861  Other / Politics & Society / Re: You think MtGox's lost 850k btc is beyond comprehension? ... watch this. on: March 25, 2014, 05:36:43 AM
this got me thinking... with such losses and such debt soon a loaf of bread would be worth $10,000...

is this governments way of making the dollar divisible by more zero's then 2.. to try competing with bitcoin

Cheesy (sarcastic face)

My grandmother was a young mother in 1923 in Germany when they had hyperinflation.  She said on payday, the women would go collect the money in wheelbarrows as soon as it was available and ran to the stores to buy their loaf of bread before the value fell and they couldn't get anything anymore.

But we all know Fiat is safer and more real than crypto currency, LOL.  It has the government backing it!

Hyperinflation
Nazi fanaticism
Mass murder of millions of Ukrainians

but none of this can ever happen again, no, not in the U.S.A.!

I can argue right now we are becoming a fascist state.

yes, when we become sheeple, we get what we deserve.

I'm sorry, but I can't even find the tip bot and have no idea how to work it/what it does???  I keep thinking I'll go figure it out, but I'm at a loss!  Please explain like I'm the little old senile lady that I am?

I did get the links in my signature, I'm proud of myself, but unfortunately, unless I go to other threads, I'm preaching to the choir. LOL, I'm trying to go to other threads to see if I like any subject that I can dig into, but bitcointalk is always unavailable.  I can't get pages to load, grrr!

By the way, for those of you who are newbs like myself, I wrote what I learned about making paper wallets in a thread at DarkcoinTalk!

I do not understand why we are still talking about redesigning the logo ??
shouldn't we stick with the one being use by the exchanges and such !?
The logo is fine and in use, so be it, there will always be people who like it and others who do not !
The developers launched with the blue logo, and we should stick to that !!!
(we are too far in by now to redesign)

+1

I thought the same thing at first, but I've been convinced that having a true logo, is completely different and functions completely differently.  It's an icon for the coin.  I can't explain it any better than eltito did here; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5879040#msg5879040

It's marketing, branding, etc... stuff most of us don't seem to understand, but luckily a few do, LOL (I am included, but am slowly getting it, and do intellectually understand it is important!)

I don't think the Alt coin world really knows about drk. Totally under the radar.

This is so incredibly true. Just the other day there was a reddit post about the upcoming 5/20/100 m/hash scrypt asics, and the only coin really talked about as an alternative were the scrypt-n coins (vert mainly).

Once summer temperatures arrive I honestly think that the X11 algorithm will really appeal to people. It is almost an inside joke with people who have to put up with 85-90 degree temps in their house/room due to the heat their rigs produce. The vastly reduce power draw of the X11 algo will make such an immense difference for miners that I don't think people can truly appreciate yet.

That said.. I really do think it is a good thing for now to keep the coin under the radar until the final kinks are worked out and things are finalized. Even with the recent DGW fork, something like that is far easier to implement when there is a relatively small number of exchanges and pools to convert over. ....and i'm not going to lie, it would be nice to mine as much as I can before the time comes when 100-400 difficulty was the 'good ol days'.

Vertcoin have a way bigger reddit community than we do, all mentions of vertcoin anywhere are always upvoted like it's the second coming of jesus.

But WHY?  What are we doing wrong?  I think it's time to kick it up a notch!  I just don't know how, and those outside threads are scary!  LOL  I don't want to be an annoying poster saying "come here, it's better" LOL  What my husband and I can do is write an article introducing Darkcoin, but I haven't a clue how to get it published!

Help Test DGW!

I've got a new version of DGW and I've tested a few architectures, could some people jump on testnet and make sure it works for them?

Compile this branch:
https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin/commits/dgw-fixes/src

Add this to your config:
addnode=54.205.156.184
testnet=1

It's at block 11 right now. Let me know


doing compile. 32bit + 64bit
stratum will be up.

I use https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin/archive/dgw-fixes.zip

Actually, does Evan want 32 bit systems?  I have NO idea how to compile for windows (and only an idea of how to compile for Ubuntu, ROFL)  If someone slaps 'em up on the forum soon, I'll put my 2 kid's windows xp to work?

Sorry Evan, I simply don't know how.  Can't even figure out how to download, LOL (only know git clone, LOL)

Hate to ask, but if you could throw up a qt wallet, I'll put it on the Ubuntu for testing asap, just have to leave in 30 minutes!

As much as I appreciate people working on new logos and things, good on them!  But honesty, I love the current logo! It's awesome, and I don't think it would be a good move to change it.  If people want to work on designs and thigns, why not work on some cool graphics making use of the current one.

I saw some cool 3D / realistic and vector coins a few pages, love them!

I've seen this sentiment several times, but I'm not sure why.  Namely because I dont' think we have a proper logo.  If I'm mistaken about that, will someone please be so kind as to point me in the right direction?

It seems to me that a lot of people are confused, so please allow me to clarify...

This is a logo.  It is for use in multimedia branding and marketing.

This is not a logo.  It is not for use in multimedia branding and marketing.

We have tons of these on this thread, and few or none of these.

I don't think people understand the difference and the links you posted aren't working Smiley

I've submitted a design brief to designcrowd.com, and some interesting designs are coming in. Here's a peek at one of the submissions:



Currently at 413 / 600 DRK for logo design fundraising.

Xc8xGSP7FwWGPQpgw298z7NYdA8xJK8ooh

I really like this, but the logo looks backwards.  The bottom of the lock should be the other way around to create the D don't you think?

