[ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency

[GreekBitcoin]

I've not posted in this thread before, so congrats to everyone on DarkCoin.

DarkSend is coming along well and this is a great feature for this project and also for using crypto currency more safely in the future.

I was intending to start a 'Tor Enclave' project for Anoncoin, however I'm a fan of CPU coins and some 'default' features of DarkCoin actually make it more suited to network connectivity when using Tor.

So, I have set-up 2 DarkCoin nodes which are running as dual stack i.e. they have connectivity through Tor as well as through the clear (regular) internet.

Here is the darkcoin.conf settings to enable connectivity via the Tor Browser Bundle.

Note that the Tor Browser Bundle uses Socks 5 port 9150 instead of 9050.

Code:

gen=0
socks=5
proxy=127.0.0.1:9150
maxconnections=8
addnode=33rkrxcfoeduijtb.onion
addnode=hgyvmhd7p2ihasu2.onion

I think this method of connection is preferable to using;  -tor=<ip:port>  and  -onlynet=<net>   although thats up to the user.

See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=309716.msg3324942#msg3324942

Re: Official Anoncoin Information, FAQ & Description thread. [Moderated] - What/Howto Tor.

See: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin

Connectivity can be vastly improved both for the user and within the Tor network by using the following config. (torrc) with the Tor Browser Bundle. This is a fast / censorship resistant config. which has been slightly adapted to maximize DarkCoin connectivity through Tor.

See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=331077.0

NumEntryGuards 8

The main additions are; ExcludeSingleHopRelays 0 , AllowSingleHopCircuits 1 , additional of DarkCoin port 9999 as a LongLivedPort.

Please note that these settings are advised for DarkCoin connectivity, although potentially enforce making single hop connections within Tor when browsing, which can actually lower your anonymity when using Tor for browsing, although making Tor very fast.

These single hop settings ensure connectivity with the hidden_service nodes that are using these settings, hence referred to as a 'Tor enclave'.

See: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en

"ExcludeSingleHopRelays 0|1

    This option controls whether circuits built by Tor will include relays with the AllowSingleHopExits flag set to true. If ExcludeSingleHopRelays is set to 0, these relays will be included. Note that these relays might be at higher risk of being seized or observed, so they are not normally included. Also note that relatively few clients turn off this option, so using these relays might make your client stand out. (Default: 1)"

"LongLivedPorts PORTS

    A list of ports for services that tend to have long-running connections (e.g. chat and interactive shells). Circuits for streams that use these ports will contain only high-uptime nodes, to reduce the chance that a node will go down before the stream is finished. Note that the list is also honored for circuits (both client and service side) involving hidden services whose virtual port is in this list. (Default: 21, 22, 706, 1863, 5050, 5190, 5222, 5223, 6523, 6667, 6697, 8300)"

"EnforceDistinctSubnets 0|1

    If 1, Tor will not put two servers whose IP addresses are "too close" on the same circuit. Currently, two addresses are "too close" if they lie in the same /16 range. (Default: 1)"

"AllowSingleHopCircuits 0|1

    When this option is set, the attached Tor controller can use relays that have the AllowSingleHopExits option turned on to build one-hop Tor connections. (Default: 0)"

SERVER ONLY OPTIONS:

"AllowSingleHopExits 0|1

    This option controls whether clients can use this server as a single hop proxy. If set to 1, clients can use this server as an exit even if it is the only hop in the circuit. Note that most clients will refuse to use servers that set this option, since most clients have ExcludeSingleHopRelays set. (Default: 0)"

Which is what makes connectivity faster as the exit nodes supports single hops on port 9999 and also treats the connection as a LongLivedPort.  


Tor hidden services provide much better anonymity for the user of the service than for the hidden service operator.

My thinking is that this adds a very fast layer of 'mix' anonymity for DarkCoin users in addition to using (or when using) DarkSend. The Tor Enclave also reduces the issues with P2P connectivity over the Tor network regarding [scrubbed] connections etc. This is ofc less of an issues of DarkCoin than it is for Tor nodes and the Tor Network as a whole.

