so when can we exspect to see an up to date https://drk.mn/masternodes.html again so we can check upon our MN's ?
and is there another way to check if our hot MN wallet is running correctly ? (I'm using Flare's trustless hosting service)

edit : also 4 links on page 1 are not working anymore for sometime now ... are they getting replaced by working ones ?

We are working on it, I mean Elbereth for sure, for as much as his free time allows for it.
Indeed he does it for free but we all use his service, lets show some appreciate and donate some coins to kick the service forward and to thank him for all his work guys.
Elbereth`s drk addy: http://chainz.cryptoid.info/drk/address.dws?Xbon36F261wXDL4p1CEZAX28t8U4ayR9uu.htm

If there were more posts in the middle I would bump this

Just want to add that it is not only the countless hours that go into maintaining that site. Elbereth pays a lot for that server!

Call to all Russians around!!

Can someone please confirm if VK.COM is big over there? We have been asked to include this in the website community page:
https://vk.com/DRK_RUS

The only Russian I speak/drink is vodka, so I'm a bit limited to know if this is important enough.

Yes, VK.COM is huge in not only Russia but in the entire Post-Soviet sphere. Here is a recent piece about them in coin telegraph:

Someone else with a problem like mine. MN working yesterday, this morning was missing in the list(masternode list | grep IP), run it with remote wallet - work, after about 4-5 hours I get the same situation ,  restart the machine and started again from the remote wallet -for now is working   . This is after latest update to 10.16.6(I make it from Tao`s guide like before now).Thx

There are other good reasons to use a VPN besides privacy:

-Security of the connection. You can't always trust the internet connection you are using. With a VPN the connection becomes irrelevant because you are connecting from the VPN server and all traffic to and from it is encrypted between both machines. Many companies force their employees on the road to use a VPN for this reason.

-Access to certain secured resources. Some companies user their own VPNs and you can't connect to certain network resources unless you are routing your traffic through those servers. This way they can close those resources to all other IP addresses and secure them more effectively. This is less relevant for most of us, but if you need to do this some VPN vendors (including TorGuard) can also sell you a dedicated IP to configure something similar.

-Geolocated content. As someone has said before, with a VPN you can pretend to connect from anywhere. This is quite nice to access geolocated content. For this I have been using Unblock-us (http://www.unblock-us.com/2775.html) for quite some time. They only do this, but they do it extremely well. You can cange the DNS server in your router and forget about it. They only mess with your traffic to geolocated sites.

-Torrenting. I won't go into what you are torrenting. Even if you are downloading perfectly legal things to torrent, this a behaviour that raises many alarms in ISPs. Hiding it from them can't hurt

That was a really good read, cheers

Talking about security, just found out interesting android app - IMSI Catcher/Spy Detector,

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422969

Seems that developer is aware of Darkcoin capabilities and is using it as a donation adress.

"Q: What is an IMSI catcher?
A: It is a fake cell tower (aka. Base Transceiver Station, BTS) used to track and monitor specific (groups of) people in the near vicinity of that BTS.


In the light of last years highly publicized events in the many Arabic nations and the German state sponsored rootkit discovery, etc etc. It is of the highest priority to start developing anti/counter-spy applications for the people living in rogue states such as Syria, Iran etc. In addition, it may play an important role in finding (and preventing) other rogue applications that attempt to send silent SMS's to high-cost premium services. "

BTS devices are used all over the world, recent news says about using BTS devices from small airplanes in USA but also in Europe, Russia during the riots.

I'm not recommending to install this app to anyone, this just for your awareness !

It is happening to all us, you haven't done something wrong. We'll have a solution soon and it will be posted to all forums. In the meantime you can keep restarting or just forget for a few hours and solve later.

I think v.16.6 dropping from list may be a cosmetic bug. I reverted 2 nodes back to 15.21 and when I grep all the IP's, they show up as :1, but issuing the same list on 16.6 shows as empty. From a local VM on 16.6, brings back all IP's as :0

I updated and got payed within 2 hours, just dont know if before or after it dropped from the list.

Anyone else can confirm this please?

It could very well be. Yesterday I was paid in a masternode in 16.5 when it didn't show itself in its own masternode list, but appeared in other lists. Today I have received a payment in a masternode in 16.6 that had been restarted some time before and was not in lists sometime after, but I'm not sure when it dropped, so I can't be sure.

For anyone who wants a simple MN (or any wallet for that matter) monitoring tool, SMUT does the job, as well as updates / helps install your MN(s).

https://darkcointalk.org/threads/free-smut-simple-masternode-update-tool.2700/ - latest version is v44, link at end of thread. It's basic but I find it useful.

You'll need python installed.

I think the output formatting is a bit wonky on Windows, I don't use Windows so don't really know, but it might be of use to you. Also if someone could send me a screenshot of what it looks like on Win I might be able to fix it.

That looks really neat. I'll send win screenshot later, there seems to be something wrong with my python installation, besides being long unused, but I have to go now and can't test.

Ghost, I think you were right. I have 16.6 masternodes that I can't see but that appear online on elbereth's site and have been paid while they were supposedly down.

They are not down, they just not updated yet.
Nodes that are on new protocol refuse connections from nodes that are on old protocol.

From elbereth on darkcointalk.org :

Updated monitoring v16 nodes to 0.10.16.6 (hint: masternode list is still underpopulated even after peers.dat deletion).

Just for "fun", monitoring as seen by the v15 drkmn01 alone https://drk.mn/masternodes-v15.html
