[ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | DarkSend Anonymous Technology Pre-Alpha Launch

[eduffield]

Testing commences at 7PM EST tonight, come join us!

The public testing and improvement phase of the DarkSend technology officially begins right now .

Add these lines to your configuration:

Code:

addnode=54.80.16.112
testnet=1
debug=1

This is alpha software, expect bugs and other problems. Just report the bugs you find and we’ll take care of them.

You can begin by reading the instructions below, there’s a bit of a learning curve because this works very differently from the way normal transactions work.

DarkSend uses a pool of transactions, currently POOL_MAX_TRANSACTIONS is set to 3. This means it will wait for 3 transactions before “darksending” them. Being that you can only send 1 transaction through the pool at a time, you will need to wait for someone else on the network to send another darksend transaction. If you don't want to wait, you can send multiple darksend transactions with multiple clients.

There are 3 new commands that are added to the API. To test these features from the QT client, open the debug console:

• darksend Xaddress amount  : Add transaction to the darksend pool. This returns the current sessionID
• getpoolinfo pool_no: Show pools current status
• getdarksendtxid sessionID: After a DarkSend round completes this will return the TxID

Code:

		
2= accepting inputs, 3 = accepting outputs, 4=signing,  5=transmission
{
    "state" : 2,
    "session_id": 1005,                      
    "pooled_inputs" : 0,
    "pooled_outputs" : 0,
    "pooled_signatures" : 0,
    "my_transactions" : 0
}

Known issues:

• Sent inputs go into unconfirmed: The input value - the value you sent will appear as “unconfirmed” until the next block is mined. Just ignore it

-------- Want coins to send? -------------

Post your testnet address or mine some blocks. Blocks are set to mature with 3 confirmations, so it shouldn’t take long to get coins.

--------- Addresses to send to -----------------------------

Any testnet address will work with darksend, but you can use any of the following if you don’t want to generate them.

[Acidyo]

Good job devs! Not able to alpha test tthis right now cause I'm not at home, but hopefully others will.

This is gonna be an awesome feature to the coin once it's working properly.
Wish I could've been able to buy more coins.

There's only 11 blocks mined on testnet, shouldn't take long. Sure you turned on testnet and added the node?

yes it is in [testnet] but no block sources available, still stuck three weeks ago. I'm running the client with the datadir flag, but all seems fine, there's the testnet3 subfolder below my usual data files... but no syncing.

[anonymousxx1503]

Hell yeah, DarkCoin doubters beware, this gon' be gud

[VanBreuk]

Is the node running properly?

I was not receiving anything, I re-checked software version and rebooted, and the general client window now suggests an update or warns node updates may be necessary... has anyone else received a testnet transaction already?

Edit: re-booting system and double checking daemon and everything. Will come back later.

Did not get anything :|
Is anyone mining in testnet to include transactions in blocks?

[eduffield]

Any actually tried darksend yet? I haven't seen any transactions go through.

You use it with the console, like this:

darksend mtdPqzvMdxMxZAy9FYN26HjjBvUiYbYLAx 10   -- to make a payment of 10

or

getpoolinfo  -- to get the state of the pool

With the daemon, you use it like this:


./darkcoind --daemon
./darkcoind darksend mtdPqzvMdxMxZAy9FYN26HjjBvUiYbYLAx 10
./darkcoind getpoolinfo

I just had a flashback to getting bankrupted during monopoly. I severed blood ties because of that game.

Hi eduffield,

would love to help testing but executable don't fire up.
Do they need to be x64 arch? Would this explain them not doing anything at all?

Maybe they're all just making sure there's not some loophole to send testdrk to the real drk wallet!   

[phm]

I just realized I was using wrong client the whole time. Can't execute the provided binary because it's for different Ubuntu release and library versions don't match. eduffield, can you compile the test wallet with static libraries?

[eduffield]

Yes it's x64

[blaaaaacksuit]

eduffield, any eta on windows qt?

[eduffield]

Can everyone testing please redownload the qt-client from this link:

http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/alpha/darkcoin-qt

And don't use the daemon for the time being.

