Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Ok, so we had some great entries for the 2-5 sentence layman's explanation of DarkSend. In the end I went with TanteStefana's submission, since it's pitched at newbies, is to the point & concise: DarkSend is an integrated technology inside DarkCoin that protects privacy by pooling like-sized payments and by hiding who paid whom. This blocks the pattern-seeking detection methods that are used to break privacy by making them too difficult and expensive to pursue. The developers of DarkCoin and DarkSend believe they offer users the best possible privacy protection available to any crypto-currency. TanteStefana, PM me your darkcoin wallet address and I'll send the bounty through! |

Move on to other coin to mine. Only if 0.009 BTC than is profitable otherwise no reason to mine (labour work) free for other to buy cheap The coin's price cannot increase if coinmine.pl still more than 50%.

How many people judged the entries? Was there an official closing date posted? I dont mind TanteStefana getting the 40 DRK per se, I just think we could maybe do better…?? |

once a week 50% of the fees, will be drawn,
to one lucky winner... is it your turn next?[/center]
Hi CHAOSiTEC, Could you pls explain how the draw is made and the winner chosen? Do all workers have the same chance regardless of hashrates? Also, what is the minimum amount of mining time required to be eligible for the draw? Cheers Each user, not miner, gets 1 lottery ticket per day mining, after mining for 1 week, you would have 7 tickets. each time, i generate a list with the usernames listed x number of times ( = number of lottery tickets) then i use random.org's list randomizer, and random.org's integer generator, to select the winner :-) Thanks for the reply. I wonder if you might livestream the draw every week for a) transparency and b) drama! I was on lotterymining b4 but began to suspect my chances of winning would rise if my bitcointalk handle matched my lotterymining username (which it does not). I wondered if an anonymous user would win at all! So… Q1. would you consider streaming to draw for all to see? Q2. Max 7 tickets per user per draw?? thanks Q2 first, Yep nobody gets any edge, besides miners with names i have never seen, have also won, your welcome to scan all posts by me because i have posted the winners each time. Q1 - this one is a though one, because of my work i am unable to do so, unless i change the draw to 1. every month. (i work on a boat with limit bandwidth, but im also thinking about building a script to do the drawing for me, maybe that could be considered the same, if done with ... wait for it... suspence :-p |

I'd be surprised if you couldn't… you're a pool operator after all  thanks for the reply |

Some of them I decide, some of them the dev team decides, some the community will decide on. Generally each is marked as such. It's difficult to put bounties to vote because money is on the line, and psudonymous voting can be gamed. This one was more of a fun bounty, hence the low amount. I'm not going to enter into debate about the decisions though, let's just congratulate the winners and move onto the next target. |

I would say: It's cash over the internet that can't be linked to who you are making all your transactions private. or words to that effect. EDIT: for the one liner: Cash For The Internet |

I'm not going to enter into debate about the decisions though, let's just congratulate the winners and move onto the next target. seriously? that's your reply…? I'll be blunt… IMO the submission is not good enough to be used for press and public, regardless how low or "fun" the bounty. 40 DRK was around $100 not long ago and will be much more soon. If TanteStefana's submission wont be used in PR what's the point of the bounty in the first place? This is a bounty which should have been decided by consensus. Evan should have signed off on it at least. Congrats TanteStefana - nothing personal. Pls consider using the edits submitted. Cheers |

I don't want to sound too 'commercial', but perhaps we can post for all cryptos out there, that we make this list available for anyone paying X BTC. This can help us fund other marketing activities, like the logo, website, etc. |

Don't know how you come to that conclusion? I have 1320 MH/s for X11 and I made exactly 2.77862 DRK in the last 36 hrs 23 mins at P2P pool. This leads me to 1,8 DRK a day. 1.8*$0.71 = $1.278 Now for scrypt I have 410 kH/s which leads me to $1.20 for Doge a day and $1.29 a day for Scrypt Multipool. Then you have to take into consideration that the X11 algorithm takes 30% less power. I guess that eliminates the $0.012 difference, my friend. |

Hi guys... I'm new to DarkCoin (moved from Vertcoin!) and would like to start mining. Anyone got config for R9 280X?
Is the new sgminer (4.1.153) compatible with DRK or I need to get 4.1.0? Thanks in advance!

Then for the parameters, start out with the scrypt or vertcoin parameters you used and maybe increase the intensity if it's not at 20 already. Or you can start from scratch  |

Thank you, guys. I'll try out the settings in the link posted by coins101.  However I could not find a link to a specific SGminer on the first page, except for a standalone CPU miner. Any website I could possibly download a windows binary? Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere in the thread, but going over 500+ pages is really daunting.  |
