How is DarkSend development going? I didn't hear much about it for some time
|
|
|
|
|
I think, that in near future we would need also some lightweight client for DRK like Multibit is for Bitcoin. Also some mobile wallets too.
|

So I just had a random idea and I wanted to see if there's any interest in me developing this (after DarkSend of course).
I think it would be really neat and much more friendly if you could type something like "Evan" in the Pay To field. Bitcoin/Darkcoin addresses are just really long and impossible to remember, it's even harder to show a Bitcoin address in a video or picture without a QR Code.
The solution? Named Addresses
When mining, the miner who successfully mines the block could "name" a darkcoin address. It would be permanently added to the block chain as an alias of that darkcoin address. The names could be up to 8-20 characters and would be paired with the 160 bit address. Upon loading the blockchain the client would form a cache of all of these and then they could be used in place of the full addresses.
It's decentralized, permanent and tamper proof.
The block explorer could even show the alias instead of the address when it had it available, so in a DarkSend you could tell that "Evan" paid someone, but you would have no idea who.
How do you get a name?
This could be an opportunity for the pool operators to make extra cash. They would take orders for name/address pairs and tell the daemon which ones to add to the blockchain next. The blockchain could only support 1 of these per block, so there could be a premium for adding them. Eventually I could see a centralized market where you buy a spot in the queue to get a name.
Thoughts?
Maybe it might work if the owner of the address paired with the name has an option to freely and instantly remove that name from the address. But tifozi has a point too: I agree. More than over complicating, it just doesn't flow with anonymity and privacy aspects that should resonate with DarkCoin imo.

But having a DarkSend dev team on our side is a great advantage. Another advantage would be if somebody created a some marketplace or provide services for DRK, which would make it backed by some real economy. But maybe some already exist, I do not follow all the news. Also DarkCoin already managed to create some community around it, which many clonecoins struggle with. The larger the community is, higher the chance that the coin will not be lost among its clones.
If DarkSend is out, very soon will also come out some clonecoin with aggressive marketing. Therefore at that time Darkcoin must be widely known among cryptocoin public so we definitely need some marketing.
However at this point all what's DRK standing on is promise of DarkSend. Therefore many speculators are holding or buying. However DarkSend is still in the very early stage of development and there is still a chance that there is some undiscovered fundamental flaw in design that cannot be easily fixed.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2014/03/05/most-popular-bitcoin-apps-soon-to-run-on-tor-anonymity-network/Bitcoin core developer Mike Hearn says that an upcoming version of bitcoinj, the software that powers many of the most popular Bitcoin apps like Multibit, Hive, and Android Wallet, will route all connections to the Bitcoin network over Tor’s anonymity network. When users of those apps buy or sell Bitcoins, their transactions will be sent through Tor’s system of three encrypted hops through computers around the world before they reach another Bitcoin node. @eduffield , can you comment on this and what it means for darkcoin? The only information this will hide about a transaction is the ip address associated with it. Sending address and receiving address of transaction are still visible and traceable when routing through tor. Darksend hides the connection between the sending address and the receiving address. this. and of course darkcoin can be used with tor too. It would be a great idea if this would be built in DarkCoin wallet too. Since this is privacy centric coin, it should provide as much privacy as possible |

I'm personally a little disappointed since one of the two things that made DRK interesting for me as announced (CPU only) turned out to be false. But I'm not selling and will follow developers work.
But it's still resistant to multipools which is also a nice feature. |

This happened to a lot of people recently, it can be used to track which addresses are associated with another. For example, if you send money from your wallet and it includes that satoshi in a transaction, the person that sent the satoshi knows that you also own the other sending address. A way to stop this is to send your coins through a mixer.
I am just interested: can you explain how is this possible or provide a link where is it explained please? |

Being that the GPU's are joining the game we wanted to redefine the difficulty/reward curve to be the same as it was in the prior phase of mining. This involves a fork to apply a new rewards curve to above a difficulty of 75, and scales at a rate similar to the growth rate seen in other GPU coins. The new formula for GPUs is 2222222/(((x+2600)/9)^2) with a block reward max of 25 and a minimum of 5. This will provide a very interesting incentive for GPUs to jump on earlier while the rewards are high, and it will ensure that the CPU miners coins remain valuable for the foreseeable future, while making this coin a more scarce and a limited resource. if(nHeight >= 17000 && dDiff > 75) { // GPU/ASIC difficulty calc
// 2222222/(((x+2600)/9)^2)
nSubsidy = (2222222.0 / (pow((dDiff+2600.0)/9.0,2.0)));
if (nSubsidy > 25) nSubsidy = 25;
if (nSubsidy < 5) nSubsidy = 5;
} else { // CPU mining calc
nSubsidy = (11111.0 / (pow((dDiff+51.0)/6.0,2.0)));
if (nSubsidy > 500) nSubsidy = 500;
if (nSubsidy < 25) nSubsidy = 25;
}Anyone using a windows wallet should update: http://darkcoin.io/downloads/darkcoin-qt.exeTo recompile from source, download from here: https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin Thanks PS. thanks to Kaene for helping out with the new formula! If your update is going to involve a fork, I think you should leave a message in the first post of this thread too. |

Now, when BTC is falling I find interesting that altcoins do not rise relatively to BTC.

How often do you minimally pay out? If I make required 50 posts for pay out not in 1 month but let's say 2 or 3 would I still be paid out?

What a funny thing that you talk about gambling and saying how bad it is and at the same time you have those online casinos adverts in your signatures  |

Согласно статье 27 Федерального закона «О Центральном банке Российской Федерации (Банке России)» выпуск на территории Российской Федерации денежных суррогатов запрещается. Can this be interpreted as ban of mining? |

How can you register with an email you forgot about?
now only cryptsy support can help you and I am surprised you register and now lost access to this email its weird for me
At first I only wanted to play a little with cryptos and didn't take it seriously or expect anything. I did not even invest any money into it. And I used a throwaway email for registration. I know, it wasn't the smartest thing I have ever done and I am going to learn it hard way now, I had some luck with altcoins trading. OK, thank you guys I am trying what you advised me and if I somehow manage to get my coins I will post it here. |
