It's pleasing to see DRK's price in a relatively steady uptrend. Shows the potential

Vote for Darkcoin to enter BTC38!

voted! another vote is to add Bter.com:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=502363.0

Note that both of these have large effects on the price of any coin that goes on them because they enable direct CNY trading (CNY = Chinese Yuan). If you look at the transaction volume of DOGE and VTC, about 20% if it comes from DOGE/CNY and VTC/CNY trades rather than BTC pairs.

We *need* a Chinese webpage explaining what DRK does and a Chinese wallet translation to help these new DRK users. Any speakers out there?

Also, VOTE.

Agreed, we could put together a bounty for a Chinese Darkcoin website?

Genius thought, honestly.  

Voted - everyone else needs to vote if you haven't....The Chinese would love the anonymity as they need it more than most.

+1 for wallet translation ASAP as well.

What we need is someone to put up a Darkcoin crowd-funding site so we can organise bounties for various things, one of which would be this chinese translation/website.  A Darkcoin version of this would be ideal: http://vertcoinmarket.com/

Here's a marketplace. https://www.darkcointalk.org/forums/marketplace.9/

I could potentially put together a DRK crowdfunding site. Im partly into webdev and online marketing.

Got a lot of work atm but I can check tomorrow how timeconsuming would it be.

Wouldn't really ask for anything (would accept donations for it tho if I have free time and start building it).

Would there be a demand for a site like this?

[patrolman]

It may have been mentioned already but how about getting the faucet up and running. There's a link to it on the website and it would seem more professional if it were working. I could probably donate a few coins and the higher the price gets, the lower the number of coins I would be willing to give - I imagine it's the same for many people.

Is Darksend ready to be marketed to the public yet?

Let's upvote a simple, informative post to the front page of r/bitcoin once Darksend is ready to be unveiled to the public.

Bitcoin core developer Mike Hearn says that an upcoming version of bitcoinj, the software that powers many of the most popular Bitcoin apps like Multibit, Hive, and Android Wallet, will route all connections to the Bitcoin network over Tor’s anonymity network. When users of those apps buy or sell Bitcoins, their transactions will be sent through Tor’s system of three encrypted hops through computers around the world before they reach another Bitcoin node.

@eduffield , can you comment on this and what it means for darkcoin?

[tungfa]

I have been following every thread, test and revision here, and have come to a conclusion that i'm VERY happy that we haven't done any promotion yet.
I think that the dev should focus ONLY on getting the act together, making darksend immune to DOS; no coins lost in transactions, and so forth.

Only after we have things really stable and people can transfer coins safely with Darksend, THEN we should start promotion. Otherwise, at this stage, i fear many people will dismiss the coin as not delivering to its promise...
I think we'll get just one chance to really kick-in the media, and i'd rather it is done when we are really ready and not get burned.
Developers - you are on the right track.
My 2cents.

I totally agree !
Price and promotion and all that can and HAS to wait
as there are still too many bugs going on in Darksend and such !
We have to be 100% up and rolling (and double secure) before we take this to the next level !!

The programmers are doing their thing and things need time, so we should NOT rush them into anything, let them sort the technical side out
and then … it is on us to promote that puppy ! and it will be a great ride !
(but first it has to be standing 100%)

The only information this will hide about a transaction is the ip address associated with it.

Sending address, receiving address, and amount of coins are still visible on the blockchain when routing through tor.


Darksend hides the connection between the sending address and the receiving address.

this. and of course darkcoin can be used with tor too.

It would be a great idea if this would be built in DarkCoin wallet too. Since this is privacy centric coin, it should provide as much privacy as possible

you can already use tor for every coin. and it should have been already implemented in every coin. it will happen in every coin rather soon than later.

Appreciate those posts eduffield.

Have you by chance expounded upon the "encrypted transaction network", or at least gave a brief outline/framework somewhere? I'm curious what your vision is for this. I think I've read every post in this thread but I may have missed it.

I'm not dead set on how I want to implement this yet, and have a few separate ideas.

Before implementation: proxies have always been supported, which would do the same thing. They just require a bit more work on the users part to setup.

Implementation #1: Building in something like tor to use an existing network to secure communication between the nodes and yourself. The problem is this causes everything to slow down substantially.

Implementation #2: Turn the Darkcoin network into a proxy network and pick a node to securely relay through. This could even have N hops before reaching an exit node and would only work for internal system messages.

Implementation #3: Unencrypted relaying using a "Pass this message on to 1 node (and tell them to do the same) you're connected to or if random number > X broadcast", so the message would hop multiple times before it was actually broadcasted by the exit node. You would never know who the original client was because N hops would be random.

Implementation #4+? I'm open to other ideas.

I don't know if he still plans on doing any of this. He used to have it listed on the first post as a feature that would be implemented sometime in the future.

What kind of speeds are you guys getting cpu mining? I'm getting 498-502 kh/s with my i5-4670k @ 4.5 GHz.

you are more than welcome to add funds to the faucet, ive allready used 1000 darkcoins on it, and think its time for others to dip in as well, the donation address is at the faucet...

http://pool.darkcoin.io is down

Just about every pool will eventually have some downtime... I mine BTC on eligius, and it "sort of" goes down frequently.

I highly recommend running with a failover script or batch file. Someone posted two good examples a while back in the thread. If someone wants, I can repost them - but I can't take credit for them.
