It seems some of the Silk Road users are just putting their coins on an exchange, buying DRK to then anonymize, then buying back BTC.    

Do they not think an exchange can be subpoenaed? The won't have to speculate and solve a blockchain, they can just say "give us the records or be shit down" and what do you think the exchange is going to do?

Can't fix stupid. There is no point in talking to these people. They think they already know everything. Let them learn the hard way.

OR at the least, why pay exchange fees twice when you can just buy the DRK and use it instead of.... Oh nevermind, why do I bother...

Frankly, adoption is premature... There will be complaining and trolling as development continues and new features upset the apple cart now and again...

Camosel, the process is actually longer than that... if you read the posts, the dealers are:

1) Acquiring Bitcoin
2) Sending the Bitcoin that they want "laundered" to an exchange
3) Exchanging Bitcoin for Darkcoin using an anonymous account that doesn't link to them
4) Sending the Darkcoin to a local DRK wallet for anonymization
5) Sending anonymized Darkcoin to a different exchange
6) Exchanging the Darkcoin for either Bitcoin or fiat that now cannot be traced.

In this way, the source of the funds is not clear to the second exchange and there is no way for them to link it back to the marketplace. And it costs them about 1% in exchange fees and transaction fees (vs. 2-3% for a tumbler service which is less secure anyway). So even if both exchanges were subpoenaed, law enforcement wouldn't be able to link the transactions. Pretty smart workaround if the exchange won't support DRK if you ask me. They still need to explain where they got all the money from if they are doing this in high volumes of course, but that's something they have to deal with on Bitcoin anyway. This just makes the anonymization easier and less costly.

v0.10.15.15 - Onyx Masternode Stability Update

There have been some masternode stability problems (masternodes not staying active on the network) for some users, this was caused by the masternode operators changing the masternodeprivkey and then starting the masternode again. This lead to some of the networking have one pinging key and parts of the network having another. This update fixes that issue and will allow masternodes to change that key. Because of this issue clients were flagging peers as misbehaving, eventually leading to them being banned, causing network fragmentation, which lead to other issues on the network.
 
An alternative solution is to move the 1000DRK input to a brand new address that the network has not seen. Then start the masternode normally.  Once the network updates to v15.15, we won't have these issues anymore.

Enforcement:

At block 158,000 masternode rewards will jump to 25%, if more than 80% of the network is updating and paying the correct rewards enforcement will be activated then. From the looks of it, we're very close to those numbers already.  Once enforcement is active, payments will be completely 100% fair and equal between all masternodes.

So the network instability - MNs getting disconnected, missing payments, wrong payments... that was caused by MN operators changing masternodeprivkey keys?

Edit: I thought we were awaiting enforcement to be the fix for these issues

For some masternodes it was caused by these invalid messages propagating around the network. However, missed payments and wrong payments will be fixed by enforcement. In a few days the system will be humming.

There's nothing wrong with the Darkcoin price.

It's the Marketcap and DRK / BTC ratio you want to worry about, not the dollar value - it's a meaningless metric (MM).

Darkcoin has compressed to around 1/5 of it's all time high, but it was only there for a few hours. Bitcoin sustained a couple of weeks above $1100 and then compressed ultimately to $275 - a factor of 4 to 5.

If you look at market cap,the rankings shelf off sharply right after DRK. The next classification (currently held by Monero) only has  a third to a half of DRK's market cap.

So the question is not what's the price doing, it's how to consolidate the position and in that regard the prevailing discussions about masternode vs mining revenue, status of pools, algo options are absolutely topical. This is just another crossroads to be negotiated on the long road to adoption and capitalisation.

It's imperative that good and sustainable solutions be found to all these things.

Look at NxT. Who'd have thought that it could have sustained a 6000 Sat valuation 10 months after it was pumped and dumped. I wouldn't have and I'm an investor. The reason it's managed it is because they've got a ton of stuff going on and their ecosystem is going. Similarly, ever technical or commercial hurdle that Darkcoin gets past is another hurdle for any competitor to add to their challenges.

Except it will be twice as hard for them because with DRK having blazed the trail, investors can then see how far they've got to go. We need to keep up the pressure on consolidating the integrity and performance of Darkcoin infrastructure while at the same time pushing on all open doors that come our way in the commercial realm.

Very well said mate, Darkcoin is only just getting started, this is still crazy early adoption... Buy... Hold...Shut The Fuck Up...

I quite like the messy periods, teaches us a lot not only about the network but community behaviour as well...

