DarkSend+

Over the last week or two, Darksend+ has made some significant advances. We’re happy to say that we’re closing in on a finished product.

We've opted to employ a strategy for Darksend+ that is slightly different than the one we outlined in our last update. This new strategy has several advantages, and we think it is a significant improvement over the previous iteration in terms of both privacy and efficiency. The Darkcoin client will now store pre-mixed, denominated Darkcoins in the user’s wallet, to be used instantly at any time the user desires. The mixing and denomination process is seamless, automatic, and requires no intervention on the part of the user. The 10 DRK limit previously in place with Darksend v1 will be permanently removed. With RC4, the amount that users can send via Darksend+ is limited only by the available balance in their wallet.

Here's how it works:

Every 10 blocks, user clients network-wide will send any unmixed, traceable Darkcoins in their possession through an anonymization phase. In this phase, Masternodes are used in chained succession to mix the coins they receive from the network and break them down into homogenous denominations. After being processed by a minimum of 2 Masternodes, the coins are either sent to the next Masternode in the chain or back to the user’s wallet at randomly generated change addresses.

Depending on the desired depth of security and privacy, users may select between 2 and 8 “hops” to successive Masternodes before their coins are sent back to the client. Hops are made every 10 blocks, so anonymization at a depth of 2 hops will take 10*2*2.5=50 minutes, 3 hops 10*3*2.5=75 minutes, and so on. The desired mixing depth can be selected in the client GUI.

At the end of the anonymization phase, the user’s coins are returned to their client at randomly generated change addresses. When the user wishes to make a transaction, the client forwards the intended amount from these anonymous change addresses directly to the intended receiver’s address. There is no direct involvement of of Masternodes in the final person-to-person transaction.

Proof of payment will work as it always has: a user can see the send transaction with the receiver’s address in their own wallet, and the blockchain will show that the receiver’s address received an input in the corresponding amount.

Bump! New anonymity developments  -- Darksend+ details.

Gold taking off on the back of the Malaysian Airlines incident.

That means Bitcoin to follow + the rest of the alts to follow that.

I'm not following the correlation between these two things... Please, elaborate.

Specifically, I see the Gold Crowd and the Cryptocurrency Crowd as polar opposites divided by the "backing" argument; those smart enough to realize backing is stupid are Cryptofans. Those too stupid to see that Au is just fancy Pb due to it's lack of fungibility and the fact that it can be lost, stolen, counterfeited, etc. It's now just an industrial metal... People with their heads stuck in the dark ages are AU supporters...

It's all in my sig Camo, finally people are listening...

Fools! Darkproton is controlling you like pawns... I just got rid of half my dark. Hes selling this time. I see your game Proton, and Im ready to play. I for one wont be left holding the bag... I love dark but I see a large drop coming.

I'm not trying to control anyone. just having some fun. I have bought >260btc of dark already. I'm pretty much the only one buying. I'm in for the long game. No dump from me. Also saw a bottom. I personally didn't think drk was going lower. It was testing and holding .009-.01. My own analysis. I very well may be wrong for this is all a giant risk. But I'm betting on a good horse, I believe. And more boom time coming. Soon. Buy price almost there.

You must have buy orders placed and trying to bait a sale.

Did you sell at a previous high and are now buying back or is this fresh capital? I was tempted to sell and buy back lower but couldn’t really do it, it felt like I could hurt the coin, I am not much of a trader maybe I will try to play with a small amount next time we hit an ATH.

And, I know it's supposed to be a 2-color design, but what if outgoing transfers would be red and incoming green, easier to differentiate them just with one look?

It would be much better to change the arrows to + and - for balance increases and decreases and you do not have to kill the color design!

Agreed. The subtlety is good, but the up/down doesn't tell me anything considering the left/right nature in the top bar... Since it's a number, +/- makes more sense. Numbers do not technically go up or down, they get bigger and smaller. A graph describing numbers might go up or down, but this is not a graph...

Change to +/-, immediately understandable.

It looks damn sexy and I want to hire you to un-suck my websites.

A little detail, but... Coinbase shows your BTC ballance to 2 decimal places, but upon mouseover, shows 4. They also round up on that shortened version, which really messes with you when making a withdrawal.

I'd like to see it show show 3 places (matching the mix depth), mouseover to full duffs. Do not round up. Simply show a + or something to let the user know there's a dangly bit of duffs hanging off there. Or, have 4/8 decimal depth be the defult, and the actual values of how deep it goes can be customized. Way easy to do this and it adds another touch to that which is already fucking classy.

I would also swap the version label to the left side, mirror the white area that shows the balance so that it appears underneath the stack of numbers. You expect to see the total at the bottom of a stack of numbers... Not on the opposite side. Keeps it more appropriately segregated.

Damn beautiful though. I want it...

Yep, good point with less decimal places and details will be shown on mouseover - that would make it look even nicer & clearer

Design is rather contemporary...  I particularly like the phallic swoosh down the bottom right with almost every major marketing company is pushing into their client's design...  Sony Ericsson started putting a similar design on their phones about 6 months ago during the startup sequence...

It's fresh, sexy and modern... Excellent work devs...

I see the DRK price dropping, proton.... and I can think of only one man who has enough DRK to dictate the market like that.

In the last hour there have been like 500 or so DRK sold... There are a lot more than 1 person who could dictate that.

Darkcoin suffers from a bad methodology to achieve anonymity and it's put everything into this one basket.

Sorry to hear you lost faith in the project. Also, sorry you're going to be getting out at a horrible time (right before I announce I have EVERYTHING figured out to make Darkcoin mainstream?).

Over the past couple of days, I've made huge leaps in the Darksend technology. In fact, RC4 will be the final solution to Darkcoin's anonymity. The client will automatically look at all of your funds and it will be able to tell which funds are not anonymized, if it finds non-anonymous outputs it will run them through a darksend with other clients. After that process, users can send without Darksend using the anonymous outputs for instant transactions without waiting for other nodes (with no upper limit on transaction sizes).

The other thing you're missing is that there is a reason I forked Bitcoin. Adoption for Darkcoin will be MUCH faster and easier for vendors, because all of the APIs are the same.

Expect more news in a few days. I have lots of work to do, but soon we can start testing all of this new functionality.
