Just a question, DRK come from 0.60$ to 1.60$ with the RC of the DarkSend.
With a final DarkSend and a good adoption of the Dark, what is the price you predict ?

Place your bet now, I'll post the result in a week.
https://fr.surveymonkey.com/s/5P2NF3G

We will see if we made a good prediction in 3 months !

Already 40+ Votes, It's funny to see how the DRK community see the price evolution.
Don't forget to vote, I'll post results later when I have more votes

I very curious have to admit

I'm wondering, if the  darksend code is opensource, so another coin can implements it and DarkCoin will loose some value because it will not be the only one providing the feature ?
Or I'm wrong ?

correct
but doesn't mean drk will lose value necessarily

Of course not, Dark is too far ahead now for a simple clone to succeed. By the time the code is open sourced Masternodes will be worth like 5000$ each. A simple clone will have trouble following the same smooth development path that Darkcoin has had.

Just one word for this whole project... Outstanding!!!

You got all my rigs now...

I'm throwing in 50 DRK bounty for anyone able to patch this p2pool code to work with darkcoin masternode payments (rc2) after may 14th hardfork.
https://github.com/chaeplin/p2pool-drk/issues/4

Anyone else want to add DRK to this bounty? Without p2pool darkcoin would lose a major part of decentralization!

Sent my bounty to bountysource - join me and support p2pool with your bounty!

Please explain what ya'all are talking about to us non-coders??? LOL

This is basically a Darkcoin client "code" that helps it identify other Darkcoin clients. Before it was using Litecoin's which was giving people all those wallet syncing errors because their clients were communicating with Litecoin and others. Evan just flipped the order on all the bytes.

It's a bit like using http://0xc0.0x40.0x51.0x6a (Hexadecimal IP) to resolve http://darkproxy.net   

lol i never knew you can use hex ips

Did anyone notice that Vault of Satoshi added DRK fiat and alt-to-drk exchanges?



https://www.vaultofsatoshi.com/orderbook

Anyone know what's the exact process for the USA located to get setup on Vaultofsatoshi and send them USD?  Verifications......wait times etc...

US can't use dollars to buy crypto there IIRC. Strictly crypto:crypto.

All, the hardfork will break p2pool code. There is currently a bounty of

300DRK + US$100

to update the p2pool code. MPOS was already patched and NOMP was patched today.

If you cannot personally program, spread the word. I am working to get this on the Darkcoin twitter feed and at that time it can be retweeted.

Bounty info -> https://darkcointalk.org/threads/developement-work-for-p2pool-and-nomp-stratum-patch.360/

Old p2pool code -> https://github.com/chaeplin/p2pool-drk/issues/4

Updated MPOS Stratum code -> https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin-stratum

Whatever happened to the "darkroad" guy? (the silkroad alternative with darkcoin)

He went Dark... Nobody can find him now...

Do we want to setup a bounty for an already hardened PIMP or BAMT masternode image that only needs the user to do the last few config steps?  

Let's not forget, all the POS coins are doing very well and the more people that can setup masternodes, the more Dark is removed from the money supply and the the higher the price will go for everyone.  If Masternodes stay only for the highly technically inclined, then its effect on removing supply will stay negligible.

Hmmm this is not true : 10% of the block rewards will go to all the MasterNode payment, this don't change if there is 10 or 1000 MS.
What change is the earning of the MN : the more MN the less each one will earn.

Yeah. Kind of cool isn't it. This is the stuff that gets forgotten about.

The following will work as well, although not with all browsers...

http://3225440618 - Decimal IP's

http://0xc040516a - Hexadecimal IP's

http://0xc0.0x40.0x51.0x6a - technically a dotted Hexadecimal IP

http://0300.0100.0121.0152 - dotted Octal IP's

You can add loads of 0's to dotted Octal IP quads, for example;

http://000000300.00000000000100.0000121.0000000152

It's also possible to mix and match the correctly ordered quads of dotted hexadecimal and dotted octal IP's

http://0300.0x40.0x51.0152  or  http://0xc0.0100.0121.0x6a

You can also try adding 'fake' authentication to help bypass web filters etc. For example,

http://darkcoinstodamoon@0300.0100.0x51.0x6a - (no I'm not trying to trick you), basically everything before the @ symbol is ignored.

~ Always check that the static IP address has not changed - or you might end up 'pinging' the pentagon or something!

You are answering a different question.  Of course the profit per node is less for the operator but for the health of the network and the health of the price of the coin, the more masternodes the better because it is a direct removal of coins from the money supply and also a direct demand modifier which causes the price to move higher and higher.  POS coins work similarly by encouraging users 1. not to sell their coins and 2. Buy more coins and hold them so they can earn interest on those funds.

The easier it is to setup and run a masternode, the more Darks that will be bought and held and EVERYONE OF US benefits (including those who are running the nodes) because the price of 1 Dark will be higher and more stable.

Speaking of "apart from Amazon"...  I would be interested to know what percentage of the 50-odd masternodes are there right now.  It'd be easy for them to shut them all down on a whim.

Right now, 30 of 55 are running on Amazon. Hence my desire to run my intended others elsewhere.

Most masternodes are there right now because there is a detailed guide with screenshots on how to set it up. If some of the members of the community create additional guides on how to set it up in other places, people will be happy to move them. So if any of you guys could write a guide for some other options, please go ahead and do it.

www.earnforex.com/forex-vps-hosting/ has a useful list of forex vps hosting companies, which you would hope have reliable up-time and reasonable 'default' security, although the focus is mostly on windows for use with the MT4 platform. Lower prices though.

bosonvps.com has very cheap linux servers which are reseller packages for privatelayer.com - for the Switzerland hosted option. I've had very mixed success with bosonvps though, although privatelayer.com itself is OK.

Best bet is to track reseller packages to the source and check the T's and C's, although all non-us VPS are still much more costly.

Their is a good list of Tor friendly VPS servers somewhere on the web.

Another option (perhaps the best choice imho) would be to host the node on a home server and ask your existing provider for a 2nd static IP address for a game server or something, then exit that through a good VPN provider perhaps. Their is a lot to be said for owning and having access to the physical equipment for your master node.

If I find a good option or two I'll post them up, but it certainly makes no sense for everyone to be using the same cloud resources.
