I'm bumping that link for the newcomers   : The Birth Of Darkcoin

[janos666]

Hmm, strange.

I started the latest 0.10.0 beta Windows client with connect=www.drkpool.com after cleaning my appdata folder and I can't sync past 46226 even though that pool is on block 46556.
Possible explanations:
-> www.drkpool.com is on a wrong blockchain (if the latest client has a correct checkpoint)
-> the latest client is broken (possibly incorrect hardcoded checkpoint or other bug)

remove connect=www.drkpool.com from your darkcoin.conf
If you use 'connect=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', darkcoind and darkcoind-qt only connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
If you want faster syncing, use 'addnode=' or 'seednode='.

I intentionally connected to a single node (I know what that command does), so I should be able to get synced with that node even if there are multiple forks around the network.
I didn't want to sync faster, I tested if I can sync at all.

Well, your intention will not work, when www.drkpool.com connection is full.

Code:

www.drkpool.com.	21438	IN	A	162.252.83.44

www.drkpool.com's inbound connection is full.

May be it's full now but it doesn't matter because it did sync up until 46226 (using connect=www.drkpool.com, starting from block 0), the block which most people got stuck with.

my blockchain stopped synchronizing at block 46226.
I'm running v0.9.1.0-unk-beta and have 8 active connections to the network
Anyone else having problems?

This doesn't seem like a coincidence to me!

There might be sync problem.

Which os and bit do you use ?

Wallet is 17 hours behind.. Got the same issues as everyone else stuck at block 46226   .. Is there a confirmed fix yet?

WOOOT

ive been successfully in getting darkcoin added to http://altoutlet.com/drk

now, go shop lol :-)

As cool as it is to have sites accepting DRK, I feel it's important to make this known: From a bit of digging, this site seems to be selling the exact same products that DealExtreme lists, but with a 90% markup.

It's up to you whether you think the 90% markup is justified. But it's good to be informed of your options. Personally I'd love to buy from them with my DRK, but for now I'd be buying from DX until altoutlet's prices become more competitive.

Is it true, that at the moment 79,9% of the DARKCOINS are instamined (in the devs wallets) And this "Block reward": 2222222/(((Difficulty+2600)/9)^2)d  is made to f..ck the ordinary miner ??

Is there anything we can do to speed up DRK transactions? This is the remaining weakness of crypto and one that has to be solved for cryptocurrency to become mainstream. Evan, do you have a solution to this? A transaction should be instant.

I know it's a lot to ask for, but I was wondering if you could be capable of solving it? If you do, DRK will be the holy grail.

This could be fantastic breakthrough, and will boost price for sure. First coin to implement this could gain huge success.
