Looks like these 2 have not updated.

Hopefully the admins do it quick. Don't know about the private nodes.

p2pool node update is not necessary.
darkcoind udate needed.

how do you defend against attackers who try to DOS by requesting to be part of a joined transaction but then fail to sign off on the transaction? This is the big problem with coinjoin that prevents it from scaling well. have you guys solved it somehow?

There is a penalty for leaving the connection before the darksend completes.

And how does that work?

You put up a collateral transaction that only the current master node can cash to get into the pool. If you misbehave in any way, the master node will cash it. Each time that costs 0.1DRK, so it could add up pretty quick if you're attacking it.

Masternode's are chosen randomly using a deterministic algorithm that can't be tampered with. This has a nice side effect, people will want to run full nodes to get the random fees. So we should have a pretty strong base of nodes.

Nodes could become quite profitable over time.

I own some DRK but I am interested in mining it also, do any miners have experience with this over other scrypt coins? How are the temperatures?

[Kai Proctor]

Oh, and... goofing around...

  Wow ...

temperature and power draw is much smaller. I would say temperatures about 10-30% cooler and power draw at least 30% less

any update on when DarkSend is likely to be out of beta?

I'm working on 213.229.88.102 currently. Ridiculous Internet constraints where I am are causing it to be a slower process than I'd hoped, but I am on it - hope to have it done shortly. I'll update here and the thread on Reddit when it's finished. I updated earlier, but turned out I had the wrong tag checked out when I compiled

EDIT: It's up and running on 07c...bf5 now!

[bigrcanada]

Hi Evan, we should include a link on the website for the DarkCoin reddit...

Also...which is the  better cpu miner right now...1.2c or the 1.3? tnx

Brand awareness is a very important aspect in marketing ! I think it's a good idea to brand whatever is possible.
What about Dark PoW?

Dark PoW: 11 rounds of scientific hashing functions (blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, echo)

Already darkcoin forks popping up, if darkcoin wants to be a success there has to be more innovation ^^.

More innovation? You mean like the DGW, that was implemented literally a few minutes ago?

DarkCoin "forks" popping up that don't contain DGW or DarkSend....

More like Litecoin forks with scientific hashing.

Yes, darkcoin has good potential but innovations have to keep coming, otherwise others will do.


PS: my P2P node at stratum+tcp://62.141.39.175:7903  is updated in just a minute

AS i sayd, i think darkcoin took a great track, but it has to sustain. There is a very good reason im here now , and its the only alt crypto i ever recognized as worth my time .

Hard Fork Ahead, v9.0.0! Dark Gravity Wave goes into effect on block 34140 (Saturaday about 1PM).

I'm really happy with my current implementation of DGW, it seems to be vastly improved over KGW. It uses multiple exponential moving averages and a simple moving average to smoothly adjust the difficulty. We've had huge fluctuations in testnet and it's dealt with everything perfectly.

This implementation also fixes all known exploits with KGW, so no more 10k+ difficulty blocks out of nowhere.

Here's the commit if you're interested:

https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin/commit/07c99052edc617975cdcbe4482e02c52e2d1fbf5

To update, just download one of these:

Windows QT: http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/darkcoin-qt.exe
Ubuntu QT: http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/darkcoin-qt
Ubuntu Daemon: http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/darkcoind

I'll start messaging all of the pool operators, exchanges and everything. Thanks!

** Edit: Apparently the block explorer isn't updating and I calculated the target block using that, so it's a day sooner. Sorry about that **

wow nice feature... 

I can not check all coins for hard forks twice a day, so if you really ever plan to hard fork again and dont want to see this fail please give pool operators a fair chance to notice prior hard fork appears. thanks.

please confirm my daemon is on the correct chain:

Continuously adding features repeatedly forks the blockchain. This only makes sense when the user base is tiny. At some point, the features are settled. Also, if features were the only thing determining the success of a coin, Bitcoin would be dead. The only reason DRK may amount to something is because it addresses a fundamental need (anonymity) directly related to the main function (exchange medium). All these coins adding gimmicks aren't going anywhere because a currency just needs to be a currency (again, just look at BTC's dominance).
