I never understood why 6 votes were needed. I think you could strip it out and award the coin mixing reward randomly and it'd still work. My two cents of course.

Do you really think, someone would come up with a rather complicated mechanism if it was actually as easy as random rewarding?
The crux is forcing miners by design to pay a provably random someone rather than themselves.

If you cannot control the voting of the 6 votes because it is random, then why can't you also force payment of a random reward?

I don't know anything more specific. Check the source.

Randomly paying yourself out of 500MNs once has a realistic probability (1:500) to actually happen. How would you tell if this was legit or manipulated?
Randomly voting for yourself 6 times in a row has a probability of 1:15,625,000,000,000,000 meaning it's practically impossible and easily spotted.

I read that there is no ability for pools to manually set or choose their own MN for the reward. So, the protocol itself can ensure random selection. I'm not saying there's no good reason for doing 6 votes, just that I don't understand the reason for it.

anyone here experience same problem ?  

No, but I think there may be something much more sinister behind all the "being hacked" stories.
I think they have been short selling against their customers and got squeezed.

Just a gut feeling, though.

Yes, I agree that being hacked IS something that an exchange cannot afford. They MUST take every single measure to be protected. Still, it's possible to happen for it's a business risk. Now the difference is: a good, serious exchange will never have this business risk affect it's clients lest loosing reputation. In the maket, no reputation means no deals.

I've never had a problem with them despite what everyone was saying, but I have just zeroed all my balances there. I had started their verification process because I wanted to trade DRK/USD if it is ever available. The response I've got is so lame that it almost feels like a joke:



BTW, they have lowered their withdrawal fee for DRK from 0.1 to a more reasonable 0.01.

Hi, Fernando.

I don't have any balance left there also (but only for about 235DOGE left that I have not been interested in withdrawing). So it's been quite a long time I don't visit Cryptsy.

I believe they really have to comply with some goverment rules and from your case it seems that governments, eager to implement their biometric scheme, are imposing that exchanges have their clients face scanned (please, notice that my intention here is not to FUD, but I'm afraid it cannot be avoided in this situation, because indeed, governments want to f#&k up with our privacy)

I think they are taking it too far. I'm verified in a few more and they have never asked for something like this. I agree this is about regulation they don't control, but I think they are making a weird interpretation of it.

From what I have seen in the community the hiro dev is a very very good coder who is a weapon at troubleshooting.

[fairglu]

Darkcoin blockchain explorer now has an indicator for the active & total masternodes.

Planning to make a master nodes page later on, got any suggestions for it? (suggest there or at Darkcointalk)

Anyone notice a marked increase in drooling vegetables droning on and on about the closed source despite it being explained over and over again?

I think this is more than just trying to spread FUD. I think there are copypastycats out there itching to get their filthy stinky paws on Darksend ASAP who think if their socks don't stop whingeing about it then Evan might just release it early to shut them up.

Fuck 'em I say. Keep your secrets till the Dark Has Risen & it's clear who the daddy is.

I've noticed this as well. I'm 100% sure those people complaining about closed-source, just want Darkcoin open sourced to copy it into their own coin. Look at all those darkcoin clones, I've been checking through their pages and I've seen many posts about wanting to implement Masternodes/Darksend once it's open sourced.

[TanteStefana2]

there are very big investors, millionaires - moving in and out of the coin to cause panic to everyone

I think the more reasonable explanation is that the coin was overdue a revaluation and that revaluation is now complete, so people are locking in their profits which is just the sensible thing to do.

Nothing to do with "trying to cause panic".

It's 1300% up on a few weeks ago. Is that not enough for you ?

Actually no    It's nowhere near enough.

Seriously, the coin is technically better than litecoin and if the market was information efficient, should've already replaced litecoin in terms of marketcap. Litecoin's key advantages over Btc were faster transaction times and decentralised mining.  

Drk does the same thing plus provides transaction privacy. IMHO (and I know this is controversial and some might hate me for saying this) I think the name is holding back the Drk. If it was called PrivacyCoin, I think the optics would have been much better. More of the media would've got behind it.

