Ok, wondering what the 'official' method for reporting software errors?  Do we post them on Github?  I have found 3 errors, 2 client and 1 masternode.

http://jira.darkcoin.qa/secure/Dashboard.jspa is the official place.

Create an issue there and the right people will find it.

more nodes than bitcoin (at the same stage of development)

One of the reasons DRK will win:

Keeping close to Bitcoin (the only thing Charlie Lee has ever said related to Litecoin that's worth anything) is one of the smartest moves in alt coin land.

That's alt-coins-101

Happy new year everybody.

QUESTION FOR THE NEW YEAR

When setting up a masternode, does the address you send the 1000 DRK to *have* to be "gettaccountaddress 0" ?

I did all my setup with the default receiving address generated by a brand new wallet - backed up the private key and all that, but now I realise when I do 'gettaccountaddress 0' it's not the same address. Do I have to send the 1000 DRK now to the 'gettaccountaddress 0' address or will it work fine with the default wallet address ?

[busterzzz]

Get your

Daily Dose Of DRK

with new Darkcoiner Bill Cassidy!

This may grow into a full fledged radio show, under a potential Get Into The Dark! media franchise (website, radio, video).

More info on that to come, for now, enjoy!

BTW, that wasn't the reason for my excitement yesterday, more on that to follow as well...

Hey thank you, this is me by the way. I appreciate the shoutout.

Happy New year to all the Darkcoin Peeps out there, the last 10 months have been amazing, I look forward to another great year in 2015.

Very awesome!!!  One critique, please don't take it bad, but numbers on "radio" oh my, I lost my concentration, LOL.  The first number for reporting, ok, but the others, made me lose track.  I'd stick to percentages only, LOL  Also, break it up, comment on the information.  It's different to listen to something verbally than to read it in a report   Otherwise excellent start!

Hey this is exactly the kind of feedback I am looking for, nothing taken bad here. I completely agree with you on the numbers, it's even hard speaking the numbers lol. I was using some basic statistics for darkcoin as an intro to the cast but I think Ill just narrow it down to the price of darkcoin. Regarding commenting I understand what you are saying, I just need to build my confidence and I think Ill start making comments on some of the pieces of information I report on. Thank you again for the feedback.

Happy new year everybody.

This is a quote taken from Taos Masternode Setup Guide for Dummies. The getaccountaddress 0  is where you send the 1k dark.

Enter the following command: "getaccountaddress 0" and press ENTER. This will generate your new Masternode's receiving address!

i dont think its necessary anymore, i still do it myself but since a few wallet updates ago its not mandatory anymore i think i read somewhere.
pls let someone confirm this..

Thanks. I've decided to ignore that advice and just use the first address that the wallet generated and displayed in 'receiving'. I've generated a masternode genkey and I'll just hope it all works out.

[qwizzie]

when sending those 1000 DRK for masternode setup do you guys always do Darksend mixing / darksending the 1K amount ?
Or do you just sent it straight up and do the mixing on a later time ? I can imagine you can always setup a mixing wallet later on..

No

Yes. I've got enough stuff to worry about and learn than trying to anonymise my coins as well LoL. So I tried to make it simple for myself.

[toknormal]

I tried to launch darkcoind and got this message:

EXCEPTION: N5boost12interprocess22interprocess_exceptionE      
No such file or directory      

Is this because I copied darkcoind into /usr/bin and didn't move some subdirectories that were needed ?

EDIT: Maybe it's something to do with ownership of the .darkcoin directory. I created it with a "sudo mkdir ~/.darkcoin" command while logged in as the operational user (not root).

thanks .. tbh i'm torn between waiting for the next update that should improve the Darksend mixing greatly but could take awhile (although i get the feeling 0.11.0.x is in the end-phase of getting released on Testnet) or just proceed with the setup and do the mixing on a later time.
If any of you need to do some mixing now would be a good time .. eh.. for me

edit : well .. Evan's post sure came handy for me   Will proceed with testing 0.11.0.x
edit : nice to see windows 64bit support for 0.11.0.x (for Testnet).. what does the darkcoin-cli.exe do exactly btw ?
update : got my answer on Darkcointalk forum

darkcoin-cli is the one used to talk to darkcoin rpc server.
using darkcoind to talk with the server is deprecated.

[toknormal]

EDIT: Maybe it's something to do with ownership of the .darkcoin directory. I created it with a "sudo mkdir ~/.darkcoin" command while logged in as the operational user (not root).

...that was it !

I deleted the ~/darkcoin directory, recreated it without using sudo and recreated the darkcoin.conf (also without using sudo). Now darkcoind starts.

Seems you have to be consistent with privilages so I assume if I'm going to run the masternode under a certain user I also need to have that user create and own the .darkcoin directory.

This is progress ! I might even learn some Linux here for the first time in my life.

[snogcel]

Huge release! Just look at these release notes...........

https://github.com/vertoe/darkcoil/blob/devel-0.9/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.11.0.md

[toknormal]

Done !

toknormal MN-01 up and running. Many thanks to all for their useful tips and advice !



Local mode done using the Mac DarkcoinQT wallet and darkcoin.conf located in home/Library/Application Support/Darkcoin/darkcoin.conf

This is my second attempt at it. The first time (months ago) I just followed El Presidente's guide monkey-see-monkey-do style but didn't really understand what I was doing. This time I tried to understand it more (I took the old one down).

Here's my 'tokormal masternode setup principles' incase it helps anyone else (use in conjunction with the other guides which are much more detailed on specific steps). If people want to add corrections and augmentations please feel free.

********* Remote ********

[1] - set up a linux server and secure it by:

 - closing all ports except 22 for SSH and 9999 for full access
 - create a 'login user' using sudo useradd <username> -s /bin/bash -g sudo -m
 - set its password using passwd < username >

[2] - while logged in as the 'login user' (not root) create a new directory: mkdir ~/.darkcoin

[3] - create a darkcoin.conf in that directory with a masternode key generated from your local wallet

[4] - download darkcoind with "wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin-binaries/master/darkcoin-0.10.17.24-linux.tar.gz"

[5] - expand it with "tar xfvz darkcoin-0.10.17.24-linux.tar.gz"

[6] - drill down the expanded directories and locate darkcoind in /64. Put it wherever you want (I put it in /usr/bin but some people sy don't bother). Run "chmod +x darkcoind" on it

[7] - call darkcoind and start up the daemon. (Use darkcoind getinfo to check when it's finished downloading the blockchain)

********** Local ************

[1] - create a new wallet. Encrypt it. Note the receiving address.

[2] - use 'dumpprivkey <address>' to make a paper backup of the wallet

[3] - use "masternode genkey" to generate a masternode privkey (To be used in darkcoin.conf at step 3 of the remote setup above)
 
[4] - send 1000 DRK to that address

[5] - from the command line (or 'Debug' window on Mac) in the local wallet call "masternode start "PASSWORD"

...thats it !

Never to late to learn Linux. My first Linux distro was redhat 9 shrike back in 2003 and I fell in love with Linux. I've still never mastered Linux as I switch back an forth between windows and Linux for certain things. I have been running Manjaro as my dedicated desktop now for 6 months and so far Im enjoying the switch. Linux is finally at a point where it's caught up with Microsoft. I still have my minibg rigs on windows because it's just way easier but I'd like to change that in the future.
    I hope you find Linux as enjoyable as I have through the years and goodluck!

I even use a vanity address and importprivkey..
