Utilizing the Masternode network - DarkTor

One of the future goals is to turn the masternode network into a decentralized business for masternode operators. To do this we’ll add features that improve the privacy of end users and compete with centralized businesses. Our first endeavor into this is to make a completely private tor network within Darkcoin.

The Darkcoin network will begin to offer anonymous internet access via the masternode network. As a user, all you’ll have to do is pay a fee for 24 hours of access. This fee will be paid to a masternode in much the same way the masternode fees are paid, using a deterministic algorithm for determining which masternode will get paid.

There’s a few benefits to running a private tor network through Darkcoin.

    Sybil resistant - Due to the cost of obtaining masternodes, it will be very difficult for any one person to view all traffic.
    Anonymous Payments - Users can pay anonymously for the service
    Private Network - Our tor network will be internal to darkcoin only. All traffic will be paid traffic, so the cost of running the service should be profitable for the masternode operators.
    Faster than tor - Tor has historically been very slow. This will be a lean version, that has much higher throughput.


As for the cost of the service we’re thinking $0.50 per day or something to that effect.

We’re still working on the details how this will function and this isn’t a feature that we’re absolutely set on. We’re very interested to get the community’s response to see if it’s viable .

In a parallel world: Drk would be open source, AA would be singing its praises, KA confirms strong anonymity, a material chunk of the Btc community abandons Btc in favour of Drk, people forgive and forget the large mining at start and markets spring up around Drk that a copy cat clone can't replicate quickly enough.

Why didn't he tweet it and release his review?!? Unbelievable.

Luigii!    Why arent you over on DRKcoin drinking the kool-aid and lying to yourself with the rest of the fanatics?

Maybe you had to jump ship and swim over to cloakcoin?? eh??

Also do you think Evan would accept the challenge of getting audited by same auditors as cloak?

After predicting the DRK price implosion just weeks ago (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg8073765#msg8073765), I have another prediction to make. I take no pleasure in saying this but I hope that those who didn't take my advice before will listen this time and save themselves some money. DRK will never again approach its previous price. The reason is that it does not provide an attractive practical solution for those who seek anonymity (relative to BTC used in conjunction with mixers). Even if it does function perfectly on a technical level, the fact remains that moving BTC into DRK generally requires dealing with an exchange that will be forced to compromise privacy as the result of increased regulations. And once you have your DRK, where are you going to spend it? There is no DRK ecosystem to speak of. BTC has hundreds of millions being invested into an infrastructure to stimulate mass adoption. If you truly wanted to be anonymous, wouldn't you want to be lost in the crowd along with regular consumers as opposed to being potentially linked to a currency inadvertently branded as the go-to solution for drug dealers, paedophiles, and tax-dodgers? In front of a jury, what's more incriminating: evidence that you had a BTC wallet on your computer like everybody else including your aunt Bertha...or that you had a sinisterly-named DarkCoin Wallet on there? I would short DRK if I knew how but I have zero skin in the game. Save yourself some serious grief and at the very least don't dump more of your hard-earned money into this.

Cloak will come out on top because of this.

Honesty and not sweeping bad news under the rug, thats the way to do it.

Once Dagger gets this done, and he will, Cloak is going back to the top.

Here is a challenge to DRKcoin. Let the same auditors look at DRKcoin anon system and report on it. Will you accept the challenge?

We are under 0.007. We are heading to 0.001. That's great !  

How many rounds do you have chosen? Something is wonky with rounds > 1.

I've had coins in a wallet denomynizing since last night and the only thing I can see that has happened is .001 drk has been deducted from my total.  No coins are shown as Anonymized.  

How long is this supposed to take?  It's less than 50 coins.  Why is drk being deducted when nothing has been anonymized?

Why are you guys using salvagewallet ?  Leave denomination process alone after starting and be more patiant before doing something bad and than blaming
RC4 is not working. I had no problems on testnet.

If you have a long standing unconfirmed transaction, simply right click the transaction, copy the txid. Then execute the command "erasetransaction txid" in the console. After that reopen the client with the command -salvagewallet, and the money should be back.