I just fixed a serious bug that was causing us issues with darksend

[TanteStefana]

Hi, I want to help, but don't have much time.  I downloaded the pre-compiled version for ubuntu and when I try to run it, I get an error:

./darkcoin-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libminiupnpc.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I run everything locally, I never installed any miners or anything, don't know if that matters?

Exciting stuff! Hats off to you guys!

As soon as there is a Windows wallet, I'll get testing!  (as long as it doesn't mess with my real wallet...lol)

Congrats guys!  If you guys get this working, and working right, I can even see some big press picking up on this.  I'll tip BBC haha.

Sorry, I had to go   Something is wrong with my computer, when I do the "sudo apt-get install -y build-essential m4 libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev git automake libcurl4-openssl-dev" it can't find anything.  I suspect I have too many things running and it's on the verge of crashing, LOL.  Ugh, probably means I have to re-boot but I don't want to  deal with it   Gotta see if ya'all got a windows version running (it' won't mix with the real darkcoin wallet will it?)

[TanteStefana]

I know everyone is probably asleep right now, but I'm hoping someone can help.  I rebooted my ubuntu and I still cant apt-get anything.  I noticed this yesterday or something, I'd do a "sudo apt-get update" and there would be no output, just:

Reading package lists... Done

and very quickly, so I doubt it really did anything.  When ever I try to apt-get install anything, it tells me it can't find the repositories.  Has anyone ever had such a problem?  I can't imagine how I broke this!  Ugh!

Thanks for any help

Try checking your /etc/apt/sources.list file and see if it has the standard repos in it.

[eduffield]

I'm in the midst of fixing some bugs, so the node's protocol version is ahead of most of you. It won't work till I release again (maybe in the morning)

Please redownload the qt client if you would like to continue testing, it should be more stable

[TanteStefana]

Son of a BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB.......  The permissions weren't set!  GRRRRR       

Nevermind

All working, will start mining as soon as it syncs.   

[onetime]

Well, it works.

way to go, devs! DarkSend is going to be awesome! 

-onetime

[TanteStefana]

Could you please tell me where to put the config file?  Should I just name it darkcoin.config ?  Also, I started mining, and it was  hooking up to the real darkcoin mining.  Same block number, same difficulty, I assume the config file fixes that?

Ubuntu running locally in a folder on my desktop

Oh, it's ok, I found it in my home folder

[TanteStefana]

Ok, I have yet another problem.

I start the wallet, let it sync, all is well.

I close the wallet, save the conf file in the .darkcoin file, then reopen the wallet.

Now the wallet says it's 3 weeks behind and won't sync!

If I delete the .darkcoin file contents except the conf file, I still have it 3 weeks behind and not able to sync.

Perhaps, when it does sync, it syncs with the real wallet???

I also tried just deleting the testnet folder, and no joy there either

I found it easier to just give necessary arguments in command line to avoid confusion:

./darkcoin-qt -testnet -debug -addnode=23.22.165.148

It looks like it uses the default .darkcoin datadir, so I just backed up my real datadir and started with empty one. Tried to force it to use different directory with -datadir=<directory> option, but this did not work, no idea why.

Try reading the title of the thread.

This is a pre-alpha -- i.e. the testing phase of said tech... If you can't read then spare us and troll elsewhere.

I'm working out some bugs that were found yesterday thanks to all of you! So the node is going to be ahead of your protocol version or turned off, I'll let you know after when the next version is ready

Sorry.  Didn't realize I need a Linux wallet to participate.  I am installing linux now just for this purpose and will post linux wallet address once installed.

[eduffield]

***Phase 1 of testing is over! Thanks for helping out. I'll work on the problems we found and re-open testing when I'm done (soon).***

[HammerHedd]

Standing by for the test tonight!

Thanks. I'll be watching live.

[Acidyo]

Will this thread be re-opened for v2 testing or will you make a new one?

[danonthehill]

Phase 2 testing will happen tonight 9pm EST and will be on this thread.

