two of the main pools knocked out within 24 hrs. Hmmm.
drkpool website ok, no pool
coinmine website down, no pool
Might just be issues preparing for the upcoming fork. There is currently 30GH online, only about 2 GH is p2pool, so there are working pools out there... Recent small price decline is just serious investors shaking the lightweights out. |

Just thinking... as the blockchain will grow up forever, is it possible in the future that only the masternodes will have and keep it if we have more than 1-2000 of them?
don't understand the question, but masternodes get awarded a set number of coins from block rewards - not all the block rewards Sorry for my English  I was asking for the possibility in the future that not every user will need the blockchain on his machine. I was asking if it can be implemented in protocol that only masternodes will keep the blockchain. it is possible that not every user stores the whole blockchain. All they need is a "snapshot" (e.g. "one week ago") they trust. So it is up to you if you trust the snapshot-maker enough or if you want to store it yourself. The pools on the other hand should use the whole blockchain to make "legitimate" transactions, and the masternodes as well. The dev has already said I believe that masternodes holding the blockchain is part of the plan. |

I might sell a few when the price hits $300/DRK
thats the difference. i would NEVER hold USD. i´d rather trust BC or Anoncoin or whatever than USD.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it readily. Can one setup more than one masternode on the same VM server? Or does each masternode require a separate VM?
Thanks!

The dev has already said I believe that masternodes holding the blockchain is part of the plan. I also requested that masternodes holding the blockchain be implemented as MANDATORY for every supernode, but to the best of my understanding it is not, and I haven't seen any reference to this by the devs... so currently, it is still an un-answered question imho. As for its use for thin-wallets like Electrum - obviously it is possible, and i strongly believe we will get there. In regards to it centralizing the network - i see it as negligible. This is especially if we will have 1,000 different supernodes to with the wallets will connect via i2p + we have a funishment scheme for supernodes misbehavior. |

You guys know you can set up as many failovers as you like right?
If you prefer pools to p2p that's fine, but have a p2pool failover (or two) as well, it's better than having your rig idle!
This is what I was thinking as well. I already had two pools but I am going to add 2 p2pool now. If you like p2pool, list them first with pools as failover. Like pools? List them first with p2pools as failover. |

Ok... scratching my head here... who the f*ck is "unknown" ? I see Suchpool, Coinmine and Official. Coinmine and Official went down to 0%... so could it be either them through a foldback un-named gateway? DRK hashrate has gone up to to 26GH

if darkcoind gethashespersec is greater than sum of pool hash, unknown = gethashespersec - sum of pool hash Coinmine web is down, stratum is working. |

http://wiki.darkcoin.eu/wiki/Dark_Gravity_WaveDGW or Dark Gravity Wave is an open source difficulty-adjusting algorithm for Bitcoin-based cryptocurrencies that was first used in Darkcoin and has been adopted by other digital currencies.
DGW was authored by Evan Duffield, the developer and creator of Darkcoin, as a response to a time-warp exploit found in Kimoto's Gravity Well while also trying to improve upon the way that difficulty retargeting is being calculated.
In concept, DGW is similar to Kimoto Gravity Well, adjusting the difficulty levels every block (instead of every hundreds of thousands of blocks like Bitcoin) by using statistical data of the last blocks found. In this way block issuing times can remain consistent, despite high fluctuations in hashpower.
Version 2.0 of DGW was implemented in Darkcoin from block 45.000 onwards in order to completely alleviate the time-warp exploit. Version 3.0 of DGW was presented in RC2 of DarkSend to fix issues with various architectures.
Several alt-coins have adopted DGW in order to prevent the time-warp KGW exploit

HI,
Update on drk.coinmine.pl pool: we were ddosed several times during last few hours (someone was pissed...), and right now pools are working, but websites are offline. We are working on bringing them back, but as I said backend is fully functional now (finding blocks, payouts, etc).

Several alt-coins have adopted DGW in order to prevent the time-warp KGW exploit I understand that, but if an unknown entity gains 51% of the network it is dangerous whether they go with time warp or some other exploit. I only linked the article to say that other coins have been attacked recently. |

I was asking if it can be implemented in protocol that only masternodes will keep the blockchain. Maybe someday "light wallet" may come out but it will lower the decentralized structure  Actually, we've been talking about this. The beauty of this is that it wouldn't loose the decentralized structure if we have a great decentralized MasterNode network. Unlike Bitcoin or other coins, having a lite wallet could become the norm, while also having the blockchain decentralized. We can have our cake and eat it too with Darkcoin!! |
