Call out to the Darkcoin regulars for some help with the latest draft media release: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rc2-media-release.662/

EDIT: Not sure if I have the development schedule correct. Could someone check over it?

I'm not cool enough to post on that thread .

My suggestions:

Edit: "In return for providing this service," in paragraph 2 (or p3 if you count the headline) should be "In return for providing these services,"

Me neither.

I assume the 100DRK limit will also be lifted at some point - perhaps mention should be made of that?

Perhaps here: "Following the completion of RC3, experts will be engaged to inspect the DarkSend code and, once confirmed, DarkSend will become open source and the 1000 DRK limit will be removed." - or words to that effect, assuming my assumption is correct.

the 1000 limit will probably not be removed ever

Dev has been quite explicit about not removing the limit. The idea of the 1000 DRK is that it has to be expensive to have a masternode. They are important for the network and everybody running one should take it very seriously.

I was talking about the limit on transaction size, nothing to do with masternodes. Only being able to darksend 1000 DRK at a time... why? Seems like a pointless restriction that will turn off a lot of potential users. In fact it would make DRK basically useless for exactly the kind of investors and users we need most.

I'm sorry, I missread it

As for the limit, you can always make a lot of 1000 transactions. It is not optimal, but it is not that bad.

Are you kidding? Big money is going to see that and laugh at us. Unless there is some insurmountable technical reason, it should go, ASAP.

I'm not familiar with the particulars of the Darksend implementation, but I'm guessing that it has to do with the following:

It seems that since the Masternodes themselves are only guaranteed to have 1000 DRK in their possession, and given that transactions are supposed to be anonymized by the mixing, a 1000 DRK limit would seem to be prudent for anyone who really cares about that transaction actually being anonymous.  Otherwise it would be too easy to just follow the big inputs and outputs.  If somebody is sending 10k DRK in one transaction, it will stick out like a sore thumb because it's unlikely that the Masternode would have 10k other coins to mix in the same transaction group.  Like if I'm sending 10k DRK from Address A to Address B, and those 10k DRK are mixed with 1.5k DRK from other transactions, then at minimum I will have 7.5k DRK being directly traceable from Address A to Address B (the other 2.5k being 1k from the Masternode's holdings, and 1.5k from the other transactions).

If you're actually concerned about anonymity, it would be far more prudent to break up the transaction into as many sub-1000 DRK transactions as needed, and send them all to separate receiving addresses.

In fact any DRK fanatics willing to point an amateur trader to the best place to learn quasi-profitable trading. Which MACD time do you guys look at?

trade a different coin, it's easier!  I'm glad I made my mistake a few weeks ago, it only cost me 80 bucks to get back to where I was.  Today, omg, don't want to think about it!

The DRK chart has turned itself into a hedge trimmer.

ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZz... up and down.....1422.1421...1422.1421...1422.1421...1422.1421...

I could trim my hedge with it.

Buyers are sitting there like a nest of baby starlings with their mouths gaping wide open trying to catch 3 and 4 DRK dripping out of mummy order book.

Maybe one of the sellers will get the willies and let go a few chunks of meat. That will set off a dump which will instantly turn the baby starlings into a pack of bloodhounds and then we might get some action.

"And given the network’s P2P nature, it is almost impossible to shut down. There is no central server that can be shut off since DarkWallet’s features are decentralized and its anonymous users i.e. nodes are spread out across the globe. "

Author is seriously confused.

[toknormal]

....well there goes one of the chunks of meat.

But one of the nest got greedy and now say they want 3239 DRK instead of just 5. Not very polite, so that brought a swift end to feeding time and the bloodhounds are now de-cloaked.

Yes, but I think they mix darks and confuse darkwallet with darksend near the end.

[toknormal]

Everybody's scared of that big row of 1's.

Seems quite an effective tactic. Is that someone trying to stop the price from going up ?

[HiddenDark]

I'm having a problem with the wallet (0.10.7.4).

I have downloaded it twice today and after starting both times it didn't connect to the network. I replaced the peers.dat file with one from a thread on darkcointalk.org and I connected and synced both times.

Now I have a different issue (could be related) in that I can't open the wallet. Both times after having the wallet closed for a period of time upon reopening (from the task bar) I get the message "The item 'Darkcoin-qt.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly."

Any idea why this keeps happening?

[Freckleg]

This has been asked before...

I am on mac wallet 9.3.3 but transaction stuck with question mark. What should I do?

thanks

how you can compare DRK volume with BTC volume when the exchange is BTC/DRK.

Because BTC is measured against Fiat.
And Dark is measured against BTC, that can then be measured against Fiat.
That's how you can compare.

[HiddenDark]

I just realized I've been awake for 22 hour, and I've been watching DRK almost the entire time.

yes, so every altcoin volume is also BTC volume. still there is no coin witch can be compared with BTC.
