I got lucky

Looks like you got lucky this time, was bittrex not bitfinex

 What does luck have to do with setting the record straight?

 By the way, Bittrex added Darkcoin on March 11th 2014. So again, your innuendo is blatant FUD in a costume.

No,

You have to click the "Start Darksend Mixing" when you have some coins in your wallet. This will anonymized your coins, and then they will be ready to send when ever you want.

So people can send me dash (whether their dash has already passed "mixed" process or not -- it doesn't matter),
and after i received their dash, i click the "Start darksend mixing", the mixing process done, and all of my dash become anonymous, and i can spend my dash?

Awesome. Thank you. 

Yes, is ahead of time mixing so is not transaction based privacy, you decide how much money you want to keep on your private balance and the level of privacy you want to have and then the wallet mixes the coins for you up to 16 rounds, and then your private balance is there ready for you to spend at any time, without you having to wait for peers or remix you just send them directly as any Bitcoin transaction. It is really cool because it provides a high level of privacy while keeping the same mechanics we are used to with BTC.

 Plus, one can always de-anonymize their own coins instantly (IX) by sending them to themselves if they want to.

Exactly, you got it  You can sent normal DASH (not anonymized, ie: without darksend) or anonymized DASH, you have to darksend them before.

Check my first post I edit it with a link for more information.

Thank you for the guide.

chart are beautiful

Very good time to buy in Imo

guys in last couple of days im getting error when sending via instantx

Status: 1/confirmed (InstantX verification failed), broadcast through 22 node(s)

every time, what the hell

could be the masternode network thats still updating from .22 (48.2%) to .23 (50.7%)
could be the venom bug that forced some server providers to update their platform, which lead to some server instances needing restarting, which lead to some lower masternode numbers right now (at least i assume thats causing it)
could be something totally diffferent

One time I had a wallet wich had the same problem all the time. Darksend simply didnt work! Tried another wallet then -> no problems. But I dont know what caused it.

No. I was mistaken in thinking bitfinex had said they used darkcoil, when in fact it was bittrex. It's an easy thing to do. You were correct in so far that I was wrong, but it was not due to your own merits nor any of the reasons you stated. Thus, the "luck".

[GhostPlayer]

 Luck? Merits?  Is there prize in the end? What is your point exactly? I'm not following.

Ok fella's...take it out back!  No scarping in the living room.

Where can I read about the "Brick & Mortar DASH Merchant"?

Any easy to follow tutorial on how to set up a merchant or escrow webpage with DASH? I would like to set up something for Steam community items.

awesome, i wonder if we can start masternode with this too ?  would be great if we were traveling and  want to start masternode which is upgraded or something. ?

EDIT : or maybe just info about the masternode active or not ? 

I have got a version that I use myself that uses SSH to send commands to the server. I can get all info and vote, etc. It's a bit buggy though and it needs your SSH login details, so wasn't sure people would really use it.

[calnaughtonjnr]

When will you have iOS version?

Not certain yet, but will do my best before end of summer. Still trying to learn XCode.

I think it would be best if any software like that were open source, and to be honest the masternode checker too, or is it already? I don't want to take anything away from your work, but I think the need to trust should be reduced when possible. What do you think about setting a target of Dash donations to publish the source code? I would be more than willing to contribute.

[spatula]

So I setup the masternode.conf file so that I could vote with my masternodes without turning on my cold wallets and that worked great. If I can authorize a "vote-many" command with the masternode.conf file (and no cold wallets) why cant the same setup work for the "start-many" command?

start-many signs the actual 1000DRK keys, which then authorizes a secondary key for the masternodes to communicate with. When you use vote many, it's signing messages with that secondary key, so you don't need access to the cold wallet.

Is that secondary key the "masternodeprivkey" value? If so, once it has been created, could it not also be used to authorize the the masternode running on the network? This would allow me to keep my cold wallet, cold.

I don't know if I ever saw a response to this, but because of the "venom" exploit update (and reboot of all my VPSs) I have to once again bring my cold wallets online to restart my masternodes. Is there a plan in the future to implement something like this?

If I was to make and release an app that managed MNs and connected and communicated at that level, yeh, I agree that open source would be essential really.

As for the alert app, as it is, it only reads publicly available data using an address you give it. Not a lot of point. Plus, everyone would then see how terrible my development skills are

Wow,  7219 buy order on Cryptsy, I took a screenshot:





Someone wants 7 masternodes?

This will probably just feed the trolls but how it actually went down was there was a few edge cases inside the code that caused it (the QT wallet) to perform horribly with any wallet using a large number of tx's (which exchanges and miners have occasionally). Those wallets would go crazy and peg cpu and ram limits. It was at this time that Bittrex (not Bitfinex) started adding Dash (at the time Dark). Since the core wallet was bugging out they opted for the Darkcoil wallet that was from my recollection was the basis of the code being re-written to be a direct descendant of Bitcoin and dropping the Litecoin source tree. These bugs have since been squashed at to my knowledge now all major exchanges are running the code 0.11.2.X code base with the dash rebrand, minus mn blinding, minus the latest decentralized voting system.

TLDR: bugs with large wallets cause Bittrex to use Darkcoil, bug has since been fixed and all major exchanges are using core qt.

[coins101]

I think we all should calm down a bit and give bitfinex some time. I definitely wouldn't like to lose them just because we are pushing too hard and they have some reasonable issues adapting everything fast.

This was announced to users and services a few days ago to give them time to prepare, but expect some coexistence of both brands for some time while everyone adapts.

I disagree. They said they are not changing. Period.

If they had said "give us more time" then fine. But they didn't.

I know this might rub you up the wrong way, its not meant to.



This is one of the biggest BTC exchanges and a great route into China.  All that liquidity sitting there waiting to be deployed your way once DASH starts hitting its stride.

They seem to have some legit reasons for not making any changes. The DASH foundation needs to work with them to find a solution.

Yep, have seen that wall as well
As someone mentioned - looks like somebody wants a 7x master node
