DarkNote is a very bad name actually. DarkCoin is already a bad name. 2 reasons:

+ Confused with DarkCoin. Make no distinction between 2 brands
+ Dark- makes a bad impression about the nature of the coin, making it bad in the eye of regulators and people in the clearnet.
agree

Zoidberg, I submit that you make the executive decision to stick with BoolBerry, it sounds just fine as it is IMHO.

You say the RPC API is more usable right?

Where is the documentation for it?
I hope you have extended it...

/pol/ much?

Is this coin on an exchange?

No, people are fighting over the name.  They want it changed from boolberry to something else and that is what is holding up the exchange adding I think.  I think boolberry is fine, but everyone wants the coin to sound more edgy or something.

Bittrex is adding support for cryptonote coins.

WTB 50000 BBR for 5BTC

There is not enough BBR for you to buy such big amount.
BBR is rare and hard to mine.



correct me if I am wrong but it is half as rare as monero due to the blocktime, but the blockreward is the same for the first  18x days?

Way more than half as rare currently.
current BBR supply is ~70,000
current MRO supply is ~ 850,000

Why Mintpal don't add MRO to market?

Because they don't have any technical skill and are not able to add any crypto that is not a Bitcoin clone.


Heard bittrex is adding cryptonote support this weekend.

Honestly I didn't really see what was wrong with honeypenny or boolberry.  Sounds like an Android OS or something.

The first time I saw "boolberry" I thought "wow, that name sounds pretty amateur."  One reason I bought so much is because I think it's likely undervalued because people hear the name and are turned off. I was turned on by the tech and when I saw the name was changing, I felt a lot more confident about the coin.

I hear you, but actually I found it refreshing to not have the standard "nouncoin" being used.  Sounds like it wasn't named by some edgy teenager for a change.

hey Crypto_Zoidberg I'm a fan of your project.
I think the cryptonote system addresses some of the major concerns of bitcoin and its derivatives. I also appreciate the changes to the cryptonote system found in your system. I've been wanting to mine since launch but the windows disadvantage has put me off permanently  Undecided

I do see the efficacy of the scratchpad based hashing in the future if it grows 90MB a year. For now this doesn't even really begin to tax GPU's with 6GB of ram. Basically with 6GB ram a GPU and a 90mb blockchain, you could perform 66 hashing functions concurrently yes? With a 180mb blockchain 33, with a 270mb blockchain 22, etc etc.

I also see how producing an ASIC with ever-increasing CPUs would be wasteful, as the amount of them that can actually work is wholly dependent on the RAM, the amount of these CPUs available to hash would be reduced by a large step each year. Basically, whats the point in having a ASIC that can perform 2000 hashing functions concurrently when you only have enough ram to do 20 or 30. However I don't believe that was indicated and explained in a clear and precise manner.

It does seem that in order to aid fairness, we should actually be focusing on producing a GPU miner now and as soon as possible. This would prevent a malicious coder creating one in secret and obtaining an unfair disadvantage.
Once we take that step to GPU mining, the playing field will be even and we know that ASICs will never be developed (as they are pointless in this scenario by design). Once that GPU miner is created the road will be paved and we can all be sure that no one has an unfair advantage.

As it stands, GPU mining will be more efficient than CPU mining for... 8.333 years.
This is a lot of time in the cryptocurrency world.

Until a GPU miner is created, we will always be wondering if someone else has one, and for good reason (66x efficiency? yes please!)



I'd say that anyone who has a GPU at that point would have an unfair advantage(66x efficiency), kind of like what youre saying.  I don't have one, all I can mine are CPU coins. Everyone with a computer has a CPU, not everyone can afford a bunch of R9's.

OMG people selling so cheap. You'll regret it once it's on Poloniex.


if 0.0015 is cheap, what do you think the bid/ask at Poloniex will be? I understand this is completely guesswork at this point, but logical reasoning that backs up the arguments is always considered and appreciated.

I think it's reasonable to compare to MRO - somewhat. Look at what happened to MRO the day it hit Poloniex https://poloniex.com/exchange/btc_mro

It went from .003 to .008 and has found a stability around .0035 on average.
Now BBR is much harder to acquire and has a lot fewer coins total than MRO so I think it should have an even higher price.

Of course this is all speculation but based on my past experiences and knowledge over the last 2+ years with cryptos I believe BBR will follow a similar trend as MRO but at higher prices due to scarcity and cost to mine.

Have to agree somewhat with this.  If this was just a clone like QCN or fantomblah or whatever with nothing new to add the coin would be worthless but BBR has a very competent dev who is putting his own twist on bytecoin.  Only time will tell but I see a nice price spike in the short term.

As far as your IP given away, who cares?  All anyone can tell is that you used MRO and sent some amount somewhere and thats all right?

I told Evan to reconsider the use of ring signature due to their scaling / bloat issue a bit prior to his post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg6862900#msg6862900

If he can do it without ring signatures+bloat, we're great.

What we are actually discussing right now is this:

99.99% of transactions are already private/anonymous to all but a bad actor that has access to all the network. Otherwise if someone sees a DarkSend they don't know who sent what to who. (provided they'll also have IP obfuscation / TOR etc)

So, we are not talking about achieving privacy or anonymity right now. We're trying to be NSA-proof, or close to that so that the theoretical event of someone knowing what goes on is eradicated. As far as I understand, Evan has an idea on how to improve the way masternodes conduct their transactions so that even the nodes don't know what they are transacting. When that happens, even controlling all the nodes will be futile as an attack vector and almost total anonymity can be achieved - at least as far as coin mixing goes (Bytecoin is also coin-mixing, Zerocoin is in another league but has other drawbacks).

Masternodes are such a blatantly broken idea I cannot imagine someone encourages it in good faith. How do masternodes/miners/whoever verify if a coin is not double spent and originates from a wallet with sufficient balance if they don't know what they are transacting? There are three options:

1. Zero-knowledge proofs, but that is Zerocoin at the moment and the drawbacks are catastrophic.
2. Ring signatures and similar constructs that hide the sender in a subset of the network.
3. Some other information leak that is not documented.

Do you understand why there is no other way?

If the New and Improved DRK implements 2, then it has at most the same strength as MRO and possibly less, with the added bonus(?) of more, unnecessary centralization. If it implements 3, then it is a failed anonymity solution.

Your post shows how misinformed/ignorant you are.

Masternodes are an ingenius idea.

They serve to anonymous transactions
They serve as an incentive to uphold the network

Monero only has Ring Signatures going for it, which has terrible issues such as bloating and scaling, not to mention that anyone and his grandma can made a Bytecoin fork, like the devs of Monero did.

This issue with bloating is possibly resolvable according to the boolberry dev through blockchain truncation.  There are ways around this issue and I'm sure they'll be discovered and implemented in due time.

RC3 Progress Report

I've had some substantial progress on DarkSend and have figured out how to make our existing system as secure as ring signatures. Vastly improved security, no bloat (from the ring signatures) and without actually having to trust new cryptography (it hasn't been extensively tested like what DarkSend uses) . So I think it'll give us a HUGE advantage in the coming months. More to come soon, I'm going to start implementing this tomorrow.  Grin

Looks like Darkcoin won't be implementing ring signatures, awesome!  Monero will remain a unique competitor.

My bet is that the devs looked at it, realized they were in way too deep, and then put out some PR bullshit.

Too obvious.

By the way, as pointed out by gmaxwell, CoinJoin is already available in Bitcoin. The only difference is that this CoinJoin is run by Amazon instead of blockchain.info. Wink

I doubt he's just making this up.
