How long does it take to download dash blockchain from scratch compared to btc blockchain? (ratio being around 900mb vs 38GB)
What if using both bootstrap.old?
bump, I tried from my own and it took 26min to download the whole dash blockchain. How much does it take to dl BTC blockchain? 20hours+? So let's say 38gb (btcblockchain) = 38912MB dash blockchain = 800mb 38912 / 800 = 48.64 48.64*26(min - how much it took to download the dash chain from scratch on my desktop) = 1264min = 21hrs So from my math if dash blockchain would be as big as btc's, the time needed to download it would be basically the same. What I am missing? |

Thank you for your responses, how much does bootstrap.dat reduce the time?

Hello guys, do you know how long does it take to download the btc blockchain from scratch on average without using bootstrap.dat?

Is dash susceptible to a 51% attack? Is it more resilient than BTC thanks to the X11 algo? Can MNs prevent it in any way?

Is there a DRK irc channel?

I have read the last couple of posts, I will add some of my thoughts plus a couple of questions to syntax.
Questions first:
a)
"Each installation is unique to itself. Your wallet files aren't transferrable to another Neos install. This prevents someone for example from replacing your files with modified wallet files to gain access or corrupt it."
So if I want to have my wallet on both my desktop and my laptop, how do I do that. Usually I just copied the wallet.dat, but if I understand correctly that is not possible anymore?
You can just save the private keys through dumpprivkey <address> of your adresses and then import them through importprivkey <key> on your other machine. |

Yes this is a fair point, I was thinking along the lines of hacking, which is generally illegal....but you are saying that companies will run self-compromised Masternodes and gather data to sell for profit. So assuming that spying on private financial transactions is OK in a particular territory (I'm thinking blanket regulations around data protection etc) then we are back to how meaningful this data is and how many nodes you need to compromise....guess we'll wait for the MN blinding white paper.
Let me give you thought exercise on the self-compromised nodes. Let's say I ran a masternode right now and posted real time transaction data on a web site. I could put ads or trackers on the web page and generate revenue, like a chain explorer. Even if the data by itself wasn't that useful, people might still be curious about it, so I'd get traffic. (Of course I could promote on twitter, post links to interesting transactions, etc.) In fact, given that this data doesn't even really expose anyone (after all its just one masternode, right?), it wouldn't hurt the price of DASH, so my collateral isn't impaired. Nothing has been really compromised. What would happen? As far as I can tell, I'd continue to get my masternode payments, people would still use my node, and I would get extra revenue from traffic on my masternode explorer. I guess Evan could do something to ban my node from the list or something. Maybe miners could do that if they even cared, but its not clear they would. Then I could just create a new one I think. Why would someone pay you for useless data? It's a web site. People curious about how masternodes work will visit it. I imagine it gets mentions in press coverage about DASH (watch a masternode in operation here), leading to more traffic. Plus probably some people trying to deanonymize transactions, whether or not that is futile. Either way, I get paid by ad/traffic revenue. The incentive for MN operators is to cooperate on this. Anyway MN binding will make no single masternode will have knowledge of all the inputs and outputs on a round of Darksend. So what is bad in a scenario like the one you just drew where MN operators sell their data (assuming someone is willing to pay/visit your website)? |

Hey guys, I'm new to this. I have a Darkcoin wallet. Do I just download the Dash wallet and everything should work?
I'm trying to understand these instructions:https://dashtalk.org/threads/11-1-dash-wallet.4450/
I have no idea how to find .darkcoin and the darkcoin.conf, never done this before, can someone make a quick video, so I don't lose my darkcoin.
I don't understand how to do this:
Linux & Mac : Goto ~/ and move .darkcoin to .dash
2.) Move darkcoin.conf to dash.conf
It means just rename the folder .darkcoin to .dash placed in /home/youruser/ and rename the file in it darkcoin.conf to dash.conf. (.darkcoin is a hidden folder, press ctrl + h in the home folder and you will see hidden files and folders) You can also do that by the terminal using the command mv $ mv ~/.darkcoin ~/.dash $ mv ~/.dash/darkcoin.conf ~/.dash/dash.conf For a better security of your wallet check https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5614/using-dumpprivkey-to-make-a-paper-backup^ this was for a linux. In case you are using a mac the darkcoin data dir should be located in ~/Library/Application Support/Darkcoin/ I see a folder inside of Application Support called Darkcoin. So do I rename this folder to Dash? Also, I don't see a file called darkcoin.conf Yup rename it to Dash. There's no darkcoin.conf in the folder Darkcoin? If so, just launch the new wallet Dash-qt. |

I believe Eduffield and other DASH experts are dealing full time with the rebranding, they will answer eventually.
