yes, a 51%-attac is a bad thing. but its not the end. so when a 51A happens, the second (or more likely, some minutes after ) people will point their power elseware. is the state of the shares concerning? yes. is the end of the world near? no. //BUT thank you for your concerns. Its good to have people around pointing out weaknesses!An attacker that controls more than 50% of the network's computing power can, for the time that he is in control, exclude and modify the ordering of transactions. This allows him to:
Reverse transactions that he sends while he's in control Prevent some or all transactions from gaining any confirmations Prevent some or all other generators from getting any generations
The attacker can't:
Reverse other people's transactions Prevent transactions from being sent at all (they'll show as 0/unconfirmed) Change the number of coins generated per block Create coins out of thin air Send coins that never belonged to him

who created this beauty?
if im not mistaken it was droptablenope. not one of mine. its a beautiful one!

I like it a lot! That's the spirit of darkcoin right there! It's cool and all but if it was real - it would be displayed backwards in the sky. Needs flipped 180 degrees :-) i didnt thought about that.... ...will probably do at another day... // thanks for the kind words, everyone !

--P2pool is unusable for small miners ...
This is absolutely not true. it kinda is. you have to have really luck to submit a valid share. (as a small miner)

p2pool ..-..
okay i see, but any suggestions how it could be made more attractive to miners? ...
artificially lower the difficulty. I know, from a mathematical perspective its bullsh*** but from a psychological perspective it matters. back in the btc-days i tended towards the pool, where i got the most "<yay>"s back.

********** Trading Alert ********** Someone has created the Dow Jones of crypto alts. DRK carries a 5% weighting which is not bad considering that the maximum that any other alt has is 10%. http://jnxt.org/crypto25/#Thats a good idea, but as always in this wild wild west world you have to trust a third party. or you just right a script, and take their numbers without using their structure.
|
|
|
what does unwinding DRK xns. mean?
+1 ! trace an transaction. as far as i understand it, he/she wishes that someone get jailed because one could trace a DRK transaction. good luck

Evan,
Did you reed my proposal on how to handle the darksend fees? (darkcointalk -> security bulletin?)
Im aware that bringing out a version that just works is more important at the moment, so my proposal is more about a long-run version.
// -> I m completely okay, if you just answer with something like "read, but its crap", but i wanted to make sure that it didnt fell through completely.
THANKS FOR YOUR WORK !

forecast: Philae will go down. DRK will go up.
#ComentLanding everyone!

i try to find a good start for a logo series for masternodes, instantx and darksend
i DONT get why the masternodes need a logo, BUT i really like your work! looks like the next big startup*. *wich it IS. just in a different meaning.
|
|
|
I think i´ve solved the fee-problem.
i m not kidding. Will write it down, when i m back from work.
iiiiiiiiiiihaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, i can finally contribute something of value......

Denomination should ALWAYS be
5 2 1 1 [1]
and the last 1 split into
5 2 1 1 [1]
and so on.
and you just give a depth.
//explanation you dakrsend 100DRK with a depth of 3: 50, 20, 10, 10, 5, 2, 1, 1, 0.5, 0.2, 0.1, 0.1 wich meens your funds will be mixed with the 50ts and twentys and tens of the guy who darksends his 1000DRK. no more "i m mixing 1000DRK, can somebody please do the same"

[..] In my opinion, once they are properly priced into the coin, we will be at a new all time high.
if you are right, May is coming early this winter

I completely agree with you, and that's why I meant "dirty" job. [...]
sry that i misunderstood you. cheers.

I'm still so amused that Dogecoin is high up there.
No offense, but I think they are just doing the dirty work -> begin jovial, tipping everyone and sucking in new people into the crypto space.
Once those guys wisen up and learn more though, I don't see why they would choose to stay into doge.
"just" the dirty work. dont get me wrong. i m a longtime drk-holder, and i like to poke doge sometimes (see my post history) but i think they do an amazing job bringing new faces into the cryptoworld. the techies and futurists are already here. dogecoin brings in the soccer-mums and racing-dads. we souldnt undervalue that, even if their coin has no real invention build into it.
