Evan,
Darksend is a much bigger feature than what it seems to be in the windows wallet (just a checkbox in 'send' tab currently).

Instead of having this checkbox inside the 'Send' tab, I propose the following:
1) remove 'Use DarkSend' checkbox
2) add a 'DarkSend' tab between the 'Send' and 'Receive' tabs*
3) this new tab looks and functions exactly the same as the send tab but it uses darksend technology when submitting.

This will be much better UX to differentiate this technology from standard technology.

* You can also consider putting darksend tab before the send tab.

hey all, anyone else having problems syncing wallet at the moment?  mine is stuck at a certain block 2 days ago.  I've deleted the database file and re-synced from the beginning but still gets stuck at block 41266 (or something from 2 days ago).

any ideas?  do i need to add more nodes, delete everytrhing and start again??

You can also add some information text inside the darksend tab to explain how darksend works or how it differs from normal send

I don't like redundancy. What about this? -> The QT client immediately switches to a darker GUI skin (basically a dark gray [current coin logo color] bakcground) whenever DarkSend is checked. (And may be the checkbox gets a little bit more notabale on the Send tab.)

Dark Wallet getting ready to for live testing.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/227lne/darkwallet_update/

Interesting Q&A:

Q. Will it be possible to connect the wallet to other cryptocurrencies? Litecoin, Peercoin, Primecoin, etc.

A. caedesv

The first version is going to be bitcoin only (well and testnet coin but maybe not at the same time). This way we avoid some complexity and also can deliver on the initial promises.

For next stage we're totally considering make it multi-currency (and other goals). Should be easy and at least with some coins looks like we can even use the same bip32 tree, one key, many currencies.

changing skin properties based on a checkbox setting is a bad idea. That is uncommon and unpredictable UI that doesnt achieve anything. The goal here is to make DarkSend more prominent and to make it seem like a unique feature, without having to interact with any control.

This is a very good idea in terms of UI/UX.

Very much agree.

Just remember, newbies already find wallets confusing. They are simple and easy to navigate if you use them regularly.

What settings should I use to mine DRK with sgminer using an MSI 7850? it isnt working.

I'm behind and don't know if you've gotten help, but here is a hardware chart:
https://docs.zoho.com/sheet/published.do?rid=12cbm2fe8ce55abb2476daa0f8c576b442d40&mode=html

And you need to use the version of sgminer set up for X-11 algorithm.  It's on the first post of this thread.

Litecoin developer, Mr Lee, asks if DogeCoin and Litecoin can be merged mined to reduce the impact of ASICs.

http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/22dzwq/censorship_on_rdogecoin_mods_why_do_you_keep/cgm2ytt

What a great way to kill Litecoin. Expect even more miners to DRK.

A DarkSend masternode (FAQ?) question:

Can I just copy over an existing wallet.dat (containing the private key for an address which holds 1000 coins) and start the beta client or do every steps listed in the instructions should be strictly followed?

I prefer to create and encrypt the wallet.dat files in an offline Ubuntu Live environment and thus never expose the unencrypted wallet.dat to an online machine.

[TanteStefana]

Can we please stop replying to that complete waste of time? This white knight for all the "scammed and miserable" ...

All it does is fuels his desire to be centre of the attention.

Does he do it often?  LOL, then I'm wrong and he's an idiot, what can I say?  I always hope for the best, especially if I lost my temper, 'cause then I feel so bad........

I'm 17 soon i am not a kid.

Also it's going to be a petition not a vote.

I will simply put an honest account of darkcoins history. A solution to compensate people cut out from mining.  And make a petition. If a lot of people sign. Then though sheer TRUTH SPREADING alone a lot of pressure can be applied.

Anyway i need to finish my game now.

The last of us - such a great game has anyone played it?

Ah yes.  But you are very young and I don't think you comprehend what that would do to the coin.  Please consider this:

1.  many people have paid a lot of money for coin, with the statistics laid out before them.  They knew of the history of the coin, yet they decided to buy anyway.  So they took into consideration the history of the coin and the future total number of coins that will be mined.   You want them to accept a short term increase of 33% of the total number of coins mined this year, decreasing the value a minimum of 30%, but likely to crash the market and kill the coin.  Look at what the "airdrop" for Auroracoin did.  People collected the coins and cashed them out right away, not caring that the price was crashing, they were getting something for nothing.  It is human nature, and I'm sorry, but at 17 you will still be idealistic, blindly so if you don't see this coming.

2.  Doing this would remove all trust in this coin.  People would feel the developer is untrustworthy, changing the game at the drop of a hat.  I argued against changing the number of coins to be mined, not just because I thought a larger number of coins was good for the usefulness of the coin, but because I didn't want things mucked with.  I think stability is important.   But since it actually  increased the future value of the coin due to making it more scarce, it was overwhelmingly supported.  But remember, people will always vote themselves more money, it's human nature.  It's why a democracy can never work and why the United States is a Republic.  Until they understand the consequences.  Unfortunately, the masses have other things on their minds than to dig in deep enough to make a wise decision.  That's why we're always in financial trouble

I'm very glad you've become interested in cryptocurrency.  In a few years, you will have a good understanding of economics if you keep up with it.

[TanteStefana]

The negative became positive because DRK achieved, even by accident, a distribution formula that is not killing its daily price due to enormous inflation. If you inflate fast at the start and inflation is steeply reduced after a while, you won't have the problem that other coins have. Everyone can get cheap coins at the start yet inflation is not as a large problem for the next months / years. I think this form of coin distribution will prevail because people have realized that inflation is killing prices yet the monetary base HAS to expand so that the coins can be distributed. So it'll either be proof of stake (yeah right), or fast mining + declining production in an accelerated timetable (ie what bitcoin did in several years, an altcoin will have to do in weeks/months).

I have a few vertcoins -just in case it did some kind of spike due to LTC people moving over there- and vert can't go up due to the daily inflation and dumping. Most coins require multiple times the BTCs that DRK production requires and hence they go down and down and down because there are not enough BTCs around to buy these coins. DRK has no such issue due to the fast production in the start and slower production right now.

You can have a coin that needs like 50-60 btcs per day that will be dumped every day and then cry why the price is always going down (like most altcoins), or be able to at least resist the downward trend if not go higher, as DRK does with the 0.0012 - 0.0014 levels.

I completely agree.

Finally, I will like to set up several master nodes, I lack the technical capability and time to do it myself but will be hiring somebody to do it for me. In that sense I would really appreciate a comprehensive guide on how to set up the master nodes, I think that would be a way better use of the time of the more technically inclined in this forum. Thanks

I'll bet someone will come up with a basic guide and I know the developers are going to try to build safety  into this, but do be sure, especially with that much invested, that you cover all security issues possible.  Just saying

[TanteStefana]

Thanks for the tip. I think I will mine it. They might clone darksend too. Is there a way to get some DNA from Evan?

If there was a way Tante would have figured it out by now.  

OMG I'm literally ROFLMAO!  I was controlling myself from saying many things (off colored humor again) and then  looked below, and what did I see? ROFLMAO!  You all know me too well already, I must truly learn to control myself better!
