Has Evan put out an official statement about the next step/timing?

That might stop the speculation and silence the trolls (it's funny how they're nowhere to be seen during DRK's growth).

Pi guy is no longer the biggest wallet, someone went on a buying spree yesterday:

I think that guy was accumulating through cryptsy and then moved it out around the time of the hard fork.

5) Darkcoin is special because there are going to be multiple known hard forks, by design.  This isn't like most coins where the coin is released and all work on it stops, and hard forks are only a dreaded consequence of a big flaw.  Given this crucial feature, which IMO makes Darkcoin what it is more than anything else, it makes sense IMO to build some kind of "centralized" service that will alert users to problems, updates, etc. without them having to rely on searching forum threads and the like.
...
Darkcoin screwed up, big time.  It gets a free pass on this one -- chalk it up to a rookie mistake -- but next time, faith will have been lost.

Darkcoin has had like 10 or more forks that I can remember, changing the diff / blocks, introducing DarkSend, changing DWG/2/3, two forks now with the masternode payments etc.

Those who'll lose faith are probably not familiar with the development plan:

- RC2 (magic numbers changed to darkcoin, DGW3) : May 14th
- RC2 (masternode payments) : May 25th
- RC3 (10 DRK limit removal and denominated change) + anonymity upgrade
- After this, I'll find someone to vet the code
- RC4 (Bugs, security issues)
- Testing, then opensource

My biggest concern is if multiple forks keep happening in a chain reaction like what happened yesterday.
It could happen again, and i expect its a type of DDoS attack, the security has to be tightened and 100% fullproof, if there any exploits found it will mark the end of DRK. It cant afford it to happen.

Evan is a good dev, still he needs to build up a team. A coin with 1 or 2 developers (second being InternetApe) cant survive. A team is needed, sooner or later. The sooner, the better.

Tell him to build a team, with him being the project leader aka "Core maintainer".


Zwiggel: Don't quote trolls.

So how about we start setting up a funding for Evan? Hes done so much and now we are getting in an amazing phase. And if he can pull all these upcomming developments off men we are far, far , far ahead of everyone!

Imagine what he can do when he can create an amazing team with our fundings!

Oh this is too funny. Please, send poor Evan your money.

:p

Evan was actually so generous with his darkcoins in the early days so he had to ask to buy back some. Do you expect us to make him use up all of his savings to make savings for us? This attitude is so unbelievably selfish

Yeah, Now trolls rule the DRK Lands ! All Darkcoin supporters run terrified by the trolls ! And where is Evan i this fight ? No RC3, no schedule , no hope !

[splawik21]

I'm speechless, so much hate & FUD and we're still high up.

Make no mistake, any P&D coin would be dead already.

Time to catch few more.

Luke my mintpal and cryprsy history are biybuybuybuybuybuybuybuy etc...

Chill, man. He's been working on this since Jan. The development is still happening, I was just asking for an update.

Or maybe you're joking. I hope you're joking.

Not yet, he is probably catching some sleep. I've been told humans do this once in a while.

Terzo is a schizophrenic dipshit and a paid troll, try and ignore him.

All synced and re-updated. My wallet backups not appearing at all 

[Minotaur26]

Beware of the trolls

All I can see is brand new accounts and known trolls trying to spread FUD. Evan is in Phoenix, Arizona and it is 5:00 am there now. You know how I know this? Because we have a transparent developer. So you should learn to expect updates during business hours UTC -7.

It's like 5:00am where Evan lives, I think we can let him sleep for a few more hours.

[thelonecrouton]

Your wallet backups will be wherever you put them.  

[pbleak]

Yep, they are there. Just not appearing in my wallet. Not sure how to import or what I need to do. It's not many. I'm not going to go mad, but frustrating.

OK guys, I wasn't asking to wake him up...I was asking if there has been a statement. I miss so much being on the other side of the world - I'm asleep during his business hours.

[thelonecrouton]

What form do these backups take? The client can only load one wallet at a time, the one called 'wallet.dat'

Says who?

The market decides about the price and if they will sell or buy. If whale buyers think it's ok, they'll sweep all the coins of those who say "I'm done - this is too volatile for my preference". That's the only reality of it.

Coinmarketcap took the price to the sky and now people are saying "yeah, don't tamper with it too much, a coin of that size shouldnt have these type of things". I mean, wtf... How is the project to complete itself if it doesn't finish its development AND deal with possible attack vectors? I'd rather have the attack vectors deployed now rather than later (which would require hard forks after finalizing).

My rationale is this: If DarkGravityWave -which is relatively simple as a diff adjustment- required 3 versions to get it optimized, something as big as masternode payments (in terms of "hack") would probably require quite a few patches to make it optimal.

You simply replace the wallet.dat in the /USER/AppData/Roaming/DarkCoin with your backedup wallet.dat, restart the qt and everything should be fine

Looks like a Cryptsy cold wallet to me.
