p.s. if you need any help just let me know i will help ya for free

Thanks Rux.  I realize that this may be cheaper running off of virtual servers.... But I'm old school.  Don't care about power costs/hardware costs as I can write this off all through my company.  So I'd prefer to host it all at my own site.  Does this effect anything?  Would this mean I'd need to have 10 separate physical servers running?

Hey guys, I got a quick question:
I am about to set up a Masternode on Windows but unfortunately I have no static IP. However, I managed to install a DynDNS Client on the server and establish an address. Everything is working but how do I get the DRK Client to connect with the DynDNS address?

You don't.  You just need to know the IP address at the time you are cold starting it.   You will need to start it from a different IP though.  A VPN works just to start it if you are on the same network.

Fisrt, can you explain what you want to do? Install a hot MN or your windows home? or cold/hot?

That's it... I got to this MN thing myself.  Where is the latest resources for "do it yourself"  guy? I'm looking to set up 10 to 12 mn's to start with,  so I'd be willing to "tip"  someone to do some consulting. Thanks

I'd also like to run it "on my own", mainly because I also don't have to worry about power costs.
Technically you should be able to run more MNs on a computer by setting up some Virtual Machines. But again, I don't know how to handle the IP problem as all the MNs would have the same.

How many dark does a masternode cost and what is the profit from it and in how much time

How many dark does a masternode cost and what is the profit from it and in how much time

1,000 DRK & earns approx 0.5 DRK per day

Edit: less any running costs, say $5 per month for a VPS if you DIY

seems like someone pulled his buywalls

Maybe.  I still see plenty on the bid side on Cryptsy though.  This looks like a normal correction to me.   I mean the price just did over 2x in the last month.    

right. nevertheless i don't like the artificial touch this rise had driven by huge buy walls by a single person. smells a little like manipulation if you ask me. buy walls weren't touched and everytime the price got near those walls they were pulled and set a little lower.

There are walls on Cryptsy DRKBTC just off the visible chart at 0.01, Finex DRKBTC & DRKUSD, also as of yesterday on BTer DRKCYN


You don't like them which is fine, plenty of people do though and if the price retraces to 0.01 then they will not be pulled or moved down what ever the volume, I'd consider that a healthy correction after the last few weeks of rises and especially the jump up from 0.008 to 0.016

Anyway they are what they are so you may as well accept that or move away if you can't, as it's unlikely that you can do much about it apart from whinging.

I just want to say something I have been meaning to say for a while on this subject.  Attracting large investors is a huge accomplishment not a problem. It means there is a lot of confidence in Darkcoin's future as a project and on its development team. Exiting large positions is not easy. In my case I have no where near as much as some of the large investors we have and I already know I can't exit in a short period of time without shooting myself in the foot and destroying the value of my investment. So the future of my investment is tied to the success of the project, that is why I abandoned trading completely and decided to work with the dev team.

So entering and acquiring a large position in DRK shows commitment to the project, as the interest of the large holders are aligned with those of the coin.  We see news everyday about companies securing VC capital and we all think is great, not long ago Coinbase raised 75 Million just for their web wallet, exchange etc. When venture capitalist invest they get shares of the company and have voting rights in the boards decisions. In the case of Darkcoin the large investor does get the coins but they don't get any special decision power from their investment, this in my opinion is way superior than a company getting capital because they are limited by the VC voting rights.

So this notion about buy walls being a problem is bullsh*t, they express real intention of buying at whatever price they are set, they are a real part of the market and an accomplishment of the project and dev team that have been able to generate the level of trust that merits such investments.  To any other large investors out there, please consider investing in Darkcoin.

Hey guys, I got a quick question:

If you're meaning from home on the same machine, thats local hot wallet holding 1000 coins and remote (masternode) machine in one.
This is fairly easy to do, use the normal darkcoin-qt.exe wallet from homepage,run and then stop it running, and put this as a new file darkcoin.conf in the roaming (hidden windows folder), with your own passwords of course, then run darkcoin-qt again.
You do not need to specify an external ip because your masternode is on the same machine so it can be dynamic. You can specify the internal ip which is normally something like 192.168.0.2, you can fix this local ip inside LAN settings using internet protocol version 4(TCP IPV4) in properties and specify a fixed local ip address with masking etc, although you might be able to skip this if only 1 machine and your router's firewall port forwards ok.
Config is something like this,

"rpcuser=researchisgood
rpcpassword=crystalmethwhores
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
addnode=23.23.186.131
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey='masternode genkey'      "

your masternode privkey must be generated from the wallet debug console using the command 'masternode genkey' after sending 1000 darkcoin to an address in the fresh wallet.
And goto wallet console and command 'masternode start crystalmethwhores', it should say masternode succesfully started..

I have missed some steps out for simplicity, and I suggest you read TaoOfSatoshi's most excellent guide on how to setup and have a play around before coming back with more questions but be warned it is for a hot/cold setup but is a similar kind of thing.

- would like to see the windows wallets sync and download as fast and as problemless as on Linux (which is impressively fast).

crowning :

I'm not sure if this is a Darkcoin problem...ALL my wallets sync way faster on Linux.

Maybe the windows GUI during sync is just starting to many processes at once, i wonder if it would be more efficient / faster
if we decouple longterm syncing with the loading of the GUI wallet. With long syncs (longer than a day perhaps? ) make it sync first
and only show some simple loading / syncing screen and once synced start all other processes of the GUI, including further syncing ofc.

edit : just my thoughts, i dont have much techn knowledge / code knowledge so i have no idea if what i describe above is even remotely
possible or even necessary.

GUI performance issues should be fixed in 0.11.2.x
spoiler: Performance Pack is already there https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/pull/177

thanks.. good to know. nice job.

[Blockhunter]

I bought .25 BTC at .0155 got 16 lol
I'll see how it goes but so far I'm in the red :/
Might buy some more at the lows to balance that out better 
Hope to see some traction
I'm in

Wow... I can't believe I wasn't doing this earlier... In that case I could set up 20+mn's and generate some serious drk. NICE!  Thanks Sub-ether!

Come on, don't make fun of newcomers to the Darkcoin scene. Every long-term holder here knows we'd hit $100.00 per on coin July 26, 2016 but @ 7pm EST!

Never 100$ per Coin?

It will be well over $1,000.00 in due time.

It will be a basis for new economies all over the world. It will be a symbol of freedom... a moment in history in which Evan Duffield has decided he does not need anyone's permission to create perfect e-Cash and with his glorious team of developers embarked upon the epochal journey that would end up freeing us from the central banks and quasi central banks' financial tyranny.
