Hi,i need help for synchronizing the wallet need the new darkcoin.conf

New Qt does not need one

But is so slow  24h  and yet not synchronizing  

Exit Qt
Delete peers.dat

I have exactly the same problem with one of my wallets on a Win7 64bit PC. I've tried everything mentioned in this thread to solve it - but nothing works. I believe the problem lies in the actual build of Darkwallet.exe, as CPU usage is very high when it's running/syncing, it frequently freezes & displays the (not responding) error before unlocking itself again & is generally slow & unresponsive. All my other wallets are on this PC & my Xubuntu ones and are running fine.

After trying for many hours trying to get the Darkcoin-QT wallet executable to work on windows 7 64bit, trying every different tip mentioned on this thread and some - I finally gave up & uninstalled it.

For a laugh, I thought I'd give the binary a go. Guess what, it works perfectly.

For anyone else who's finding the QT executable unresponsive, not syncing or generally unusable on Win7 64bit - uninstall it - use the binary & all will be fine & dandy again.

Sorry to clutter up the buy/sell/fud with a bit of tech talk, but I believe that if Darkcoin is ever to be adopted more, it is important to have a windows wallet that actually works & is usable  

Sounds like a problem with file system permissions (C:\Program Files\ requires admin privileges for certain modifications) and/or folder names with special characters (something like C:\Users\AppData\János doesn't work with most of the wallet softwares).

In this case, I gues you should try to set a different directory for the installer or set the C:\Program Files\Darkcoin folder writable by anyone (for a one time launch when it creates some new files in the folder).

I run over 15 other wallets from this PC & all work flawlessly, Darkcoin was the only wallet I have not been able to use until switching to the binary version. If it is a permissions problem (which I'm sure it isn't), then it should be fixed so that any new user can install it & run it like every other wallet. It is not an isolated case, others have commented about it also - which is why I included their quotes about it. A wallet should be user friendly if it is going to flourish.

Please don't think I'm knocking DRK - quite the opposite, I'm a big fan & have been for some time

What are you refering to as "binary version"? Darkcoin-qt.exe is a binary, darkcoind.exe is a binary too.

[PatMan]

You can download the installer or the binary versions. The installer version is the one that does not work - sorry if I wasn't clear enough

Thanks for the clarification :-)

That's weird though, since both share the same file: md5sum for both darkcoin-qt.exe files are identical. Which implies there is something wrong with the installer and the registry setting it is doing.

[kadrek]

Is this miner still the fastest one? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623409.0

Also, could anyone give me an example of a .bat for two 270x's? I haven't mined in a long time and I think I was using terrible settings. What kind of hashrate can I expect per card?

That's what I think too, it's been like this for the last few versions....

Oh, I wasn't clear, I see. I didn't say the problem is on your end. It's not your fault. I guess it's either the installer or the executable itself which doesn't properly take some facts into account. I proposed a possible workaround idea for the problem. If you continue on testing then you might find the real underlaying problem and/or eliminate other possibilities which can help the developer to fix it...

I will try to use the installer myself.

As dihydrogenmonoxide pointed out, the ending darkcoin-qt.exe's both share the same md5 hash so it is an issue with the installer itself. Worth looking into a different install product.

Hey darkbros so now with this hard fork fiasco how hard do you think DRK price is going to drop? I already got burned buying at the top .0082 (I know I'm an idiot) so I am sincerely asking you people who have made enough money that you don't have any motives for others to buy, or are a genuinely good person. I'm thinking 0.004 in a few weeks time right after the issues get fixed?

Thanks y'all.

[mr_random]

For what reason is a hard fork required or is it trolling?

[luigi1111]

You deserve no attention from this community, you putrid troll !!

There is an ignore feature available.  Perhaps you should use it.  

Then you wouldn't feel compelled to clutter the Darkcoin thread with personal attacks.

Have a nice day.

This new "rise above" persona really cracks me up.

[Libertario]

If Darkwallet have succes why people choose Darkcoin?
Thanks

[thelonecrouton]

If Darkwallet have succes why people choose Darkcoin?
Thanks

Darkcoin

1. Exists
2. Works
3. Isn't a fucking browser plugin talking to a centralised server that you have to trust with your money and your liberty



I think that covers the basics.

[oblox]

Darkwallet is still bound by BTC's confirms and wasn't built to be anonymous from the start. Granted, you could argue with the current issue that DRK is facing, neither are we, but we were designed from the start to be an anonymous currency. With BTC's confirms, DRK would have InstantX. Further, the masternode network still hasn't been tapped as to what kinds of services can be built on top of it. You can actually earn revenue from running a masternode, something you won't be able to do with Darkwallet or BTC for that matter. Finally, Darkwallet still remains a centralized, browser based platform, not something I am willing to risk money with.

i don't have a Crystal ball but I think it will depend on these factors:

a) how fast Evan and the dev team comes up with a security patch
b) If 'a' will require hard fork or not
c) In case 'b' is yes then if it will be successful hard fork or not
d) If these will not be additional security vulnerabilities


but i can't give you any specific number out of my ass

No one knows. All things considered, price is holding up pretty well. Difficulty hardly changed and the masternode count hasn't dropped (if anything, it increased). What selling you are seeing are traders. Most true investors that have the coins to move price are already putting them to work in masternodes. It's an unfortunate event, but it will be fixed and DRK will be stronger for it. I am over 2014 though... the forks, the enforcement issues, the masternode exploit, now Darksend being problematic, I can't wait to start 2015 fresh.

I'm quite confused. This is what I've always seen when I go to the download page:



All this time I've just been downloading the "Windows (zip)" file and then wherever I unzip it to, double clicking darkcoin-qt.exe in the \32 directory to run the Darkcoin wallet. I've never had any wallet issues but neither have I known I was running the "binary version", I just assumed there wasn't an installer (which I thought was something that would come eventually when the whole project is out of beta). I downloaded "Windows (zip)" because the other option is "Windows (32-bit)" and I'm running 64-bit so assumed "Windows (32-bit)" would be the wrong version for me.

This is very confusing. As well as getting the installer version issues fixed (as per PatMan's posts), we need far greater clarification around this labelling. There should be a "windows installer" version or a "run directly" version. Non-technical people won't know what all this means. It's probably one of the reasons why someone like Bagholder010 (who had the 14K DRK on Mintpal and got another 14K DRK during the V2 shenanigans) doesn't know how to use a wallet on his PC; it's too complicated having odd terminology like this. The wallet should be easily downloadable by noobs and non-technical people with an easy upgrade process that actively assists people to ensure they don't write over their wallet.dat. The labelling on what's being downloaded needs to be much clearer and consistent. The techo/boffin aspects around the wallet are still way too dominant for widespread adoption.

Why would you choose 2015 as an arbitrary bandage to all problems? Just curious.

WTF does anyone need an installer for
