Are there any bounties for light or Android wallets? I developed one of the Doge lightwallets and would love to contribute to the DRK community

[eduffield]

I'd just like to know what they are, what they do, who hosts them?  Are these ip's from wallets?  Is that why I'm confused?

How are the 'addnode' s  created?  I don't get that part, LOL  But I do see what you mean above, and understand, just still curious about the other

Can you clarify what you mean?

Oh you know, those addnodes we put in our darkcoin folder?

addnode=54.80.16.112
addnode=23.23.186.131
addnode=50.16.206.102
addnode=50.19.116.123
addnode=98.165.130.67
addnode=54.242.50.205
addnode=50.17.98.53
addnode=54.225.43.37

Where do they come from?  What do they actually do?  Are they running some kind of software?  Are they websites?

Sorry I didn't know what you meant, it seems obvious in hindsight. Right now those are centralized DarkSend master nodes. They are static and never change, pretty much the same as Blockchain.info's CoinJoin mixer. The code Evan is working on will not need those. That's where the hash of the previous block comes in to play.

To summarize: hash(block) -> some kind of mapping -> IP address. Every client will simultaneously run this computation and know that that particular client is the master node. It will be seamless to the end user. You won't have to add any nodes to your config.

Evan(definitely) and InternetApe(assumption) are hosting them.

I guess I still want to know how they are created/function and presumably what software they run

We host a few full nodes, there's just normal darkcoind.

That would be great.  Please contact LimLims, he has all the bounties

Thanks Evan

Done! That's a good idea, I have it in two stages:

- Make a lite android wallet
- Darksend compatible android wallet

A password-protected wallet would be great.

* Immediate payouts after a block is found
* Higher payouts with transaction fees paid to miners
* No account hack possible

Fee: only 0.5%
Start mining within seconds! Just point your miner to p2phash.com:7903 and use the Darkcoin address from your wallet for username, the password doesn't matter.

Some asshole is messing with the Cryptsy orderbook. They really need to find a fix to these trading bots and the massive number of orders that they place to obfuscate where the real orders are.

Yeah with MultiDoge we forked bitcoinj -> dogecoinj and MultiBit -> MultiDoge. We could surely do the same for Dark. Making the Android wallet Darksend compatible would probably be the trickiest part but that's only because I haven't seen the source yet

Out buying the bot costs about $10 an hour. If that small amount can break this coin then that just sucks.

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.

what prevents masternodes from being dishonest?

Dishonest how? I think I covered everything here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5717144#msg5717144

what stops the masternode from cashing all of the collateral transactions of participants who do sign off on the transaction?

That's a great question I haven't gotten before! I've thought of that and I'm planning on implementing a slave node which will also sign off on the transactions. So the transactions require 3 signatures to cash.

Any chance of adding an Android portable wallet? i feel that i cant trust the security of a pc no matter what firewall or virus protection is on it.

hey guys, is it wise to mine both CPU and GPU on the same computer? Will mining both affect the performance of either?

Thats change nothing to mh/s but watt yes

mean kh/s per watt goes dow if you use CPU too.

Not problem if you have free watt

hmm...not quite sure I understand? Do you mean my electricity cost will go up? I expect that due to more power being used, but won't the hashrate increase overall?
