Nice, atleast this drk pool gives my gridseed a a purpose! At current rates my electricity costs are still higher than what I earn but I mine for drk prices tomorrow not today! Thanks to all those involved with xpool. Much appreciate your efforts Great, that's the idea! It' just me so thanks! |

How profitable is it to run a masternode? What's the lowest requirements for the hardware?
1000DRK needed, earnings are: ((576 blocks/day divided by number of masternodes) * 20% of block reward) so appx 0.6DRK/day currently ~ 22% annual return. Not trying to one-up, but to give people an idea of ways to get DRK. I'm pulling about 9DRK/day on xpool with my upclocked Neptune. It doesn't add hashpower to the network, but it does take a few coins out of supply. Also, the machine is pretty much worthless for mining bitcoin, so this extends it's life and earns me a coin that, personally, I feel is the only one worth having; DRK. As a few more people with ~TH worth of power have come over to xpool, the admin has added a few more profitable coins now that we have the THs to actually pull blocks off of them. In the last two weeks, instead of having output go down ad diffs go up, I've actually pulled about a 50% increase in coin profit. Where else do you mine MORE as time goes on? I even have my son running my old BFL 30GH/s unit on it. More haspower == admin adds more profitable coins == make more DRK per hash the more people show up. If you've got an FPG or ASIC for any algo, point it at xpool.ca and get DRKs. You actually CAN still mine DRK. MNs are not the only way. For me, mining DRK is still more than an order of magnitude more profitable than an MN. Neptune, like the 3ths neptune from kncminer ? Yup. Slightly upclocked. Mine push 3.3 to 3.5 TH/s @ 1480W Will be adding a couple more SHA coins tonight since the rate has been higher and consistent for a few days now. Thanks camosoul for the plug. |

Would the community be willing to run 100+ privacyServer VPS?
P.S. we can certainly start with a smaller number like 10 and see how it handles the load.
Whatever is necessary. A lot of hosting companies offer a free trial. What are the minimum requirements (CPU, RAM) and how long do you need them (3 days, 2 weeks, 1 month)? CPU is not so important, the bandwidth would probably be the most important and this is dependent on the number of nodes. it would be an indefinite need assuming it works. These nodes could also be sources for aged telepods and other handy things to have a community run set of servers that is not tied to any specific person James I can provide a VPS worth ~$100 month. Unsure how many privacyServer would be able to run on it but willing to load it up. Thanks! each privacy server needs a separate IP address, run BTCD daemon and NXT. Having a few other coin daemons would be nice too, but different privacyservers can run different coin daemons Ok. I should be able to manage 6 and maybe 7, depending on bandwidth. On separate IP's. |

hey guys apologies for the lack of knowledge, but am i reading correctly when i read about Privactservers? will BTCD now be centralized ard rely on Privacy Servers to be anon (VPS) ?
No nothing would be centralized. I think it is to offset the thoughts in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=684090.msg8849528#msg8849528If it's possible to disable it for a lite version, IE, people don't have or don't want to use additional bandwidth then these additional privacyServer would pick up some of this slack. Just my understanding.. perhaps it's not entirely accurate but James will elaborate. |

So besides all the spelling errors, which there is a ton, it basically states it will take features from other coins?
Seems to be the best way to sum up that entire paper, oh and work on something secret to try to get into SuperNET?
I don't think they have to worry about getting into SuperNET, they'll quickly be vetted and tossed. Just MHO |

Would the community be willing to run 100+ privacyServer VPS?
I think I figured out how to delink the IP address from the account even to the privacyServer!
What that means is that it could be possible to be communicate with any other node on the SuperNET, but neither knowing the IP address of the other, nor would any privacyServer know this either.
Sounds crazy, but using probabilistic routing (just thought of this while rewriting the UDP code) for each layer of the onion route it is not even known which of the N nodes you send the packet to is the one that will forward it on. This does increase the overall UDP packet traffic by something like 4, but maybe it can be reduced to 1.5 if we accept some delays and retries.
I didnt think I could remove even the knowledge of the IPaddress/account linkage between a node and its privacyServer, but I think it will work and with actually a much simpler internal structure and making everything symmetrical.
So, with the IP details not even required this allows random selection of the privacyServers to use without worry that they are controlled by an attacker. Even if it is, they wont know the packet originated from your node.
This however would require about 100 VPS to handle the expected load and their IP addresses need to be published as otherwise nobody would know who to contact in the first place without some large overhead of random discovery packet sendings.

I could provide up to 6 or 7 VPS instances for initial testing and if feasible, longterm as well. |

Hi Guys
First time poster on this thread.
I'm trying to find a forum for bitcoindark multipool mining, does one exist?
You can find the BTCD multipool links in my signature as well as a link to the thread on this forum. |

Also note that the "master" branch is not intended to be stable. Each release tree carries its own branch and tag. I can't expect them to know which repo to use, but even the official repo had a branch ltcd-1.0.1 and tag litecoindark-1.0.1 that was newer than the rollback and did sync properly. Maybe I should reconsider this policy due to the many who do not know how to checkout a branch...
Dude, with respect maybe you should reconsider this policy for those of us who do know how to check out a branch but expect master to be stable. +1 hence master. And with respect maybe you missed the part of litecoin's documentation where it states that they have the same policy. This is fairly common practice throughout the software development industry. Some people prefer to work in a "develop" branch instead. We'll see, but if you want "stable" and "tested", always use a particular branch and/or tag. guess I've been in a hole the past few years along with all my project partners. |