Get your wallets from the link at the beginning of this thread.  Please don't forget me,  I missed out on phase 1:  my test-net  Ubuntu qt address: XmAfd9PCZUM59mGJ6FC7aCgBKbJR7qjExa

Will get the windows qt when it becomes available.

[eduffield]

We are moving the next DarkSend alpha testing phase to Wednesday Feb 19th @ 9PM EST, to make sure we ensure that everyone has the best user experience and we get all of the small bugs fixed that were found last week during testing.

[TrollboxChamp]

Will there be a compiled windows client to test?

Apologies, but MinGW gives me fits...

Yes.

awesome!

Also, I'm running a Linux instance, too (yes, I'll be sending myself coins) and I had a Linux noob question:

Where does the Darkcoin-QT executable go? I mean, in which directory? I can chmod it in place in the download directory, but I suspect that';s really not where I should be doing it. As a corollary to that question: where does darkcoin.conf go?

[eduffield]

Soon we will begin testing the alpha, to help please follow these instructions:

1. If you’ve ran the alpha before please clear ~/.darkcoin/testnet3 or ~/AppData/Darkcoin/testnet3
2. If you’re new, you’ll need to read and follow instructions on the first post to setup the config

Download the client:

Windows: http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/alpha/darkcoin-qt.exe
Ubuntu 64x: http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/alpha/darkcoin-qt
Ubuntu 64x: http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/alpha/darkcoind


For the commands and how everything works please read: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=467857.0


Known issues:

Sent inputs go into unconfirmed: The input value - the value you sent will appear as “unconfirmed” until the next block is mined. Just ignore it
“insufficient funds” messages, try larger or smaller values. I’ll fix this before next release

[eduffield]

Join us in #darkcoin-test, we're sending each other coins @freenode

I have entered the code in the windows qt debug console and get:

That was a successfully merged transaction created by the pooling code. There are 2 inputs and 4 outputs from 2 separate clients on the testnet. All looks good!

All inputs are split between two outputs, one to the destination and one to the change address (back to yourself).

[eduffield]

We're shutting down testing and it was a great success! Thanks for all of the help

You're quite welcome.. thanks for the opportunity to help out!

Ahh I was out to dinner during the testing! Awesome to see that it went so well!

I'll be keeping an eye out for further tests!

[hill]

nice

[matt608]

When is the next round of testing?

[eduffield]

When is the next round of testing?

I've fixed most of the issues we were encountering (the transactions for 0.00DRK showing up, etc) and now I'm working on the anonymity part. I should have something testable this upcoming week, I'll announce a date soon.

[mattmct]

Just read the announcement on the main thread, super excited to be part of this next test tomorrow.

Just one concern, there isn't any chance I could mess up my main Darkcoin wallet / blockchain etc is there?  I don't want to loose my coins of course lol.

I'll be running Windows, do we add

addnode=23.22.165.148
testnet=1
debug=1

to the config file in \AppData\Roaming\DarkCoin\ ? or another folder?

Thanks.

Nope, you won't lose your coins. However, you should have your wallet.dat backed up somewhere. Not really for the test, but just because it's a good idea.

You'll add those lines to Darkcoin\darkcoin.conf, then when you start the program it will build out Darkcoin\testnet3 and operate in that folder

[eduffield]

Testing commences at 7PM EST tonight (the 28th), come join us!

Yep, you're correct.

[eltito]

So if anyone on Windows is as slow as I am:

1. Download the latest wallet
2. Open cmd prompt
3. Run the following command: <path_to_your_wallet>\darkcoin-qt -addnode=54.80.16.112 -testnet=1 -debug=1
4. Let wallet sync

[eduffield]

Testing went fantastic. I'm going to shut it down and I'll make some executables for mainnet, maybe tomorrow/sunday.

Thanks for the help everyone!

What's the difference between DarkSend and mainstream mixing options?

Trustless

[Entusiasta]

I wonder if other x11 currencies besides Darkcoin will benefit from Darksend?
