any ETA on darksend release?

[salmion]

I made a post about darkcoin innovations to keep a track of who is using them.

can you keep me updated when you see another coin adopting Evans work.

thanks.

any one validate???
The network is still vulnerable to sybil attacks with expensive nodes, but only by wealthy entities, and they would have to invest heavily in darkcoin to be able to do so, which would have the effect of strengthening the coin. I crunched some of the numbers, and you'd need a LOT of sybil nodes (50%+) to be able to snoop on a significant number of DS transactions where multiple mixing stages are employed. Which might be potentially feasible for a very motivated large organisation, but can be mitigated by specifying a high number of mixing stages (5-20).

Also, as the above poster pointed out, DOS on master nodes may be a problem. E.g. if an attacker DOS'd all the genuine master nodes successfully (which is unlikely, but this is hypothetical), only their own sybil nodes would remain, meaning anonymity is gone for that period. One way to mitigate this might be to have some network health indicators in the client. E.g. monitor the number of alive master nodes over time, and if it drops dramatically, have a little amber warning light on the send page to communicate that darksend transactions may be less secure. Or a graph of alive master nodes over time might be even better.

done. thanks

Quoted from the other thread:
"DarkSend is in Beta V6 and will be moving to RC1."

What is RC1?

Thx!

[jfm]

Most likely Release Candidate 1.

Its a term used by NASA. It means strap in. Check engines. Check fuel. Start the countdown clock.

I do like this coin and believe it has a good future.
But I feel the same for other coins too, the question is, what one will succeed?
I feel its not just me who is mining various coins in the hope one will succeed.

I dont know if its worth me mining DRK, or pumping and dumping other scrypt coins at the exchanges for it?
4 coins a day is not enough and i need more!

I also hope is a great silver



A great future to us

Or in computing, Release Candidate #1 :-P I know you're cool coins101 so I'll assume you were making a Doge joke, but I don't want to confuse the poor fellow.

I have nVidia card. Where I can to download the miner for dark?

You can use sgminer depending on your card. sgminer works fine with my GTX690s - it's not super fast, but it works.

I've been trying to convince the cudaminer dev to support X11 - it does help now that scrypt ASICs are out and many of the more popular coins are looking to X11.

But as of right now, sgminer or nothing..

One hint - start your intensity very low and work your way up until you start getting >2% HW errors. Then STOP, and back the intensity down a little. It is more stable, at least for me.

Don't know if anybody's seen this: https://github.com/cbuchner1/ccminer

It's got CUDA optimised header files in the code for a number of the algos used in X11, so we're part way there!

Yes. You are correct and right. RC1 is exactly as stated in the wikipedia list posted above by naxin.

Just so much negativity around here sometimes. Making a $1bn coin should be fun.

Doge didn't start the moon launch thing.

i need darkcoin GPU SOLO Mining Guide.

i am already mining on pool, i got receved some coins in my windows wallet, but i am also receving some minor values in drk cons in my wallet.

Now i want to try solo mining, i can not figuire out how to do this. Anyone can help with step by step guide ?

How to use those below ?

Code:

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

I can't help you with a guide for doing it, but I will suggest that it's not going to be fruitful. At all. Unless you have a warehouse full of video cards all to yourself and hashpower exceeding 5% of total network...

The closest thing to solo mining you can do at this point is to use P2pool.  You can join one or you can set one up  for yourself.

those addnodes are ip addresses that are known to be online most of the time and you can add them to your darkcoin.conf file in your darkcoin folder (not where the wallet.exe resides) by making a darkcoin.conf file (in text doc, make sure you save as 'other'.  It sometimes helps downloading the blockchain and gives you more active connections

Thank you for those of us rookie who experience sharing

The price of bitcoin may get a little hairy soon.

The closer we get to 15 April when China exchanges are rumoured to be prevented from using their own corporate bank accounts for BTC and alt-coin to fiat conversions, the wilder things will get.

Official confirmation to the contrary may stop the run on Bitcoin and Litecoin. And it is feasible that the bulk of selling has largely taken place.

If anyone gets the urge to sell some DRK for fiat if bitcoin takes a nose dive. PM me. I might be interested, at the right price.

Where are gone the Mh/s ? the good thing, dificulty goes down 

uffff was hard.... can`t see when I get only less than 4 coins / day for my 9MH/s....buts now its better ...

Anyway we have to be prepared, because soon we will not get 0,5 coin/1Mh/s anymore....

I guess you missed this question:
-> Is the original private key alone still enough to spend the coins after someone uses the corresponding public key for masternode qualification but shuts that masternode down?

If the answer is yes, then I can't see what you meant here:

In this case, one could also encrypt the wallet.dat with a random key and immediately destroy it forever (so even you don't know it) with a single key pair inside and print out the private key as a paper wallet which can be kept somewhere safe (e.g. not in your house and/or next to the server hardware).
When you decide to shut the node down and spend your coins, you simply delete your wallet.dat and import the private key from the paper wallet to a freshly generated wallet.dat

That's not really going to work. Upon starting the masternode up, it's going to need to sign the input with the 1000DRK to show you own it. After that all messages will use a separate key, so the wallet can be encrypted until the next restart.

If the original private key alone is enough to spend the coins later then I can't see the problem with that private key existing on a paper wallet only.

In that post, I meant you destroy the wallet.dat passphrase, not the wallet.dat itself, nor the public or even the encrypted (but technically never decryptable) private key inside it.
I wish to destroy the wallet.dat passphrase, so nobody will ever use that wallet.dat to spend the coins (only a person with physical access to the off-site/hidden paper wallet will be able to).

---

This is a serious question because I already risked to loose my 1000 DRK if the original private key is not enough to spend the coins.
(I didn't immediately backed up the wallet.dat after becoming a masternode because I thought the original wallet.dat is enough.)


-> And what if I loose my IP address?
(It's only semi-static. It haven't changed since months but it's theoretically still dynamic.)


I think we should put together a FAQ of questions like these ASAP because I get the feeling that I took too much risk by participating in this BETA.
