hey guys...

I am thinking about creating a mascot for darkcoin... sort of an animal like creature.

What are animals who are commonly associated with darkness or hiding, etc?

Bat.

Mole. (creates tunnels, etc..)

what other creatures can you think of?

Panther

Judging by their frequency of appearance here; trolls.

We should make the trolls our Mascott.

"If it weren't good, we wouldn't be here."

How about some sexy picture of trolls in thongs for jerks to complain about?

That is actually such an incredibly contrarian and unorthodox idea... it could work!

Hot bikini chicks with troll heads... what would this creature say?

[Propulsion]

So i just logged into my servers to update the daemons. Check out the debug.log file size...  

This server has been operating since July.

An easy solution to this is to set up logrotate for the darkcoind log file.

You can do this by editing the /etc/logrotate.conf file. Remember, you will have to send a kill -1 signal to the darkcoind process to restart logging after compression though.

To do this simply do

Code:

 postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP $(cat /home/ubuntu/.darkcoin/darkcoind.pid)
endscript

You put that at the end of your logrotate.conf file. After configuring how you want it to compress the files.

There is more to this so I'll probably write something up about this later.

As one of my first Darkcoin Foundation initiatives and in the spirit of RC5 (it sure is great to have anon coins at the ready to use whenever you want!) I want to announce the:

Minotaur Labyrinth - Darkcoin Giveaway Contest. with a prize of 26DRK  .

Participants must be newcomers to Darkcoin, no known trolls, no known supporters or brand new accounts. All you have to do is answer two questions here in the forum:

Why should someone invest in Darkcoin?

How Darksend works?

I will take known supporters opinion as to which is the best answer and pick a winner. Feel free to be creative but your answer must make sense, lets have some fun.


Important: It is not officially open yet, at this point I would like some feedback from known supporters, what do you think of the idea and do you have any rule suggestions?  If the idea has good acceptance we will officially open the contest in a couple of hours.  You will know for how long it will be running and when the winner would be picked.

Let me know what you guys think, is this something you would like to do? We could do more contests like this later for other things too.

Edit: how about post a screenshot of your 1.1 dark anonymised and tells us what you think and get 1.1 drk payment. ie. double your money.

Difficult to rule out known/supporter/trolls from puppet accounts.

Hmm. Also for them to try it out would require at least 1.1 drk?
Although i suppose people could try it on testnet.

Nice idea but gets complicated.

Hot bikini chicks with troll heads...

That brings in a butterface possibility, too...

Owl.... much more well liked than bats or moles and nocturnal. (and wise for that matter)

Owl is cool, I love owls. Wish I could turn my head 180 degrees like that. The things I would do with that ability.

[camosoul]

Nice idea but gets complicated.

I just give away small amounts of 8-deep denominated DRK and challenge people to trace it back...

I like Dolphins 

[georgem]

the creature must work well as a cartoon, with low amounts of colors.

hm, there was this mechanical owl in some film about ancient greek mythology....

...

camosouls idea of putting trollfaces on bikini girls is something I will use separately. I will do an experiment right now.

The Dark Dolphin??

roflmao

besides dolphins are horrible things. They gang up and do horrible things to lone dolphins, turtles, tuna whatever they can get their nubbins on.

*edit unless of course this dolphin had lazer eyes. Then I'd be fine with it.

[oblox]

I think a bounty of 1000+ DRK to try to trace an 8 round transfer would be awesome publicity.

Porpoise.

Still, much more civilized than human behavior.

I think it should be a reverse psychology theme... Trolls trying to talk you into other coins that have an obvious lack of the desirable features that DRK does have. Er, just trolls trying to talk you out of DRK by talking about it's features as if they were bad and obviously failing miserably to do so. Essentially, trying to be negative but ending up convincing them it's good.

Take off the gloves. Don't be nice about it.

As long as it's not your 1000 DRK...

Wolf would be suitable.

With how fast the Atlas donations were crowdfunded, something like this would be easily achievable.

[blade87]

I'll come back here in 14 days when we hit 50-100K and remind you guys once again what a sad bunch of bagholders you guys are.

And who exactly are you going to sell to 50-100K? Some poor suckers who that are going to get bag hold those coins down to nothing? Because we both know, the chances of any of those coins surviving long term is like nothing. All I see in those coins are repeats of CINNI, CLOAK, SUPER, VOOT, etc.

This would be genius...and if nobody wins, donate it to the development fund. The problem is managing to raise such a large amount of money =(

OK, my intention was to give away 26DRK to newcomers to help introduce new people to DRK and have them try Darksend. What do you suggest would be the best way to do that? Any ideas?
