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

[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

Cheers eduffield, I noticed the txt was crossed out yesterday after the reschedule. And it was edited again, but the post date still says the 27th.  Is the test happening again today? (28th?)

Yep, you're correct.

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

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!

Sorry I missed it but I'm psyched that it's going along so well!

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

Trustless

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