I like them too wanna know why? I`m starting to completing my next MN lol 5,35btc for a MN shock!
BTW. WTS 2 PSU OCZ 750W 80+ someone interested? EU only DRK only

Hey guys what do you think the future of Darkcoin is in, say, a year or two. Will there ever be another bubble? The previous one was so huge I'm pretty sure it has depleted the lifeforce of DRK.

I guess you're hoping for a "bubble" so to sell your coins 

bla bla

I hold on my Darkcoins only as a statement, not as an investment anymore.

Gooood, just keep your coin in your wallet. That will make the price rise and rise. And that's what we want.

More master nodes + guys like you + guys like us buying = moon price (second bubble).

Just read this, may have been posted here before but seemed like a good analysis to me...

Sipped 200 more DRK today...

I brought another MN online this afternoon and got all mine updated to 10.15.16. Currently helping darksend for pairs again, 8 rounds for those that are having issues finding 3 parties.

0.10.15.14 .. masternode count 733

I updated to your version, and now it shows 720

Now I started a 500 DRK 2 Round mix at 04:00 PM, I will check how long it takes.

It would be better if you could hold off until Friday.... we're trying to help out those who have large wallets they want to mix.??

Friday is all fine and dandy but there should be people willing to do it the remaining days as well. I am.

I put a few hundred up today too for 4 rounds, took about 5 hours. I will do more on Friday as well.

nice1! I dont got any time to write a script, but if no one else does, i will do sooner or later

If you do, I will leave it running. Basically I want the full anon balance to go to a fresh address inside the wallet and then loop the process 8 rounds again.

Hey guys what do you think the future of Darkcoin is in, say, a year or two. Will there ever be another bubble? The previous one was so huge I'm pretty sure it has depleted the lifeforce of DRK.

I guess you're hoping for a "bubble" so to sell your coins  

The only problem I see with the Darkcoin at this moment in time is a lack of direction in its philosophy. Is it going to be a subversive element, a part of the shadow economy (20% of the world's economy is the shadow economy) or a tool for us to start building a new society free of oppression and tyranny or is it going to strive to become a mainstream coin in the vein of Bitcoin? Options are many but our plans, our direction, our philosophy are not. Thusly, we do not generate enough enthusiasm in the wider community of crypto enthusiasts; what is left seems to be only a bunch of nerds getting it and having some fun doing it, but no many others.

The technology involved points toward privacy as the Darkcoin key feature. Alas, the pan-fascists in power, in almost all the countries in the world, are leaping toward totalitarianism where no (real) privacy or (real) freedom would be possible, turning us all into its subjects. (i.e. we're not active participants in democracy anymore, having only sham crumbs of democracy given to us, like sham elections that appear to be free while are, in fact, predestined by the overlords well before we go to the voting booths) As the system's subjects we need to be surveilled all the time and controlled by all means. (food, water, taxes, militarized police, Goebbels TV omnipresence, endless wars that frighten us all the time, STASI like cancer of if you see something say something nonsense...) We are, as nations, getting tired and less prone to revolt for we do not see any chance of succeeding or (really) changing anything.

If nothing CLEAR is offered to us we accept status quo as the way of life and shrug the hope, and much more importantly, we shrug the fight off. Embracing Darkcoin at this juncture is almost an act of civil disobedience in the society that is comprised almost entirely of obedient servants of the system.

For these reasons, I lost all faith in humanity - or at least in this generation - that would need to open its eyes so the parallel, better world, with crypto in it, could be build. Alas, they have their iPhone4, nope iPhone5, nope iPhone6 and a new cool app to distract them from the reality. "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." - said Goethe.

I hold on my Darkcoins only as a statement, not as an investment anymore.

Why can't we do all 3?  The dollar does all 3.  Those of us who don't condone breaking the law may also not want those laws either.  Actually, the philosophy of DRK has always been privacy.  The type of privacy you get with cash.  It's a hell of a lot harder to accomplish with a traceable internet coin than a piece of paper the feds print out.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.  We may have to take up arms against our government eventually, if our system of peaceful revolution (via elections) doesn't set things right.  It is becoming a very difficult task indeed.  People in power will not easily give up their milk teat on the system.  Government only grows, never really shrinks.  What kind of hero we would need to actually get it to shrink!  I don't think such a hero exists

My first (albeit co-owned) masternode up, big thanks to Mangled Blue and Flare 

[anonymousxx1503]

Would it be dumb to use 3 Masternodes worth of Darkcoin to mix amongst themselves before creating masternodes? Put 1000 DRK in three separate wallets, open on 3 PCs and let them mix with the rest of the network, I imagine that it would go quite a bit faster? Maybe an exercise in futility.
