Press release is live! Now that I have everything setup to do this, we should be able to launch one much quicker for RC2.

http://www.reddit.com/r/DRKCoin/comments/23pstu/darkcoin_rc1_press_release/

Good work, but please next time let someone proofread for minor errors. I think it's important we stay as professional as possible and set DarkCoin apart from other coins. I'm a librarian married to an english professor whose mother is a technical writer, I'll happily volunteer to proofread for you (and will get their help!).

I'm not trying to be a dick, it's a fine release and I appreciate the work Mannie (it was his work, yes?) put into it. Peer review can be good though .


edit: Do you have links for the various places it was distributed yet? I don't know how long they take to propagate around the web so maybe they aren't out there yet.

Didn't want to mention this in the very first post after he announced it (and it was posted for proofreading a few days ago, so we all had our chance) but I agree.  Minor punctuation and paragraph structure things, I believe pseudonymous was meant to be pseudo - anonymous, and some parts are a little too far inside the bubble for mass consumption.

All in all not too shabby though.

Thanks guys. Future media releases could certainly benefit from some proof reading. It can be hard to spot one's own mistakes, especially when updating and adding to a previous draft.

re pseudonymous: I believe my usage was correct ("pseudonymous digital addresses"). The Bitcoin protocol is pseudo anonymous but the digital addresses are pseudonymous, in that they are false identities.

Yes, pseudonymous is used correctly here. It's been used to describe BTC by professionals; see here: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-08-27/bitcoin-may-not-be-so-anonymous-after-all

Wondering if anyone from the community would be interested in funding a 'Darkcoin themed' SSL (https) web Based proxy on a TLD to seriously promote Darkcoin ? I have unused promotional credits for new proxy TLD's - with available / extra server bandwidth being the only real restriction for mass traffic to further promote DRK.

I have suitable hosting and can handle all the technical aspects etc., although a much better page design would be useful.

Anyone interested? Cheers!

Out of curiosity, why do you have max connections only at 8?

[BitcoinFX]

Out of curiosity, why do you have max connections only at 8?

Only out of courtesy to Tor network / servers bandwidth really.

Although, even with the 2 .onion nodes running it takes a good while to get more than that many connections through Tor.

8 connections was the original setting in the first Bitcoin client to ensure minimal 'optimal' connectivity, times have changed, but Satoshi tested that extensively. More connections are obviously preferred if possible.

You can set maxconnections to a higher value ofc.

P2P over Tor is a 'mess' at best. Luckily port 9999 used by Darkcoin works quite well over Tor as its included in the 'Reduced Exit Policy' list of a large number of Tor Exit Nodes. See: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/ReducedExitPolicy

I am interested. Pm me.

DarkCoin's new logo is very very very similar to logo of  company DaKine - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DaKine

The only correct choice was number 2.  Everyone who picked something else was wrong.  I am an American millennial.  My subjective opinion is the only one that matters.

I'm a baby boomer and I totally agree, everyone should listen to us, LOL  

[TanteStefana]

Who the fk is dumb enough to sell 12 btc's worth of darks at the low ass price of 13500.

To me it just proves that these coins are still being well distributed to the masses.  The more people that hold dark, the healthier the coin is, and I dare say it's the healthiest altcoin out there!

If only I knew what this all means, aside from somehow using tor with Darkcoin, which I probably will never do because It seems a few miles over my head, LOL.  Hope it catches on and that some people with know how do join in

[mannie]

Just wondering when we're going to move over to the new website copy (http://darkcoin.us/io)? I think we could slap the new logo on this and replace the old website right away. This is much better, although I would love the chance to edit this down and make it more readable for the web. 

We definitely need a professionally designed website but this is good for the interim IMO.
