DRK overtaking LTC now

It's normal the Darkcoin is better ;-) X11, DGW, Darksend, InstantX, Masternodes
What's the innovation of Litecoin ?
Nothing

I had been having enormous trouble mixing up until v11. With v11 mixing has been incredibly fast, I am extremely pleased as an investor but would also be happy even if I was trying to only use the service and move on. I did have some issues with it getting stuck and have to -zapwallettxes, and one evening i was in a loop of getting hit for .1s for a bit. But to be honest I really do not care about those at the moment because mixing is lightning fast, finally. I think that guy is confused and I am confident the other two hangups will get taken care of pretty quick. Really nice job devs.

I'm in the same boat. I had also had quite a lot of trouble mixing prior to v11 and have experienced similar problems with v11. Closing and opening the client seems to work wonders sometimes! When it does get on with the mixing it seems to do so fairly quickly now. There are still a few minor problems to be ironed out to achieve consistent results though.

2. It would be great if mixing was ON, always, with fully mixed wallets continuing to act as mixing liquidity providers.

I realise that it's early days and that multiple design options have to be tried out, but to an end user (regular Joe coin holder) "number of rounds" is meaningless. How am I supposed to know what the difference between, say, 4 rounds and 16 is ?

There should be 2 settings:

[1] - Privacy (I don't want my transactions visible in the public domain)

[2] - Obscurity (I don't want the NSA ever to find me and my life depends on it)

Further, IMO, setting [1] should be the default for ALL WALLETS. i.e. level playing field. If you're in Darkcoin, then everything's private, the whole damn lot, otherwise why would you be here.

The reason I suggest that is, imagine if your bank offered you a "transparent" option on your account where your transactions were visible in the public domain. You'd tell them to take a run and jump. It's unheard of in regular banking for financial activities to be anything other than private ALL THE TIME.

If someone buys into Darkcoin, then it should be assumed that they want financial privacy and not leave banana skins lying around for them. It's just a statistical fact that some people will not realise they had to "mix their coins" before sending them, then you've suddenly got angry holders complaining what a crap system this is.

P.S. IMO you also shouldn't be allowed to send coins unless they are mixed at least to the "privacy" level. (I suppose exceptions could be made for testing etc, but it should be something like....you need to go to command like mode/debugger and enable it, then it gets disabled immediately on quitting the wallet).

I'm not one to watch the charts often, but the Bid/Ask on Cryptsy looks awfully sexy right now!

We're making progress getting people into the Dark, I think!

Big Ballin...
[13:02:16] Found block for solo!
[13:02:16] Accepted 8d8e2f91 Diff 119k/4.85k BLOCK! GPU1
Got tired of having to spend hours unclusterfing the wallet due to p2pool payments bloating the wallet.dat so switched to solo mining.  p2pool... nice concept, horrible implementation.

That's really impressive. Congrats!

How many DRK do you get for finding a block?


Also that Dark holder that bought XPY must be feeling so dumb now!

Been good DRK chat in the trollbox today on Cryptsy, some people shocked at all the work that has gone on with DRK, If you are on Cryptsy probably worth just dropping in some DRK info into the troll box while you pass through...

********* Amber Alert************

Renewed Paycoin dumpfest in progress. It's been building for a few hours.

For informed commentary, lets see what Terzo2 has to say about this type of stuff:

It's beautiful!

UPDATE: It's dumping so fast I need to update my graphic.

Their parachute still hasn't opened.....paycoin buywalls getting blitzed. If that 0.01 floor breaks it will be a scramble for the exits.

.......and it's gone. It's lost a decimal place - lets get an update from Terzo:

It's beautiful!

Chutes deployed, it's bouncing...how far will it go before the next round of panicked souls queue up to massacre it ?

Even at the top of the bounce I calculate the revised marketcap at around $24 Billion which means it's dropped a place below Bitshares. Also confidence will take a hit - the $20 price needs a 1000% gain from here.

Sorry for my ignorance, you've peeked my curiosity.  What is paycoin, why does it have such a large market cap?  I'm always blissfully unaware of everything going on, LOL.

Otoh's going to have to take Wall-E for a stroll uptown if he would like some action...

DRK mentioned in a question on Martin Armstrongs Blog:

http://armstrongeconomics.com/2015/01/19/the-one-world-currency-cryptocurrencies/

FYI Martin Armstrong is a God in the technical econo-analysis world. He created an amazing econometric model at Princeton Economics, so amazing, precise and accurate that the CIA wanted it but he wouldn't hand it over so they threw him in prison. He sent out updates to his model from prison during the 2008 financial crisis and was still totally accurate and was released a couple years ago and started that website.
IMO, for those of us deep in the investment world, this is an awesome bit of attention.

At least one person is sharing my excitement
Too bad Martin did not actually endorse DRK...

Wow...I hadn't seen that one. That looks pretty heavy. Is that the reason for the dump ?

If he's as good as you all say, then this quote worries me:

"I find it hard to believe that government will allow private currency in any fashion. They lose taxes and profit. Seigniorage has always been the privilege of the lord since 600BC. I remain skeptical about government accepting private currencies based solely upon history. Governments will turn against them most likely after 2015.75 when they become really desperate for cash."

it sounds like governments will be able to stop it, I don't think they can though.  I wonder what he really thinks is going to actually happen when the governments turn against cryptos?

Oh dear.  I feel bad for those defrauded   ... again.  Could so easily have been me if I had money.  Good thing I'm broke, LOL.  Can't go down from here

1. If you haven't updated within 48hrs you should get kicked off the network / stop getting paid. Provide the service or go away...
2. It would be great if mixing was ON, always, with fully mixed wallets continuing to act as mixing liquidity providers.

Completely Agree With This. Orphans from non updated pools too.

It should encourage people to update not vice versa.
Since darkcoin is all about privacy mixing should be always ON. There is other wallet (darkcoil I believe) for those who don't like privacy

I disagree....

Bitcoin 101 - A Free Market for Transparency (The Bitcoin Revolution)

Anonymity is great. And Bitcoin Darkcoin provides anonymous payments better than anything we've seen online. But what few realize is that Bitcoin also does transparency, and it does transparency better than anything we've ever seen in human history. This transparency is the focus of this first video looking at bitcoin as a revolution. Because bitcoin is the first ever tool (in human history) that can provide provable transparency, we could finally see transparency explode via the free market (competitive edges given to those who disclose). This one simple change seems innocuous but it could have major repercussions.

Intro:

When people talk about bitcoin, they talk about a revolution. The trouble is, many people can't even figure out what the revolution is. Is it really a revolution to have lower fees on credit cards and remittances? While these are big changes, they are hardly revolutionary. This series begins to look at the bigger picture, the jaw dropping changes that bitcoin could provide. And no future may be stranger or more earth shattering than the inherent capabilities of bitcoin to provide a free market for transparency. And this isn't transparency like we are used to, this is the possibility of absolute financial transparency. Not only would it eliminate the need for the IRS, but it stands to erase corruption and improve government. Amazing stuff. Hope you enjoy.

Dang, when did BTS become worth >$24 billion? With only 2.5 billion total supply, that means each coin is now worth > $9.60. I guess I'm doing better than I thought; I have 25,000 or something. That's like 1,125 BTC. Nice!

I like to have fun sometimes...

Hehe. This made me curious, so I went and actually looked. I really have 44,775, which equates to 2,018 BTC. .

Also, happy 1 year, DRK.

Can you lend me 18 BTC? Got to buy some cat and dog food, lets face it you can afford it now.
