I'm a tad confused by recent developments: Do we have a fixed date for RC4 release? I think July 24th was being thrown around?

Pablo.

this is from the official Development Update 15th of July 2014 :

quote :

Testnet Phase

Development on RC4 is nearing an end and we expect that we’ll be firing up testnet in the coming week. Depending on what we find, testing and QA should take 2 to 4 weeks.

Code Review

Kristov Atlas has agreed to be the first to review the Darksend code. Kristov will be evaluating anonymity and overall design of our technology and will report his findings publicly. We’ll be sending the code to him soon and we anticipate that we will hear back from Kristov by the end of the month.


https://darkcointalk.org/threads/development-updates-july-15th.1788/

edit : edited in also the code review part .. which is most likely finished before RC4 gets implemented.

Testnet is currently live already since a few days. They are working on finding all remaining issues and fixing them.

yeah i know, i'm keeping an eye out on the testing : https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rc4-testing.1830/page-9

I've been keeping separate wallets and conf files in, for example .darkcoin-MN1, .darkcoin-MN2 etc. and just renaming those folders to .darkcoin before noodling with that MN.

I also keep separate wallets and conf files in separate folders. Note, instead of renaming folders and such, you can just start each masternode using the -datadir switch i.e.
darkcoind -datadir=/home/Ubuntu/.darkcoin-mn1/

Using -datadir is safe and easiest way.

But has some inconveniences.
Every command should have '-datadir=/home/~' as argument.  
--> Use alias / alias darkcoind = 'darkcoind -datadir=/home/Ubuntu/.darkcoin-mn1/'
 
Syncing.. No otherway..

i am using only one .darkcoin directory with minimum darkcoin.conf and add the rest of the parameters by starting a script for each mn:

#/bin/sh
/usr/bin/darkcoind -masternodeaddr=... -masternodekey=...

seems to be working

but theoretical i also would have to add the parameters when executing "darkcoind masternode start"?

No, the daemon or qt client should already know that if you've started it with them.

I might write a little qt or tk MN Admin GUI if I get the time. Nothing like bloating a 3kb script with 200MB of widget crap.

Great to hear! Welcome to the DRKside.
Edit: I just read about your trading mishap. Don't panic buy. Use the next 24-48 hours to build your position. Trading volume lately has been pretty anemic, which means the market is as calm you're likely to find it. If you get to 1000+ DRKs, think about setting up a masternode. This does a few things for you.
1. You must move your coins off the exchange and into your wallet (always a good long term practice).
2. You learn a thing or two about setting up a Linux server.
3. You get paid DRK for proof of service.
4. The instinct to trade on volatility diminishes b/c you're using your DRK position to own and manage a masternode, and get paid for it.
   

Well said, VERY good advice!

If -datadir is used in command line, -datadir should be added always, because -datadir has default value '~/.darkcon'

I think you have to change wallet.dat manually(or script).

Code:

-conf=<file>           Specify configuration file (default: darkcoin.conf)
-datadir=<dir>         Specify data directory

masternodeaddr and masternodekey as parameters, good idea.

RC4 started testing yesterday, and Kristov Atlas, a well respected young man in cryptos, is reviewing the code.  There is a donation address set up for him (anyone have it handy?) so that he can spend more time reviewing and commenting.

Chaeplin - first of all, thanks for your very useful site to help monitor our masternodes: http://drk.poolhash.org/masternode.html

I'm a bit confused about the current state of my masternode. I set a new IP for my masternode and restarted it; it shows as active when using 'darkcoind masternode list'. But on your site it shows two records for the MN pubkey, one for the new IP address and one for the old IP address. The new IP address is only listed as active on sv03 and sv06, the other 4 show it as unlisted. These other 4 sv's show the old IP as 'listed and inactive'. Does this mean that not all masternodes on the network know about the new IP address and are using the old IP address for this pubkey? Will the old IP eventually get purged completely?

I am wondering if its a best practice to also create a new masternode pubkey when creating a new IP address for my masternode.

TIA

Thanks everybody for posting answers to my previous question.

But now I have a different problem that is giving me headache. My node is acting up.

I made a separate post for this over at darkcointalk, If any of you geniuses could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it is, when you get a new ip, you should get yourself a new masternode private key.  Not necessarily the other way around though, I haven't had to change the ip address when changing the wallet, which I did once.

I did a new masternodeprivkey with the IP address change. But I am wondering about the masternode pubkey. That is, the wallet address used for the masternode. I am unclear if the network recognizes my masternode by the masternodeprivkey or the masternode address pubkey...

pay ghostplayer 2 DRK and all your problems will go away

[daigitinasam]

How many DRK`s recieve one MN for a month? Or daily?

[blajde]

How many DRK`s recieve one MN for a month? Or daily?

0.05 to 50 daily.

Variance will be updated I think so not so much payed nodes will be in better favour.. ( not sure though ).

[splawik21]

How many DRK`s recieve one MN for a month? Or daily?

07/21 21:24:41; 
node count/len(set(poolhash.org):  710;
payment per node/DRK:  0.843; 
payment per node/$:  5.814;
DRK/$: 6.898;

anyway ~0,85drk/day

Up to RC3, moving 1K to new address get best results. IP is not a primary key but pubkey.
I have seen several nodes have split status.

In RC4, no more split.

check RC4 masternodes status : perfect sync

http://tdrk.poolhash.org/
https://test.drk.mn/masternodes.html

Payee of getblocktemplate is patched in some nodes, so can be different.(with next update, will be synced)

Any idea ? What to do ? Set up a new node ?

[Phillis]

How many DRK`s recieve one MN for a month? Or daily?

it depends. Some days my masternode doesn't get paid and some days, like today, I receive multiple payments. Variance plays a large role in how much a masternode generates.

[thelonecrouton]

How many DRK`s recieve one MN for a month? Or daily?

Averaged over time your payouts will be blocks-per-day / number-of-masternodes-running, so currently 576/700 or about 0.8 payments per day, reward varies with network diff but will tend to 1.
