OK I found both wallet.dat files so take old dat  and copy  then paste into new dark coin wallet or dark coin wallet.dat

First thing you do is backup both wallets.dat files

Then install a new wallet from darkcoin.io.

Launch new wallet for the first time.

Now take turns dropping your backup wallet.dat files into appdata/roaming/darkcoin folder to see which one matches the address with the coins.

Once you've found the right wallet.dat just let the wallet sync and your coins will appear.

I just dropped the xcoin wallet.dat into new wallet roaming file, trying to open new wallet but it just says rescanning?

Should be in the /roaming/darkcoin folder, not /roaming folder?? or was that a typo?  Wasn't your wallet already fully sync'd?

new wallet synced and just typo, was asked if I wanted to replace xcoin.dat with dark coin.dat when I did it( I'm sure this what it asked but could be wrong) deleted newer wallet reinstalled it but same thing just rescanning

What do you mean by the bolded part? Once you overwrite the old one and it seems like you did all you need to do is run the wallet.

wallet was was only rescanning figured I did something wrong so deleted new wallet then reinstalled it still same thing looks like it going to start up then says rescanning after it says loading block index

Ok dude I'll help you out. What's your teamviewer thing?

Seems like pretty sound technology going into this coin.

yes indeed

Yup
these boys know what they are doing !

I think you can go with libboost-all-dev instead ? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Is DarkSend opensource already?
How could you start a masternode after building darkcoind from a source which doesn't have the reqiured code?

I wish someone could create a video like this explaining the Darkcoin system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0qn3oPYo5c

Secondary wish: I wish I had the skills to do it myself!

I seem to recall there's a bounty for a video on Darkcoin...

FAIR WARNING: All of you guys asking for help to setup Masternodes should consider not running a Masternode. If you have issues deploying the wallet on any machine of any kind, you more than likely won't have the necessary background to fully harden that machine either. Instead of paying to get the wallet deployed only, pay for someone to identify an AMI/image for your or even better harden a long-term public release.

Also don't forget that security has to be an ongoing concern, and starting with a properly hardened image is not the end of it. You will have to daily monitor and remediate where necessary. You will also have to make sure your selected hosting company lives up to its name. You may have a properly secured machine, but it's only as secure as the infrastructure it sits on.

Considering 1K DRK is quite valuable today and likely to be more valuable in the future, don't just drop your Masternode out there in the wild like sitting ducks for script kiddies to compromise. If you get compromised, do not come back to complain about Darkcoin because this one is 99.99% on you (with the minor exception of wallet/client vulnerabilities).

There is a similar ip search site called IP-Details.com to check our External ip address. Here it display IP address, ISP, Location, Country and so on,...

is the DDOS protection required to keep the 1000DRK from being stolen by hackers, or just to prevent the masternode from being unusable?

Yes, DDOS variants can be used in support of security attacks but in reality it's more of a continuity of operations concern. You are likely to lose fees due to it rather than have your system compromised. Your selection of host should definitely offer services for DDOS prevention.

.......

I know what's missing. I know I have to install it. But it doesn't exist...

MasterNode capable wallets are not available open source yet.  You must use the closed source RC1.  RC2 will also be closed source but should enable payments.  I don't know how many more release candidates we will have before it goes open source though??

I know some disagree, but preserving a technical edge over other coins for as long as possible I think is very important to this coin having the time to be fully established before anyone and everyone else who have larger market caps can just copy Darksend and implement it.  There should be no rush to open source Darksend and in fact, it should be made as hard as possible for others to copy it.

Just more people like darkcoin than blackcoin...

Just more people like darkcoin than blackcoin...

I will like it again after (and if) it sells itself for cheap again.
I am starting to worry I will miss this train. It's more similar to a big DOGE pump with a long pump and slow decay rather than a BlackCoin kind of quick pump and lightning fast all-in big dump. Or it's neither, in which case my 4 BTC will never buy my 1100 DRK back.

thanks for the info, do you think the free package offered by cloudflare for example, would provide sufficient DDOS protection? How easy is it for a masternode to be DDOSed?

thanks for the info, do you think the free package offered by cloudflare for example, would provide sufficient DDOS protection? How easy is it for a masternode to be DDOSed?

Free services usually protect you with certain limits, i.e. certain protocols, certain amount of bandwidth, type of attack, etc. I could not find the necessary technical detail so you may want to take that question to Cloudflare directly. Their advanced service however promises they will attempt to mitigate all forms and sizes though I believe there would be a fine print with limitations there also.

Best is obviously to not leave everything to the hosting provider and layer your defenses as much as possible. Even come up with contingency plans with different hosting providers, etc. Sounds complicated but if you think of deploying multiple Masternodes and make money off of the associated service, definitely worth your time.

Again a reminder, DDOS is a must for considering but making security a daily concern is higher. DDOS is not likely to cost you 1K DRK but a simple vulnerability followed by a compromise will.
