"More decentralized than bitcoin" is a legitimate advertising point?

https://blockchain.info/connected-nodes

vs.

https://drk.mn/masternodes.html

https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/nodes-active/ shows 6333 Full Nodes for Bitcoin.

Unfortunately we can't really touch Bitcoin on that stat gievn that we can't have more than 5000 something masternodes with the current number of coins and that would mean no coins available for trade and is never gonna happen

blah blah blah

blah blah

blah blah blah!

I and I'm sure I can speak for most here have had enough of your BS!  Your now officially on my ignore list...and I'm sure many more will be doing so as well.  Your spamming our thread and it is NOT wanted.  Please stop and/or leave!  Thanks.

I guess you were the last one to put him on ignore

I will await the outcome of the Zeuner peer review of shadowsend v2.

Isidor has undertaken to also compare/contrast SSv2 with other anon systems, including yours (DRK MN's). The report should be illuminating for all.

So you will await the outcome of someone's review - await it for what? So you will decide what to do with your shadow coins? What happens if he says shadowsend is almost as good as ducknote, will you dump shadow and buy ducknote?

Who is Zeuner?

By all accounts Isidor Zeuner is a gifted cryptographer who's reputation precedes him. He has worked with BTC COre Devs and he is above reproach.

He is writing a peer review for ShadowSend v2 and will additionally contrast it to other anon architectures in this space (including DRK). This is not a code review but rather a review of cryptographic architectures.

I will be fascinated to learn how he compares DRK's two-tier MN architecture with Shadows bleeding-edge Non-Interactive Zero Knowledge Proofs implementation.

Ultimately the Shadow community has done a favor to the entire altcoin community by commissioning this review and it is quite possible Isidor will come out in your favor (bear in mind tho that SDC Team specifically asked for a compare/comtrast)

Gavin Andresen spoke about NIZKPs in DEV Core 2015
see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3INbCnEfZq4

With Respect illodin
Even if Isidor finds an issue with Shadow I have complete confidence that rynomaster and technovert will fix it as the consummate professionals they are.

p.s. Mixing 7000BTC of DRK might take a while.

Can you stop with the advertising please. It only pushes people away from your asset and is honestly tiring. You seem to spend a lot of time here lately.

I felt it was only fair to appraise the DRK community about this upcoming review since it might send a few shock waves when released.

Isidor will give an honest analysis. Maybe he'll prefer DRK.

As I said the commissioned review will IMHO benefit the entire altcoin scene.

Don't shoot the messenger.

If you want me to vanish into the Shadows you know what to do. Change your sigs.
Had Honest Tim done so 72 hrs ago (when I first requested politely) I would have left this thread already.

Man this is censorship.

He's trying to ride on Darkcoin's wave.  That's sad

My MN VPServers on Vultr, Amsterdam showed enormous outbound traffic today  
Is it only me ... ?

I started a MN VPServer on Vultr, Amsterdam just today. It sounds like from your post that outbound traffic is a good thing. I am constantly switching it up until a get a MN to start dropping coin. Not sure what the best strategy is for finding a good MN Server type and/or location.


 

With enforcement enabled, it doesn't matter at all where your Masternode is located. All nodes get equal payments, no node is paid twice before all are paid once.

I live in the same city as Isidor Zeuner, I try to meet him.

So take off the vultr reference from your guide for dummies to kill a possible FUD vector. There are plenties of good vps providers out there.

i was debating a ltc holder who said something about drk checkpointing. anybody know what he is talking about or is he misinformed? i remember peercoin had to do something like that.

"Chekpointing, do you still use that to "secure" the network ? Cause if yes, there's no decentralisation, someone have the keys, the network rely on one man... ouch. But I guess you have to, to avoid 51%."

[Otoh]

Didn't otoh put there a wall few days ago?
Shit  

Shit man.  When the cold wallet starts shuffling I start sweating.  I really hope Otoh and all are ok in this.

Otho wall was in CNY.

Yep, first time to use BTer since April last year, sent 100 BTC there yesterday, sold to CNY and put wall on DRKCNY, at least my funds aren't in BTC & that's all that I had on there, putting walls up on exchanges doesn't come risk free



In other news 2,341 DRK got bought from my wall on Finex DRKUSD @ $2.50 & the wall was neither pulled nor lowered, same as all the other ones, so the couple of people apparently so sure that they would be have been are proved wrong, thanks for the coins!

I don't know in which way and how often checkpoints are used in Darkcoin, so I cant answer your other questions.

Well, first of all it says "active" not "full". Now look at that:

DRK	2272 Darkcoin active nodes.	https://bitinfocharts.com/darkcoin/nodes-active/
LTC	1343 Litecoin active nodes.	https://bitinfocharts.com/litecoin/nodes-active/
NMC	301 Namecoin active nodes.	https://bitinfocharts.com/namecoin/nodes-active/
PPC	255 PPcoin active nodes.	https://bitinfocharts.com/ppcoin/nodes-active/

Not too bad hah? 

[dewdeded]

Jeah, its good. I didnt wanted to hype or care about bitcoins node number. I just answered the question in:

Litecoin use checkpoints as well...there's nothing wrong with that, it's just an additional securing mechanism.
The network does not break with or without them.

Hope you're ok , Otoh, and are lucky to have changed to Yuan. I have a few darkcoin there but no btc at all.

Glorious to see, UdjinM6, am thinking how the network topology is described, as there are 2 types of network so this is a hybrid system, are the masternode's a fully connected mesh topology hybridized with a peer to peer partly connected mesh networking system of the standard blockchain type. A hybrid system supersedes a single networking layer,best of both worlds I would have thought. Am I seeing the networking layers correctly?
