that would help to increase MNs to 4,000 - 6,000.

DGW is an improvement on KGW invented by Dr. Kimoto Chan for Megacoin which fixes the time warp exploit I believe.

Dude chill man it's Sunday ???Why the rage,dont you want more MN on the network to make Darkcoin a better coin??

Big dump first,better for all of us,we can buy more MN then,when the price is too high so soon we will never reach the optimum level of MN thats needed for the Darkcoin network.

DRK is such vapourware.

There already exists some regulation in the form of laws against fraud etc. Many unscrupulous people in crypto already fall afoul of these laws, but its so new and so different from what authorities currently police that virtually nobody gets prosecuted. But theres no reason why those anti-fraud laws can't run alongside a free crypto market and therefore no reason why new laws couldnt either. I for one would like to see blatant crypto fraud start being prosecuted.

We are just seeing a big market consolidation, only the very strong will survive and DRK has come up pretty good if you ask me.

The scamming is not Crypto's fault, it's human nature.

You take a poor village in a remote part of the world, give them an internet connection and an unregulated money supply, they will do everything in their power to scam everyone they can.  They will rationalise it too by taking the "we are poor and they are rich" stance.

You also lose a lot of empathy and compassion behind a computer screen, so the average Joe that wouldn't dream of snatching a purse from an old lady, is quite happy be more adventurous online under the guise of "It's an Open Market".

So there is the state of modern crypto.

You've got your right wing traditionalists that wont even touch Crypto without compliance and regulation in place, you have your left wing libertarians that will resist any form of control points or regulation, the real solution we end up with in 10 years time will be somewhere in the middle.

Clients send the coins to me and I am the Escrow.

I create a separate wallet.dat and darkcoin.conf file for each MN.
Once the 1000DRK has been gathered, I contact Flare and he gives me the needed MN Server info.

Flare's fee is paid upfront for the Server.

At the end of the month, I issue the MN payout per the percentage stake for each Client.

I run a number of United MasterNode(s) for a number of different people.

Some MN's have 80/20, 50/50, 60/40 and I even have a few MN's where the Client just doesn't want to do anything but collect the DRK payout, so I hold the entire 1000DRK.

You can find more info here:
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/services-darkcoin-mn-escrow-service.2701/

Also if you scroll down you can see a current example of Ecrow fee
Flare's fee is $9/mo per MN and you would be accessed a portion of said fee per percent stake.

A spreadsheet is kept of all transactions and fee(s), of which you can request a copy of at anytime, after the end of the month payout.

You will also be given the MN IP and Address so you can follow along with the BlockChain.

This is a very transparent and open services.

I really want individuals that are looking long term. People that just want to get in for a few days or weeks, need not apply. You are being "paired-up" with people that have long-term goals. When a client leaves a MN, they break the MN, unless a replace is found ASAP

HAPPY MASTERNODE'ING


(this  ecrow service is Evan and Flare approved :-)

Thank you Sir :-D
BUMP :-D

I welcome any XC'ers here looking for some semblance of salvation. You'd almost think otherwise given how much shit I was given for pointing out the fact their mixer never worked for me and as a result, I was dumping my coins.

This doesn't even factor in their PRs slandering DRK.

Darkcoin doesn't use TOR so that doesn't apply to Darkcoin directly.

However, the principles _could_ theoretically be used against Darkcoin Masternodes as well, but in practice it's almost impossible to do .
You would need IP-spoofing to pretend to be a Masternode and DOS other Masternodes with that to get temporarily banned as Masternode. And you would have to do this for the majority of Masternodes, and you would need physical access to the network of that Masternode to successfully spoof its IP.
With > 1000 Masternodes spread all over the world this is NOT doable, even for NSA and friends.

Additionally, the theoretic weakness of having any IP being visible in public was already foreseen by eduffield and addressed in his development update from 01. October 2014, see https://darkcointalk.org/threads/development-update-oct-1-2014.2561/, chapter "Masternode Security", diagram "multi-path routing".

tc;du: the answer is NO  

I just doubt there are enough people who actually care though.

As a small example... Right now you can chat securely online very easily (using Pidgin with the encrypted add-on) and yet the majority of people continue to use programs like Skype or Yahoo, even after it's been shown how these are monitored and logged.

So if people can make simple changes to secure their privacy and don't bother, why would they make more complex ones such as buying and using cryptocurrency?

As sad as it sounds the only people right now who are really interested in Darkcoin are either privacy nuts or drug dealers. The general public don't even know about it, let alone have an opinion formed. And for the cryptocurrency they do know about (basically just Bitcoin), they generally don't care enough to learn about it or buy it.

The Snowden revelations should have dramatically changed how people go about things. Unfortunately it has not. To me that's a clear indication of how seriously people take their privacy

Darkcoin has better tech than most coins and is still in the dumps. The notion that even Dogecoin has 5x daily volume and 3x market cap is rather bewildering to me.

Honestly I would absolutely love DRK to be $100. Would be the easiest money I've ever made and prove that people want to adopt an anonymous currency and take privacy seriously. Every indicator however for the last 6 months has shown the opposite.

Right now I have absolutely zero clue where cryptocurrency is going. Bitcoin has one major advantage in that it has a fuck ton of investment going on to create mass adoption. No other coin has that.

Either way I'm still holding both

Yeah it's a great theory, but it relies on the price coming back up. The fundamentals of DRK might be solid, but that means jack shit in the cryptocurrency World.

So again, investing in cryptocurrency is paramount to gambling. Plain and simple.

I own a decent amount of Bitcoin and Darkcoin. They're the only 2 cryptocurrencies I have interest in. Admittedly I use Bitcoin pretty much daily for various services and supplies, Darkcoin not so much. But I still consider both a gamble in terms of return on "investment".

That's why no matter how smart you think you are, what clever trading techniques you apply, the core rule still applies... Don't buy what you can't afford to lose

You're essentially telling a gambler who is broke to go back to the casino and keep betting red.

Neither you, I, or anyone else knows what the price of DRK will be in a month or year from now. That's fact. At this point cryptocurrency is more of a gamble than a solid investment.

That's why putting any significant % of your income into it (when you don't have much cash to begin with anyway) is a bad fucking idea.

A lot of people just don't seem to get that and the result is these emotional breakdowns when the price crashes. They're looking for other people to be mad at, when in reality they only have themselves to blame
