I wasnt too happy with the latency I was getting with some p2pools I tried. So I made one closer to me. If anyone else would like to connect to a Texas node feel free to try it out,

I REALLY like what is happening with the price from the technical perspective.
This stabilisation is really good. Bought a little bit more

darkcoin is steady but it will rise soon

TAO'S MASTERNODE UPDATE GUIDE FOR DUMMIES updated with simpler firewall that re-starts upon reboot! The old version did not. Thanks, thelonecrouton!

https://darkcointalk.org/threads/taos-masternode-setup-guide-for-dummies.2680/

If anyone would like to switch firewalls to the new version, I will explain how in the update guide on the thread!

Cheers!

I've been having the same problem and I have a server I can use but I haven't gotten around to setting one up. Could u point me to a guide on how to set it up it would be much appreciated

Is it possible to mine DRK still?

I used this guide: http://blog.crahl.ca/p2pool-setup/#comments

But had to include more dependency that I found here: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/how-to-set-up-ec2-t1-micro-ubuntu-for-masternode-part-2-3.241/

Good luck man. One thing I would like to know is how to change the "Node Peers" amount

Of course... it's POW. Whether or not you have the hash power and cheap electric to make it worth while it unknown in your case.

I don't agree, but always is interesting to listen some reasonable criticism about Bitcoin (Bitcoin mining mainly) And think about in relation to DarkCoin.

Wow, I just watched this; lucid, to the point, and impeccable logic! The only point he does not address is the self-interest of the minors as an inhibition to gaining total control. Unfortunately this would not apply to hackers or, more likely, governments absconding with the three to five servers in control of various mining pools. Dowd's gem linking Ghash with Ghostbusters was priceless. Yes, DRK needs to address this issue.

Kevin Dowd is absolutely right, centralised mining is the antithesis of Satoshi's vision and renders PoW worthless.

Until a solution is found, nobody with a clue is going to trust any PoW coin (or more accurately, trust a few centralised pools) with their money. There will be no serious investment from the big bad and DRK is just going to dwindle away into irrelevance. If it doesn't get taken down by external forces first. Which as I keep pointing out, would cost an attacker peanuts.

[oly1]

It's because of last version of wallet. It's filling debug.log very quickly so it is possible to fill your hard up. Restart the daemon and debug.log will start from 0.

You seem like a strong enough character, come up with a solution, form a working group, assess the impact to the existing infrastructure and present it to the project team...

Tante, yeah it's probably your debug.log file. Try stopping darkcoind, deleting debug.log, restarting. Also, I think the version on github now has fixed this issue, so even better compile and use that after deleting your debug.log.

I have already suggested mandatory p2pool use, having found blocks signed by p2pool nodes and validated by Masternodes as a way of enforcing distributed mining, with unsigned blocks being orphaned. Most of the code for such a scheme already exists, it's how Masternodes validate each other.

You could also use Masternodes to verify how much of the total nethash any one pool has and have a cutoff, or do away with PoW altogether and have Masternodes alone maintain the blockchain, there are many potential ways of doing it, but nobody is interested in admitting the problem, let alone discussing and addressing it.

OK, but the devil is always in the detail.  What's going to be the actual impact of moving to this solution?  Thinking of all the moving parts, what is the journey we would need to go on to end up with a scenario such as that?

Is the cost and impact of this journey less than all the benefits gained?

Is the cost and impact of this journey less than all the benefits gained?

The actual impact is that we would no longer have all our Darkcoin vulnerable to the 'security' of 3 servers.

Evan is going the right way I think with the block reward structure, and assuming InstanTX works reliably dependence on miners is going to diminish greatly, but as long as blocks can be generated by centralised pools the coin remains intrinsically insecure.

The cost of my proposed solution is a rewrite of the p2pool code to make sure it can cope with the demands placed upon it and to include privkeys for each p2pool node, with a corresponding check on the Masternode side. Whatever that cost is, within reason, it's worth it IMO to have an actually decentralised consensus system with no easily targeted centralised points of failure.

What are your DRK going to be worth if those 3 servers ever get compromised? Bugger all, very quickly, I think.

Remember not too long ago when the whole PSN got taken down for weeks by a few script kiddies from 4chan? Do you really think a serious adversary is going to struggle with a few shitty mpos servers? Assuming some unpleasant people don't just come physically knocking at the door.
