guys i love darkcoin more than any other coin by far and Ive never used the darksend feature so two days ago i enabled darksend mixing for 4 rounds and still as of this moment its still idle? is no one using the mixing? its hard for me to believe in two days no one else has tried to anonymize funds. For this to become widely adopted there needs to be something entice users to enable darksend mixing.
I've been mixing for a few days without issue. Try opening the console and do a "darksend auto" which will try to denominate, look in the debug.log to see what it says. Thanks Evan will do! edit: heres the debug log output 2014-12-07 21:07:11 DoAutomaticDenominating : No funds detected in need of denominating 2014-12-07 21:07:13 dseep - Couldn't find masternode entry CTxIn(COutPoint(cf5e72f5eb0863a3a038de0f6987126dedd027a0d97efd5f6d4d34cd9f32a251, 1), scriptSig=) 2014-12-07 21:07:13 dseep - Asking source node for missing entry CTxIn(COutPoint(cf5e72f5eb0863a3a038de0f6987126dedd027a0d97efd5f6d4d34cd9f32a251, 1), scriptSig=)when i click darksend transaction it says 0 darksend balance Unless you have completed DS, you will have 0 for a darksend balance. You said you were doing 4 rounds, what amount did you specify to anon and how many coins are currently in the wallet? In coin control, where are you at in rounds for your denominations? in options i have 2 drk set to anyomize at 4 rounds, its been sitting idle for almost 3 days.. im sure its something im doing wrong at this point since most people don't have a problem and i can be an idiot and miss obvious things. Can you send me your debug.log? I'll see if I can figure out what's happening. evan@darkcoin.ioEdit: You can't anonymize 2DRK, it's MUST be at least 2.5DRK (so use 3DRK). However, I'm not sure why you're not getting an error. I'll look into that.

Well I have 4 wallets mixing at the very moment.
Which would imply that mine should be mixing with yours? Something seems wrong... I'm after some support. I've scoured the internet and can find nothing. Can't see how this is going to get mainstream adoption if people are struggling to use basic advertised functionality - instructions are hard to find and not exactly easy to understand, messages and debug log are both pretty incomprehensible... and I'm a developer, how is joe public going to use this?! Joe Public will be able to use it after I figure out all of the ways users like yourself are getting stuck Can you send me your debug.log? evan@darkcoin.io

Masternodes up again... takes about 30 mins in my case to update 3 remote & 3 local instances and backup & re-start everything
When there's not a protocol change (which only happens for main releases), you only have to replace the darkcoind on the remote instance and stop and start it. Then do a "masternode start" and it should say "remotely started".

Quantum/Super computers wouldn't do a damn thing to Darkcoin's anonymity through obscurity because there are too many viable funding sources at 8 rounds that it wouldn't be without reasonable doubt. Unless you can absolutely prove that address A sent payment to address Z, you haven't proved anything. That's the benefit of off-chain mixing. Coins that do on-chain privacy where the linkage is unknown due to encryption are the ones that are at risk should a quant/super-computer decrypt the cryptography behind it. Having said that, there would be far larger problems at stake if there were computers out there capable of breaking cryptography used in cryptocurrencies.
if you got the privatekey, you can determine all the wallets transactions.. with quantum calculations you could evaluate everybodys privatekey instantly, so it obviously won't be anonymous then.. irrespective of that, btc as we know it today would be dead anyway Actually, from the reading I've done that doesn't appear to be true. They need you to sign the private key at least once to be able to factor it. It's explained really well here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Myths#Quantum_computers_would_break_Bitcoin.27s_securityBitcoin and Darkcoin would both work fine in that situation. You would simply store money in a brand new address after every transaction and completely empty out the old ones. It would mean Darkcoin would actually remain anonymous and it would still be completely functional. Edit: found a better link as far as i followed discussions, i think that is not an appropriate solution. here is an article describing the problem http://bitcoinmagazine.com/6021/bitcoin-is-not-quantum-safe-and-how-we-can-fix/Thanks, this was a really interesting read. Lamport signatures seem to be very promising, I wonder what else we could do with that concept.

Version 10.17.23
Some issues have been reported and I'm reverting to 10.17.21 until I have some time to thoroughly test the changes. If you you're running a masternode, it's best to stick to 10.17.21 until this is resolved. Thanks!

10.17.23 - Onyx V3 - All UsersUpdated in 10.17.22 - Allow new dsee broadcasts to overwrite existing addresses of masternodes - Fixed broken unit tests - Fixed P2Pool connectivity issues (minprotocol = 70043 now) Updated in 10.17.23 - Fixed a minor DSEEP vulnerability (thanks asd) https://darkcointalk.org/threads/onyx-v3-10-17.3141/

What is the lowest amount drk you can succesfully use darksend atm? Is there a limit?
The lowest denomination in this version is 0.1 DRK so should be able to Darksend that with no problem. Exactly, technically you could send 0.001DRK anonymously, but you would still spend the whole 0.1 input.

Windows zip is blank. Linux is fine. Opps, fixed.

I think this should read... Darksend will cost .005DRK to send anonymously, per transaction (or about $0.11 $0.01) right?
Opps, it was a typo. Average cost is 1/2 the smallest denomination, which is 0.1DRK. So 0.05DRK, $0.11.

****** TESTNET: PLEASE UPDATE TO v10.17.1 ******* Protocol bumped to 40047 Darksend Improvements - Added 0.1DRK denomination - Only 2 possible denomination sets now 0.1+1DRK, and 0.1+1+10DRK (down from 16). This means that Darksend will run at least 20x faster on mainnet. Each Darksend session can only happen with the same set of denominations, so this means we'll have an easier time finding matches. - Dead Change : Darksend transactions will now over pay up to .1DRK, this means the excess change will be paid to miners. We could over pay the merchant, but it's important that we keep the ability to pay exact amounts using Darksend for backwards compatibility with all of the vendors out there. On average Darksend will cost .05DRK to send anonymously, per transaction (or about $0.11) - Removed the 3 option combo-box and replaced it with a Checkbox. If checked, the transaction will be paid with only Darksend inputs, otherwise it will use any inputs available. This should be much easier to understand. InstantX: - Changed min-signatures to 2 for testing. - Removed lots of spam Masternodes: - Fixed dsee propagation problems. Masternodes should work now. -- https://darkcointalk.org/threads/instantx-testing-v10-17.3083/page-10#post-31343

Yes Flufferboy you are correct, I dealt with rpietila directly which you and Smooth have said many times is not part of the dev team. So in a way, you're correct.
His DRK proposition is that I find an exploit for DRK that he can have tested with other resources he has hired elsewhere.
If it test out he will pay me 50BTC. He has been spot on paying me so I have no doubts he will.
My Monero deal with him expires on December 20th so until then I will not post about or bother Monero.
Considering DRK is open source and I am not going to be the one to attack it there is nothing nefarious going on.
I can promise you this though, I will find an exploit.
This coin is way too sophisticated and smooth to NOT have an exploit.
~BCX~
For every exploit you find that the dev team confirms, I'll pay you .25 BTC I'll match it.
