Problem with this is the current BTC-DRK-fiat bottleneck. With merchant adoption, ie, when you can actually buy (more) stuff direct with crypto, then yes, paypal, WU etc. are well and truly screwed.

p2p darkmarkets with DRK as the currency of choice can and hopefully will do a lot for DRK. People will actually be able to use it.

Everybody hates ebay/paypal. Big opportunity there for DRK.

I can't sit still in my chair.... MasterNodes are going to be AWESOME!  Decentralized Auction site!  Yes!

I'll go ahead and re-post my submission, now re-purposed for the NYC Subway campaign.  I won't even demand royalties for using my likeness.

Ladies...

If that's not sexy I don't know what is.

Doge has their own nascar now fuuu.
Guys we need to sponsor something big

Doge's Nascar race did nothing to help the price..
If you want to advertising in that category(expensive), then having billboards for Darkcoin in Times Square would be great.

That looks perfect, especially since most people use phones and/or google, that should gauge their interest to find out what Darkcoin is after seeing that billboard. NYC alone has 9million people, with Manhattan/Times Square being the busiest area.

A ton of tourists mostly. As well as the people who work in the area. Also a ton of theater goers.  If you live in New York, you tend to stay far away from times square. (Disclaimer: Long time resident) Most immediate impact would be the media hoping all over it. This sort of happened with this Venmo ad they had running in the subway. It was a picture of a guy with VENMO and a small blurb.

It turned into a miserable fail, however, the media was all over it. The media also jumped all over the joey harrington ad in times square(former football player promoted by Oregon? for the Heisman trophy). I think this is the most logical next step, get the media horny.
(Disclosure: I

Even those ads in the train stations could work, millions of new yorkers,tourists, etc ride the trains everyday.

If we do it right. Venmo took those ads down as it did nothing for them or their brand. People were actually negatively affected by the ads. I agree that if we do get ads in the subway, millions would be reached, but it has to be done correctly. That is far beyond my scope. Beyond just people, the media can be a huge driving force. Think of all the reported 'viral marketing stories' that get reported. Staten Island creepy clown. Nathan for you and the starbucks stunt or the animal park one. Baby satan rolling around nyc, or even the fake murder in an elevator. While reaching people is awesome, if the media jumps on, it gets supercharged.

What would be ideal is if we could get CNBC talking about Darkcoin.  Even if it was just some joe behind the fastmoney team on the street with a large Darkcoin posterboard saying "DARKCOIN, send money to anyone in the world, instantly and privately."  Or "Screw Paypal!  Only Darkcoin can send money anywhere safely and privately, for free!"

Yea I like that, Darkcoin being a substitute for Paypal.

Been checking out this coin for a few days now, today I finally got convinced enough to put the rest of my btc (2.4btc) to dark. Hopefully it turns out well.

It will, but you will need to give it time. Don't expect to retire tomorrow from DRK.

hmmmm BC multipool swiched on DRK mining for a while?

With Diff 2194, to find a block with in 2.5 minutes, 62.86GH/s is needed.
Real nethash is 30 ~ 35GH/s.


Can't be BC....

Why there is virus warning for the wallet file? should it be clean.

It's a false positive, it also says that for Bitcoin qt wallet on my avast.

[philipmicklon]

This is a spinoff of stealth addresses called "Extended Addresses" https://medium.com/p/5ac1b5e01b6c

This gives extra privacy, without requiring the exchange of a nonce.

What if Evan implemented this in Darkcoin 2.0 and call them "Dark Addresses"?

This would allow for denomination of all outputs (including receiving addresses outputs).

A big step forward for good privacy.

but this one cant even get through Chrome download, i scan Multibit through virustotal and its clean. why?

[drkman]

Dude.  1000 pages in on the most innovative coin on Bitcointalk and you don't think we would all know if there was a virus in the wallet file!!??
Come on.

You must be brand new to crypto.

Extended address improve privacy in this way:

• Payee generates a BIP32 hardened branch for each payer. The payer can generate any amount of receiving addresses for the payee.
• When Payer wants to send a payment, he grabs X unspent outputs he owns, and generates X receiving addresses. He can then send a tx to Payer where all of his X outputs are spent "in parallel", avoiding merging them. This is great privacy for Payer.
• When Payee loads his wallet, it scans addresses for all the payer branches, until it finds a N-gap. A N-gap is a set of N contiguous unused addresses (addresses with no transactions). In this way, he can always be aware of all incoming payments, and who they correspond to.
• Because each payer knows only his/her own "payer branch", he can't see all the other transactions received by Payee.

Combined with Darksend & the potential of routing everything through masternodes this is unstoppable privacy.

I like the "extended addresses" idea, but I think Stealth Addresses have some advantage. If the nonce can be part of OP_RETURN its probably a better solution.

hi

can anyone provide a valid link to RC2 linux binary for pool owners? Previous download links doesn't work...