I agree that the name may put off some people/media, but it may have also attracted others, not necessarily because of reminiscences to dark markets. Anyway, probably too late to change it, so no point in discussing  

And it is great for memes and easy jokes! I would never invest in a coin without this feature  

I was worried about the name for a while, but now I quite like it.  Keep 'em in the dark, it aint their business!  The play against litecoin too.  It says what it does, are you afraid of the dark?  I'm not!

You don't remember the wave of nxt clones with their IPO scams?
There was such a wave a few months ago , it's time for a new one with darkclones

Exchange plan.

DarkEx . DEX

Lowest fee -> attract customers.

Fee income distribution; 33% on security, 33% use funds to buy up DRK, set up nodes - make it scarce, coldstorage, push value, 33% backup fund, giveaways, donations.

10% of all currencies brought in as fees, would bouce back from exchange funds to give further ensuring the investors, by creating daily buy walls. It is good for an actor to make a lot of money but at the moment it looks more like it is draining the market - They need to give back more. When I think about DarkEx I see community, future, fairness, strength.

Hiro is the #1 reason why X11 became the craze after Litecoin announced support for ASICs. He came up with Hircoin and thanked Evan profusely for the PoW and DGW (he had v1 back then). There was finally a "not Dark" version of x11 and people starting discovering it more and more because of him and his marketing. The only fundamental problem with HIRO is that he came up with 600m coins. Just too much ...

Glad to see him onboard

Could anyone please explain this forkfix stuff in laymen terms? How is it good if the blockchain cannot be forked again? Don`t you need those forks if you want to implement something new?

you have to differentiate between a software-fork and a blockchain-fork

those are to different things

yes Thank you for reminding me
I think I know maybe is too small

dark coin will soon reach to the moon as bitfinex has also add the market of drk with usd.

Looking forward to hurry up to the moon
We have been waiting too long for too long

i can not run darkcoind on ubuntu, i get that error :

Code:

DarkCoin server starting
Error: Unable to bind to 0.0.0.0:9999 on this computer. DarkCoin is probably already running.
Error: Failed to listen on any port. Use -listen=0 if you want this.

there is darkcoin.conf on .darkcoin folder like this :

Code:

daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
rpcuser=darkcoin1
rpcpassword=asdfxvczseasfadsf
rpcport=9333
rpcallowip=*.*.*.*

How can i fix this problem.

OK, i have said nothing before on this Thread , so those will be my first and last words.
I am German so please forgive me my bad english.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all i want to say this thread is pretty much fun to read, especialy the Picture postings  .
Trolls are super funny and FUD spreader are made mouthshut so fast,
that i can feel the strong communitybound here right back to my House. Applause for that on this line *clap,clap,clap*.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, lets get serious now. I want to mention my thoughts about the Price development of Darkcoin .

The technical Analyse ( very unaccurat!! Says nothing about longterm development):
______________________
The Price is clearly going down right now. After we tapped the 25 again huge numbers of holder with little DRK amounts dumped.
That was a cleary Profittake of those who bought low and Panicselling of those who bought weeks ago when price was at alltime high and missed to sell before crash.( i observed the market myself  for now 3 days. And everybody can see in the Tradehistory more whales bought since last 4 days than sold.)
And you know what people say about whales. They have a looong breath. ->>http://theweek.com/article/index/245674/why-whales-can-hold-their-breath-for-a-long-time-mdash-and-you-cant#axzz33fpotqbE
Soo the more price is falling the more there is resistance build up by new whales , Masternode setupper, and the previous Profittaker who settle up for another ride ...because hey they have nothing to lose.

So in a NUTSHELL alltime highs and alltime low are very strong resistance and they flip the trend very hard , so it always take several rebounds to break through them through. One of the reasons why i hold DRK is because... we reached the alltime high again after a week killer Dump that has to means something.

_______________________

The fundamental Analyse (good for longterm and more accurate if you just use facts):
.....................................
First of all Bitfinex. This exchange didnt even add Dogecoin although DOGE had a alltime Marketcap of 80million (DRK - ATH --> 68mill).
Dont want to say DOGE is a bad coin , also Shibes are very kind a community , much charity, very wow, such hype, how moon...but it over
and bitfinex knew its just another Named litecoin. Its scrypte its yellow thats what it is. We clearly see they think something else about DRK.
This is definitly a push for DRK in longterm PLUS its publicity PLUS it opens more money can flow in the Dark..

so 1+ for Bitfinex.

