The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

Go easy on toknormal - his grapes of wrath are probably acting up, all that being bounced about in his square wheeled horse drawn chariot you know, because nobody will ever take round wheels and the internal combustion engine seriously, and who wants to get anywhere fast anyway?

i'm doing some mixing with a small amount of darkcoins .. its looking good so far (4 denominate rounds in about 45 minutes). Its mostly the waiting on transaction confirmations
(1 confirmation) thats slowing things down a bit.

more info needed... wallet.dat seems to have gotten corrupted trying to upgrade. try reverting back to a backup, delete your peers.dat and start the wallet with command option -reindex edit : which previous darkcoin wallet / client version were you using ? If you were using a rather old client / wallet then you may need to export / import yr priv key (all of them) into a new wallet. |

In our time of instant gratification, a short attention span, a need for emergency (or normal) transactions abroad etc., real time texting etc., I would not deem a fast, reliable clearing time as a toy, rather as the necessity of the times we live in.
It's not that I disagree with that, it's that I'm saying that it's a waste of time for a blockchain to be worrying about it. 20 seconds is still far to slow. People will not be doing blockchain transaction in supermarket queues, airport coffee bars, or even online eCommerce sites. The transactions will be buffered by a payments processor who will be able to support infinitely more flexibility and speed that a 'fast' blockchain can. They currently do 5 seconds even if your bank takes 48 hours to clear the transaction. |

great post, agree with you 100%, sorry to snip heavily but wanted to highlight this comment above. What if when implementing instantX a new set of bugs or exploits is unleashed? Is it worth it. Branching out into new territory like that puts darkcoin at risk. Why not rely on the tried and tested bitcoin transaction processing. Pros and cons... |

Love your posts as always Tok  but remember that Darks journey is still very young - if Evan implements InstantX and version 1 is 20 second confirmations. What if Evan optimizes and makes confirmations 1 second upon refinement - this again could open up a new set of doors that nor you or I could have imagined. Look at Darksend and the Masternode network refinement over time as an example. |

Technical question again ( wish I had some Beta brains like some of you have ), but like Crypto too much. Is my understanding correct that in case BTC and LTC also want too add stuff that DRK already has ( like Darksend, coin mixing and InstantX ) they are forced also to be forked or "sporked" and make a lot of updates ? |

I absolutely agree with toknormal. The whole sale point of Point of Sale (lol) is not clearing a transaction, but act to act as a buffer and avoid human error in the processing payments, updating stocks, and automating accounting. That being said, anyone can create a "coinbase" for DRK where DRK absolutely would rock as a PoSale platform. The vendor might not even need to know what the heck DRK is. But that's not the point. Peer-to-peer & inter-exchange arbitrage are the biggest I see. Heck, add an encrypted messaging app and you get instantly verifiable anonymous/private communication system. Opens a whole new bag of possibilities not yet even considered before. Along with DS, IX is a blessing! Brings real fungibility to a digital realm in a way never expected ! Not only the concept itself, but as instant as a hand-to-hand transaction, but on a global scale. Going to be a thing of beauty. |

Not lots of updates because Evan is doing all the hard work and we're his guinea pigs. Anyone is free to adapt Darkcoin's opensource technology into their coins at any time. The only thing needed is a solid Masternode network to have those features. So absolutely yes, they'd need to fork to adapt Darkcoin's features. |

Not lots of updates because Evan is doing all the hard work and we're his guniea pigs, anyone is free to adapt Darkcoin's opensource technology into their coins at any time. But absolutely yes, they'd need to fork to adapt Darkcoin's features. Spreadcoin dev seems to think that he'll have masternodes up and running in a few weeks with InstanTX a few weeks after for example. Whether this is possible remains to be seen but people are benefiting from our dev team's work and also learning from our mistakes. |

You're kidding right?  He actually said that? What is Spreadcoin anyway? (disregard last question) |

LTC/BTC would have to do a lot more work to copy DRK. |
