Ok, I have an alternate idea. Let's start a Darkcoin foundation. The goal of the foundation would be to further darkcoin in all aspects (marketing, legal, charity, bounties etc.).
To further the foundation's goals, let's try to persuade the major pools to voluntarily donate 0.1% of mining output to the foundation (this can come directly out of the fee they charge miners - if they charge a 1% fee, they can either tack on .1% or keep their fee at 1% and pocket 10% less than they do currently). This would of course be COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY. In exchange the pool will be given special status on the main darkcoin website/subreddit/forum post etc. Something simple like "Darkcoin Foundation donor" and a special little icon next to the pool name. If we could get the major pools to agree we could generate some significant bounties for important causes, and most importantly it would be voluntary. Discuss.
That's fine by me, that's actually the same amount of money I proposed above but via donations. That would allow for us to pay for marketing costs, building the foundation, etc. Sounds great. Evan, maybe you can set up a Darkcoin Foundation wallet address? Then we can start contacting pool operators. I would also be great if we can get chaeplin to create a page similar to http://drk.poolhash.org/darksend.html to track the Foundation's wallet. I've recently taken over Sam's bounty fund wallet and sent the funds to XbvMksW32pWkJi4epVVfGZ3YheoNF9exRw. Until we have an actual foundation I think this address should be used for all donations. http://explorer.darkcoin.io/address/XbvMksW32pWkJi4epVVfGZ3YheoNF9exRwDebits and Credits: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UhfA0hjcSekwJwrY0ixDys_3DFRDuR594vI7z6BxCaE/edit#gid=0 |

I'm also fine with that bcs it means a steady stream of coins with which we can do things properly. As for creating the foundation, I'm also in favor, and have another proposal in terms of its functioning: I propose to set the foundation, and have its annual and important 'voting' decisions performed in a proof-of-stake manner. that means that bagholders will send a 0.000001DRK to wallet A or B or C based on their vote. Each vote can represent a single hand, or a wallet (the amount of DRK it contains). The script should obviously check that the coins in the wallet are not newly transferred so as to avoid double counting. That's a neat idea. I think we could implement that for all Darkcoin decisions (why not into the client itself, it could just sign the inputs to prove the stake and post them to a website). |

think most here would agree that the technological achievements of Darkcoin are FAR AHEAD of the coin's marketing. I think most will also agree with LimLims that such activity needs a dedicated professional person.
I therefore propose the following - from the next fork, X% of the masternodes proceeds will go into a dedicated multi-sig wallet that will pay a salary to a dedicated full-time professional marketing person.
Hopefully, in time, the price of darkcoin will go up, this fund will be able to employ more than one person, and thus also pay the developers, webmaster, etc.
imho, the time has come to become less bootstrap and more professional.
I love this idea! But I'd like to expand on it, I think it would be better to go into the bounty fund and that fund would be much more generic. For example, we just needed an icon designed, now we need a website, color scheme, etc. As the price grows, the size of things we need to get done grows just as much. Next we'll need to setup a foundation, retain an attorney to help with legal matters, etc. I propose 1/10 of the masternode payments go toward a bounty fund for generic uses. - At current market prices this will be $184.03 per day (259 DRK) If the price goes to $5, that will be $1296 per day, which should be enough for a full marketing budget, the foundation, a retained lawyer and maybe on office for the foundation? |

you bought some blackcoin right before it exploded in value uhm no. and what does it have to do with darkcoin??? how would that subject be related to darkcoins unfair distribution and insta-mine issue??? I believe this coin has one of the fairest distributions ever, but even if it is not, who cares? uhm no. it doesnt. 50% of the coins in circulation are insta-mined. oh and ALOT of people care about unfair distribution. 100% of blackcoin was instamined in the first six days (only 1% more coins per year after the first six days). I always wondered by people care with Darkcoin and not Blackcoin. |

Yeah, it might be a bad choice of words to call theres masternodes. May be it should have a name which does not suggest a hierarchy but reflects the purpose, for example: darknode, mixernode, dsmnode (dark send mixer/maintainer node) or something like that. By the way, I see the development crossed the line where it's no longer safe for the average Joe to run a masternode. You need to enter your wallet passphrase on the online machine, so now it can be easily stolen (keyloggers). To tell the truth, I am not sure if I have the curage myself to do this (enter the passphrase without immediately sending every coins to new addresses). And I would not call myself neither a noob, nor a coward.  Any chance for binaries built for OpenWRT? I think I want to give it a shot and run darkcoind on my router. May be I would be slightly more comfortable with that. It's easier to monitor because it's a lot smaller and simpler linux OS. Q: What happens if I loose my IP address? If your masternode is down, the network will try to connect to you then it will use the next one and remove you from the list. |

Rather strange. I'm attempting to make a small transaction (less than 5) to an exchange just to check out Darksend, yet it just lists the transaction as sending 0 DRK. It's also listed as 'Payment to yourself' under transactions. Address is listed as N/A. I tried sending the same amount with darksend 3 times. Amount is 0 on the first attempt, and -0.001 on the second two attempts. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Also, it's not asking me for my passphrase when I withdraw and the wallet is encrypted. It should be asking for my passphrase.
DarkSend denominates money into a 10DRK input, that's what the payment to yourself is. That input is then submitted to the masternode. Also keep in mind for a darksend to go through, it requires 3 separate transactions. So that takes time (or you can make 3 darksends in a row). |

Hmm... My wallet.dat is encrypted and I did not enter my passphrase, yet my debug.log says: 2014-04-18 01:37:47 RegisterAsMasterNode
2014-04-18 01:37:47 Found unspent output equal to nValue
2014-04-18 01:37:47 Is capable master node!
2014-04-18 01:37:47 Adding myself to masternode list CTxIn(COutPoint(de7dc202c4237ec63718b461a020fde5cc8d29b6d0a18634b1965bc93c75e0c3, 0), scriptSig=) And the "masternode list" command returns a list with my IP address on it.  I just tried to duplicate that and it said: $ ./darkcoind masternode start error: {"code":-1,"message":"Your wallet is locked, passphrase is required\n"} I issued no such command, just the usual: ./ darkcoind -daemon and I still have the masternode=1 setting in my darkcoin.conf file as the old instructions said. What IP addresses you see as active masternodes? Was that the first time you ran as a masternode? Maybe it only needed to generate the hash for your wallet once and then afterwards you dont have to enter it. I will check with Evan That would have been possible with the last beta, make sure you're running v0.10.3.7. |