Cryptsy... dont ...just dont spread FUD pls. But yes YOU!! have to care about your deposit , this is recommendet for every echange no matter how good or bad reputation it has. If you care about your coin hold them on a Flash encrypted and implanted under your skin ( or just put it in your Safe ...cause you might get an infection and die..)

1+ for US being careful with our money and give a shhhh... on fiat money regulated by some hungry financial Elites...trust me i study economics and ingeneerscience , i know what Banks do they are mighty...they are Bad. For example Forexmarket (equivalent of cryptocoin market)
has a daily volum of 5trillion USD->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_exchange_market! Crypto-Market has only 100million , taking bitcoin as like 90% of it. Dude..we as cryptocoin nerds arnt even scratching the wealth of the world yet. That why no Wallstreet , London or Frankfurt Trade us yet...will change soon you will see .

Puh sorry... just get emotional a little.

Darkcoin - Litecoin :
First we have to leave NXT behind us.. but we will soon i think. We even over took it while it was Rising too.
I have made one year ago a corelation between cryptocoin price , time , diff. that looks like this->

Bitcoin the Mother (yes its a she) of Cryptocoins was implemented in 2009 since than it rises in price in a average of a factor 10 anualy,
while network diff went up by a factor of 100 anualy just few months before.

Litecoin always followed Bitcoin (recently it didnt because Darkcoin tookover tradevolume) it has a implementing gap of 2 years (2011)
still climbed up near to Bitcoin , it found a nice place on arround 0,025 BTC --> its 1/40 -> like "1" is one litecoin / "4" is a doublehalving for have a MAX Coin amount of 84million LTC (4 time more than Bitcoin) and  * "10^1" for beeing implemented 2 years later.
###############################################################################################
*hashtag* Darkcoin:
Darkcoin follows nobody because of the different blockreward system , masternode reward system and so on.
MAX amount in 2050+ -> 22million (nearly like bitcoin) but!! there are 3 times less DRK than BTC ( ~4million to ~12million).
Darkcoin opens new using opportunitys-> Darksend. Why it maybe could be used as the first real Substitude to Bitcoin with my estimated relative
price of -> 0,3 BTC if it takesover Litecoins Position and 3 BTC if it goes equal to Bitcoin because of being the DarkBitcoin which really
provides some anonyme Transaction which gives people some of their long forgotten Rights back. I dont know how it is in other coutries but in Germany we have the right to have the ability to separete our public and descrete life which is major indicator for freedom in a society, more and more we get rid of freedom by some ....organisations. And people are willing take it back and they will take Darkcoin!!

Benjamin Franklin said once:" A society which trade in freedom for safety, dont have any rights to call it self a democratie" #Patriots Act

_______________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________

Some words in the End:

I dont know the dev. team , neither if they are good nor if they are competent (pls somebody sum. me up something about them and their plans.).And yes, its true the core devs. of Bitcoin are getting huge support.
But pls stop talking about " Script was copy/pastet bla bla bla...everything is stolen bla bla bla" EVERY Coin is a copypaste and there some
core implementations which are just good enough to be used again. Thats why bitcoin is a TEST which every coin is.
So calm down People Darkcoin is in the core as good Bitcoin. Plus it has learing from Bitcoins failures in the past . Plus hey...it has
Darksend.

So yeah.. take a seat on the Couche , quote me if you agree with my thoughs , if not ignor...  but on the long run i say:

The Dark Knight is Rising. And not just him its the whole Cryptoscene have to rise , i wish we had a Socialnetwork in which we could organise our self localy, regionaly and nationaly to show the world who we are and what we want. Because i feel very lonely when i talk to my friends about cryptocurrencies and their are just looking at me like Coala bears. Thats why i puke all my thoughts on bitcointalk, thats why i think trolls
existig here, just scream out for some attention ...its just natural we are social animals ...sientificly proven ...sorry for that.


greetings,

Reavon