Unlike Anoncoin (or other crypto coins) port 9999 is actually allowed in the majority of Tor Entry and Exit servers already within the existing recommended Reduced Exit Policy as:

ExitPolicy accept *:9999      # distinct

See: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/ReducedExitPolicy - Reduced Exit Policy.


I will continue to work on and update the config. and perhaps start another thread or add it to the existing Torrc thread.

If anyone knows of additional working DarkCoin Tor hidden_service .onion addresses - please send me a PM.

Also, some static IP addresses for existing nodes and pools would be useful for increased connectivity.

Thanks!

Thats nice! I will it try it tomorrow!

P.S. Wanna buy a pizza with DRK?

Is there anything going on with the network? My wallet is not syncing and is now 2 hrs out. I have restarted the wallet but it doesn't help. Have >5 active connections.

Are you sure you have the current wallet? It should be 9.0.0. There was a recent hard fork, and if you haven't run your wallet in a while, it could be that.

That's it. I had scanned the first post for any mention of a wallet update. ThXX

P.S. Wanna buy a pizza with DRK?

Is that a Greek Pizza with olives on?

I'll take two. Is 10,000 DRK ok?

[peteycamey]

something fishy is going on in coinmine pool.

some guy with more than 1 million khash. and he is anonymous.

next person does not even have 1/10th of his hashing speed.

admins need to watch that exploiting sob.

Well, he's definitely not trying to exploit the mining system - he's just a gigantic whale. But with that kind of power, he's upsetting the balance of the entire nethash distribution. Would make more sense to point it at P2Pool to me... I think that would help to calm most people's fears.

Can I make a suggestion about the new website?

I think the one being built at http://darkcoin.us/io/ could be a lot better.

There are some great responsive bootstrap themes that can be added to wordpress. All you need to do is add logo and content.

https://wrapbootstrap.com/tag/responsive

http://themeforest.net/search?category=wordpress&direction=desc&order_by=best-match&term=responsive&utf8=%E2%9C%93



One of these could be modified for DRK quite well.

http://themeforest.net/item/krypton-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/6899059

http://themeforest.net/item/cabana-responsive-creative-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/6961548



The theme could be funded by the marketing pool. I would happily customise this theme for DRK in a heartbeat if it meant getting a professional looking website up tomorrow.


EDIT: Or this one, changing the yellow to something more DRK. It even mentions my home town in the demo:

http://demo.rocknrolladesigns.com/wordpress/jarvis/text-slider/

There is a bounty out for that. If you put together a customised WP template and the community likes it, you'd have a claim to 272 DRK.

Ok cheers. I'll work up a new website design today, as long as nobody else is doing the same

[BitcoinFX]

Thats nice! I will it try it tomorrow!

P.S. Wanna buy a pizza with DRK?

Thanks! I'll have to pass on buying pizza - unless your getting hungry ?

Anyway, let me know if its working well with Tor. You can ofc just download the Tor Browser Bundle and change your darkcoin.conf to the one I posted.

 addnode=33rkrxcfoeduijtb.onion
 addnode=hgyvmhd7p2ihasu2.onion

However, you will get much better connectivity and faster Tor if you edittheconfig as well.  

[godzirra]

Do we have an updated timetable for developments?

How is Darksend coming along?

Thar she blows! That's one hell of a lot of hash power! But still, even if said miner did come over to P2Pool, could they cause as much damage as they currently on coinmine? I thought P2Pool was a) too small and b) helped prevent it anyway...

I cannot understand why 200mh+ are considered here as whale ?!?!? It is normally to have something about 100mh Scrypt and 300mh X11 respectively... This guy with 1Gh in coinmine looking like those with 300mh on wemineltc and they can belong also to one person though...

A whale is relative to the pool and nethash size... DRK only has 8-15GH, so 200-300MH is a lot at the moment. When all the GPU miners migrate over nethash is almost guaranteed to increase hugely though.

Anyone tried mining with a 7990? Any good? I have one used for CAD work, but at night.......

I have four 7990:s hashing.

Mine are doing around 2200Khs per core / 8800-9000Khs / card.

edit: i run 2x7990 on 1x Corsair rm 850w without problems. I have two identical setups.
