If I had my wallet stolen, what method can retrieve it?

This is basically the same as Bitcoin.  If you lose your wallet, you lost it.  Be careful be responsible.  And I'm saying that with proper fear for my coin which I will put into cold storage as soon as Darksend is complete (or allows over 10 coins in a transaction, LOL)

Make investments possible (just dice style) and this be huge not only for you and the pool, but the whole coin.
Doge dice made doge coin.

looking into it... thanks for the suggestion :-)

while understanding the code, can someone please explain what is this...

   int64 nSubsidy = 0;
    if(nHeight >= 5465) {
        if((nHeight >= 17000 && dDiff > 75) || nHeight >= 24000) { // GPU/ASIC difficulty calc
            // 2222222/(((x+2600)/9)^2)
            nSubsidy = (2222222.0 / (pow((dDiff+2600.0)/9.0,2.0)));
            if (nSubsidy > 25) nSubsidy = 25;
            if (nSubsidy < 5) nSubsidy = 5;
        } else { // CPU mining calc
            nSubsidy = (11111.0 / (pow((dDiff+51.0)/6.0,2.0)));
            if (nSubsidy > 500) nSubsidy = 500;
            if (nSubsidy < 25) nSubsidy = 25;
        }
    } else {
        nSubsidy = (1111.0 / (pow((dDiff+1.0),2.0)));
        if (nSubsidy > 500) nSubsidy = 500;
        if (nSubsidy < 1) nSubsidy = 1;
    }

& how does it work.

I am not a programmer, but I believe nHeight is block number, Diff is the difficulty, 2222222/(((x+2600)/9)^2) this is the calculation with x= difficulty, that sets the payout and that's about all I can say, LOL

And I believe nSubsidy is the amount paid out for the block.

So I believe this is the section of code that calculates payout amounts

of course I know that, what I don't understand how the calculation works, it it detects GPU/ASIC & CPU. From what block to what block reward is calculated?

it doesnt detect which a block has been mined with, its calculated out of how popular the coin is

I am trying to mine this coin ever since sph-sgminer came out with X11 OpenCL GPU mining support. And it proved to be really difficult to do it effectively and reasonably. But I think I am on track now, only small tweaks might come from here.

And now I just realized that my 3x290 + 1x290X rig (used to be one more 290X but that one recently burned out ) takes out 1/15 of the whole network speed.
I guess I could easily mine it directly without the help of a pool (may be I actually will, just because that feels better for me for some reason I can't shape into words). And now I miss my 5. card even more.

Scrypt ASIC is on our doorsteps and Litecoin doesn't wish to adapt (follows BTC which I think is very ironic after it's main feature was to get rid of the BTC ASIC, but now it welcomes it's own ASIC...).
Vertcoin tried but also failed in my eyes (their N factor scaling it still too light, it won't take too much time and effort until a scrypt ASIC will be able to mine that as well).

And even if it will prove to be comparably easy to create an ASIC for X11, there is still something about DarkCoin which I think will make it unique between these third generation (post- SHA2 and Scrypt(N)) coins. Not just DarkSend, or DGW, but the whole feeling around it.

I think this could easily be the next most popular coin in the BTC, LTC/DOGE, DRK/?, VTC/? line in less than a year. So, I think this coin will be the first after BTC which I won't immediately exchange for BTC or EUR but keep (most of it) on a paper wallet.

So, if you are on auto-sell, don't worry about my 1/15 claim of the net speed just now.

stupid question but how do I back up the wallet data from the old wallet ?

NOT STUPID at all!!!  Very important to know how to back up your wallet, you could lose all your coin if you don't!!!  Two ways.  

1. With your wallet open, go to the menu File => Backup Wallet.  Choose a location to save it and give it a name, I usually use the type of coin "Darkcoin_wallet.dat"

2. With the wallet closed, go to your wallet folder, in Windows, it's in C:/Users/AppData/Roaming/Darkcoin/  Find the wallet.dat file and copy it then save to another location.  In Ubuntu at least, it's in your home file, hidden (so choose show hidden) and is called .darkcoin.

To restore a wallet, you can just load and sync a wallet, then replace the wallet.dat file with the one you saved

so when I back up the old xcoin wallet  I need to find it in c: the copy it and add it to the new darkcoin wallet folder(anywhere in folder?)

im trying to get 222 coins sent from old wallett new wallet

So you have two distinct versions of "wallet.dat" ? One with the "old" address and one with the new ? And you have transferred 222 DRK from the old to the new one ?

yes exactly

1. Save the two somewhere with distinct names e.g. "wallet-old.dat" and "wallet-new.dat".
2. Put a copy of your new wallet ("wallet.dat") in the folder ./AppData/Roaming/Darkcoin/
3. Download the newest client on http://darkcoin.io/
4. Run it and let it update the blocks

I cant find this appdata file? im using windows 8

CHAOSiTEC and eduffield:

2 things, how does the dice game know I deposited to the generated account number?  Do I need to save that account number?

and when I just sent 1 dark to it, I WAS NOT asked for my passphrase!  Even so my wallet still shows it is encrypted!

also, I don't know if it just takes some time, but my deposit isn't pending or anything at the dice site but it does show it's been withdrawn in my wallet, I turned darksend off for this

Note, I'm using the beta wallet

yes, isn't that what I said?  I guess I said 'note' instead of 'comment', not good at lingo and not a programmer, LOL  From what I could tell of the updated question, I think that part confused them?  Maybe I misunderstood?

No user name

LOL, I sent you the transaction details, LOL

@CHAOSiTEC The balance doesn't display for me the new amount after each roll (I'm using Firefox).

Already sent that to you

Balance showed up, not sure if you did that?