That and Evans upcoming announcement. The rise really started once that came out. I don't think the Alt coin world really knows about drk. Totally under the radar. But those that do know are overwhelmingly positive. Price action is nice but what I like about drk is that the price is really an afterthought. That's why this recent rise is so nice I really don't care. It's all about content here and people come. The way any coin should be. I've stacked all I can stack for the time being anyway. Thanks to everyone who sold it to me these past few weeks below .00125. Let's keep this thread content useful to those that flock here.

To the darkcoin devs, you all are making me very proud to be a part of this. Keep up the exceptional work.

What's funny is that as the price dropped then hung down there for so long, I wasn't worried about the price, but felt emotionally sad 'cause I felt like Darkcoin was being ignored and unappreciated, LOL.  Now that it is slowly rising, I can't help but hope people will now notice all the great work Evan and co. have put into this coin, and all the good things to come.  A rise in price usually means more attention, but with Darkcoin you never know, LOL

Children, enough bickering! I'll turn this car around, I swear to god.

This is so funny, I actually thank the troll for bringing it out of you, and for ignore so it was all I saw!  LOL  Cheesy  Grin  Cheesy

is this coin getting pumped?

Assuming this is a serious question, and after last night's foray 'outside' to the alt forum (still having nightmares)  I can't say people aren't out there trying to talk Darkcoin up, but I don't think that'd work anyway.  I don't think that this coin is being pumped.  The rise has been a long time coming.  We've been at the mercy of that bot and frankly low volume.  The volume has picked up probably because the number of coins to be produced has been narrowed down to a more known and lower range, making it more rare.  We had a discussion about it many times, and this change was the final result.  This more than anything is probably causing the rise in price at the moment though many of us see the current price not congruent with what this coin is truly worth.

Dumb question and I'm sorry for repeating what I am sure has already been asked but when it DarkSend making its way into the DarkCoin client?

I can see that it was almost code complete and being tested a month ago.

I hope we have another beta out this week because I liked using it.  I don't like that people can look up my address and see what came in and what left my wallet!  I plan on making some paper wallets for my nephews, but I don't want people to know how much I'm putting in there, etc...  Not that anyone would really care, but heck, it's my business!


I am testing automatic script which will adjust pool fee based on coinmine network share. I should have code ready by end of tomorrow.

feeleep

That's good news. Very nice, feeleep  Smiley

That'd be really great feeleep!  We all appreciate it!!

Oh my gosh, I just went "outside" to the Alt announcement forum to see what is out there, and it scared the heck out of me!  So many alts!  So many are dead already!  I can see why people just drop in and yell "scam coin"!  It's crazy! 

I think I'm suffering from Agoraphobia now! (shivers)  Shocked

Person 1-3 are 35-40 age group, person 4 is 30.

.....
Nice!
I think the topic rewrite to " [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X-11 | First DGW | ASIC Resistant" will more attraction to me if i was Newbie or Investor

Precisely!

It's either that or I'm not a persuasive speaker (probably the latter, LOL)

If you think the title should be changed, you really ought to pm internet ape or eduffield??

When did the max coins get changed from 80 mil to 20 mil?

Still says 250 million on their thread??

he means max coins for DRK

?

Actually, I went to their thread and saw that they decided last night on twitter to halve the rewards and in response, their coins are rising in value.  So they're going somewhere from 250,000,000 to 125,000,000.
Because of the predominant personality of it's namesake, I find this coin to be the most obnoxious of all the alt-coins.

Maximum coins for DRK was changed from 84 million to 22 million on the first page of this thread.

OOOOOooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!  Embarrassed  LOL

I have NO idea why people say I'm slow.........

Is Darkcoin open source?

Any plans? Is edduffield the only dev?

Darkcoin is opensource, however, DarkSend, is not yet.  This is because the developers want to make sure it's finished, working perfectly as intended and doesn't have any unforeseen vulnerabilities before everyone adopts it.  Even so, when it is open sourced, DarkSend will be difficult to implement into existing coins.  The best way to get another coin with the feature will be to clone Darkcoin wholly.  And we know this will happen, however we are so far in the lead, I honestly don't think it will matter.  Plus our lead developer, Evan, is constantly surprising us with his amazingness, we'll always be ahead of the game!

We have Evan as our lead developer, and I know of InternetApe as well, and several other people are involved but I do not know how many or if they prefer to be anonymous.  Essentially, Evan drives this coin and we all help best we can Smiley

Yes, please use a different pool than Coinmin.pl

http://lotterymining.com is a SUPER pool!  But most of the others are also excellent.  There is NOTHING special at Coinmine.pl, they charge 1% for mining there, and at http://lotterymining.com you have a chance to win every week!

Ok, I've gone back and forth 3 times, but can't find the original post that posted this link on branding Bitcoin:
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-needs-got-milk/

It's an excellent article, and I highly recommend everyone read it.  I'm sorry I forgot, and couldn't locate the original post!  But too good to just have it disappear.

I just wanted to say that after DarkSend, I have something amazing up my sleeve. I think this next project will actually define Darkcoin, plus it requires being built on top of a p2p currency to function correctly (and it's privacy centric...) .  I don't want to say more, because I want to a ways into the development before I announce it  Grin

I've been thinking about how to do this for months and just figured out the logistics of how it would work this morning... very excited  Wink
Is it bad that I touch myself to this?

Maybe pinching would be less X-rated Smiley

Something smells fishy here. I'm like mainly mining because of DarkSend. That's it, that's all I need to put my rigs on duty.

Now we have DarkX that will define Darkcoin, if that wasn't DarkSend? What's better than e-cash? If you can make e-cocaine, then I'm selling my house to buy more DRK.

nah. Rather e-LSD since LSD has no negative physical effects compared to cocaine Cheesy

Except for the flash-backs that can happen years later, LOL
