cool TX Hey guys, I'm sort of back, but real life keeping me away. Will only be available evening these next few days. How y'all doing? Oh.. and why do we need Pool Police ? EDIT: Got it.... RC5 is testing!! Wow, talk about good timing to come back you are just in time my friend as always tons of things happening check on drktalk good to see you again ,..>>

Has anyone heard what happened to monero? Seems like some smart dude messed up their blockchain. All transactions are stalled.

Looks like some serious shit is going down. Exchanges are freezing deposits/withdrawals in XMR.

Yeah, someone very smart figured out a flaw and hit us hard, we are down! Has anyone heard what happened to monero? Seems like some smart dude messed up their blockchain. All transactions are stalled.

Don't worry, I'm not a conspiracy theorist (yet)

DASH is the future of crypto payments!

Yes I did. I"ve contacted all bad actors on different lvl of contacts... bct, contact form on www, irc, twitter, FB. Some of them never aswered. Some said NO we will not implement MN fee and some updated. Can't do more for us. W8ing for Evan and +90% payments as he said recently.

BE SMART, USE DASH ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Just a small announcement from our side: We started to accept payments in DRK. We also just decreased the prices for our scrypt contracts which are very attractive now since the litecoin difficulty seems to be currently on a hold! ( https://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/difficulty) You can use the promo code "10Dark" to get a 5% discount on everything that you purchased with DRK.We hope you like it!

****** THIS IS FOR TESTING RC5 ON TESTNET ONLY !! NOT FOR MAINNET !! ******** https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rc5-testing.2245/****** PLEASE UPDATE TO 9.13.0 OR 10.13.0 ******* Hello everyone! Development has been going great and the last few things must be done on testnet. RC5 includes these items so far: - Darksend queue improvements : Matching should be much faster and more accurate - Progress indication on creating a new wallet, shows up on the splash screen - CLI help has been updated to show new commands - Masternode payments reverted back to RC3 version (I'll do enforcement later after opensourcing) - Collateral turned back on - Darksend simple configuration screen on startup - Darksend transaction filters - When sending to yourself, n/a appeared instead of the address - Large wallets wouldn't begin darksending - New overview for Darksend info Note: Let me know if you get a collateral payment. Please send me the debug.log and wallet.dat if you do to evan@darkcoin.io RC5 Binaries ( masternodes ) http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc5/darkcoin-qthttp://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc5/darkcoind Mpos + Stratum: http://ec2-54-91-161-78.compute-1.amazonaws.com/index.php -- connection string: sgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://54.91.161.78:3333 -u eduffield.1 -p x Nomp : http://54.183.73.24/ How can you help? 1.) Point some hashing power at once of the pools! 2.) Run the "masternode-rc5" branch on testnet: https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin/tree/master-rc5 3.) Run a masternode 4.) Anonymize some money (faucet : https://drkipn.com/test/faucet/) Thanks everyone, The Darkcoin Team PS: Can people send money to the faucet? mmfb6hxTdLT3gQGAEDr2g6Qug8ew2MwKoJ eduffield, 8 minutes ago

Someone in the XMR thread said this has already happened to DRK, when did it happen to DRK? Link?

Someone in the XMR thread said this has already happened to DRK, when did it happen to DRK? Link? I think they just say drk forked a while ago, just like xmr now. nothing special Yes, well, DRK forked because it was a planned upgrade in terms of system functionality and it could either work or not... XMR forked just because some hacker exploited their codebase. From what I read the suspicions are on the BCN camp as there has been some animosity lately between Monero and other CN-coins. Personally I had highlighted what happened these last few weeks (low cost spam attack + vulnerability exploits of the code) as possible future risks: g) What is the cost to render the blockchain DOA for someone who wants to kill Monero, in terms of Bitcoins? Can a kid, a hacker, a government spend 10 BTCs and make the blockchain so bloated that it doesn't even load the wallet - killing my multi-million investment? .... k) What happens if the Bytecoin guys (who made the code) discover a flaw, patch it in their own coin and then kill the clones by exploiting the flaw? If they are really underground hackers that hate the Monero copycats, isn't that a real possibility? ... m) What assurances do I have that the codebase is solid? For all I know it's totally untested in public use, being public for 2 or 3 months. Even the boolberry dev openly declares it to be untested.
Having a 5yr code vs a few months old code, is certainly not the same in terms of being tested and robust.

Wow! You nailed it... months ago. Yeah I'm starting to become an expert at anticipating failures My DRK predictions: I believe there will be issues with future functionality as some of the things are totally new and have the potential for quite a few bugs to resolve, like the 10% payment, in a proof of stake/proof of service way, towards the masternodes. We might even see fork failures. Bleeding edge, is bleeding edge - so one must be ready for everything... Personally I'd take bleeding edge any day over a shitcoin - and so far it's paying out handsomely despite whatever issues have appeared and been resolved so far.
Darkcoin is not Bitcoin. It's in active development. Its code is changing every day and there have been two hard forks in like 10 days. Something can go wrong with a bug, people can flash-crash it in an instant and a candle might appear at 6$. Why bet* on something like that? The masternode hack in particular can be tricky for it requires changes in stratum + p2pools. It got delayed 2 weeks and it'll still have bugs I believe, that might require extra hard fork.
(btw the candle at 6$ and the flash crash, actually happened due to the fork fail ) In my opinion, RC4 is going to be a game changer if it launches without any issues.
I think it's highly unlikely it won't have any issues and be 100% ready. After all it's not called "final". It'll probably need tens of bugfixes post-release. The rate of bug-squashing is significant, which means that mainnet functionality will surely uncover more bugs that weren't discovered in test-net scenarios. But unlike network forking issues with MN payments, these bugs do not carry the same weight. Forking is a game-stopper. Darksend bugs aren't. You patch them and move on. The only one I failed to anticipate was the second RC3 fork (IIRC), where I was "cautiously optimistic" due to all the testing done... And as it turned out, the network was working half-decently by realigning correctly after forking but it just took longer than the confirmation window (>15m or 6x2.5m blocks) so it had to be rolled back. So, in terms of prediction, it wasn't entirely a fail but it wasn't entirely a success either. The game here is to bypass hype and try to understand what you are dealing with in terms of technology, whether we are talking about Darkcoin, Monero or something else.
