So deposits made after this last one of 100.10 DRK on 6/16, will likely be in Node 4 if your deposit kicked it over 1000DRK, and deposits like the last one above, made on or before 6/16 are in Nodes 2 or 3. Based on your deposit date and/or Trx ID above, this should tell you which node you're in when until the spreadsheets go out tomorrow.

Could you tell me what node I am a part of? I didn't see my transaction in the list you posted here

My transaction ID is:
7b116016a78cbeacbaf8ec1f674a78c029aacfdd3acfaa13c02a1993d020c163

I PM'd you on reddit a few days ago but you don't seem to check those as often.

[Mike6099]

As an update my coinbase coins should clear by Friday and will be able to transfer to crypsy then to exchange to DRK to complete the needed 250.  Any updates on further MN's?  Looks like we have a full crew for another.

Nice Post~ Hope everything goes well~

Hi, DZ,

I'd also like to know some more details. How is the progress with the master nodes, etc.

Please reserve some time to give us feedback.

Cheers.

[masterof101010]

wtf is going on ? ...

I have BTC coming in Monday to buy my 250 DRK with but uh, there's good's I wouldnt mind spending part of it on and I have no idea whats going on with this project.

Is there a MN which I can be a 25% investor?  I need to know this and I asked originally like 5 day's ago.  Please somebody update me as best you can.

Thanks

[Jesse Livermore]

My guess is his time us being taken up with technical issues again with the nodes?
He posted this to the Darkcoin Reddit 5 days ago:
http://www.reddit.com/r/DRKCoin/comments/2a0nlg/database_rebuilt_on_local_wallet_now_cold_wallet/
Hoping he still does payouts on the 15th.

O I didn't mean DZ specifically, just anyone that's part of running the show that might know more.

I'm sure DZ is up to his balls in work so I don't mean to be rude to him.

Very quiet - no news is good news?

[CripLib]

Very quiet - no news is good news?

It's not good news at all. It's a community project, such lack of communication should not happen. I'm sorry to say, it's not correct.

DyslexicZombei has never connected again since July 06, but even DZ's partner, "thomas_s", who whenever I check is always online, has NEVER replied to my PMs.

The idea for this service is great, but there seems to be nothing good coming from here, and (even if they reappear tomorrow, and even bring us payouts) I do not want to continue. (edited, for the moment, as long as we work together for a necessary contingency plan. This service is very important. I agree that it just needs improvements after all)

I do not believe they are going to run away, because there's not this much money involved: reputation value still matters, but unfortunately things went the way they are until now.

[bregge]

Does anyone know the IP of node 4 and can PM'ed to me? The Spreedsheet link I received from DZ is not working on TOR.

[rentahash]

Lets all calm down and wait for DZ.
I m confident that he ll explain in detail how this lack of communication / TOR link not working, happen.

Little patience... but I can agree that it is weird for over a week not having any feedback.

[raganius]

Hello, my friends, according to the people at the Darkcoin Talk, it is possible that DZ is in a holiday trip.

Please, have a look at the Darkcoin Talk discussion thread here: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/dyslexiczombeis-darkcoin-community-masternode-services.1780

That's why I used the question mark.
I'm still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, until evidence shows otherwise.
What if DZ got in an accident, was in the hospital, or had a family emergency?
That tumblr link/road trip - I don't know what to think.
If he's so busy, why would he go on an unannounced vacation?
Not sure if it even belongs to him.

thomas_s not replying to PMs is disconcerting, agree.

First payouts should be due in the next 6 hours. It's only from a few days of operations so they're not very large, of course. Projected over a year, however, and the returns look like the inverse of the kind of loan you wouldn't want to be responsible for paying, even without any DRK price movement upwards. It's quite an interesting way of earning funds just from holding cryptocurrency one hopes that you meant to keep anyway:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=626715.msg7006991#msg7006991

Thank you everyone for bearing through this rough introductory period. With the written guides out there all catering to single wallet setups, I ran into all kinds of problems trying to scale up, and I just had to take on the obstacles one at a time to get to where my understanding of multiple cold wallet setups is today.

It really didn't help that at the same time I got busy with nodes this is the most work I've seen at my day job in several years, which was a blessing and a curse. I don't recommend 1 day off a month. It's probably not too good for you. So glad to have shipped product earlier today. I'm sure I'll have to deal with more work around it (spec. paperwork) but I can focus some time to help others get their full nodes going. A good sized chunk of reservations of Batch 1 Full Node reservations have also patiently decided to wait to launch their nodes until we can meet in person, so that's great news for those in Batch 1 or 2 of Full Node reservations.

You'll need to download the Tor bundle if you want secure, private access to your spreadsheet. I have to do this approach if we're going to respect people's rights to privacy and to those who do not want to have a centralized source somewhere (like Dropbox and its competitors) have possible access to this info/file.

Also: anyone know the best way to track mining output of nodes on the web over time? This is useful info for everyone. Also a heads up: I do have family coming down so I could possibly go camping or something fun like that for a few days in the near future but before the next payout on the 16th.

Need to take a small break to recharge. The nodes are operating well, but I'll be sure to check notifications are set up correctly before I go.

He told everyone he was going on vacation....

Thank you for reminding us of this post.

Although I do not believe DZ would make anything stupid (It would make no sense / So many posters have put their trust on him), I still cannot agree with this communication failure.

If he knew he was going to be absent from here, DZ should have had his partner thomas_s to respond here. It would be not only obvious, but also natural. The thing is that even thomas_s does not reply our PMs!

I repeat what I have said earlier: I have no intention to continue in this service like this. Even if DZ comes today (or tomorrow) makes the payouts, and brings spreadsheets, I am sorry, but I quit. No matter if I have to pay the 1.5% fee. (edited, for the moment, as long as we work together for a necessary contingency plan. This service is very important. I agree that it just needs improvements after all)

Now, if the situation gets worse, then we must act.

[raganius]

The service idea is good, and important. It is not a matter of quitting it. It just needs to become "trustless" in order to be "riskless".

This is starting to be in discussion here: http://www.reddit.com/r/DRKCoin/comments/2aopdl/trustless_coin_leasing_system_that_would_allow

If this feature is implemented, it will be a wonderful achievement to the Darkcoin Community.

But while this trustless coin leasing system is not available, maybe it is possible to use something like a "Split Wallet" (see how bitaddress.org does it) or "Shamir's Secret Sharing" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir's_Secret_Sharing )

UPDATE:

I have just received a reply from DZ's partner as follows:

Hi CripLib,

I was never fully brought on board for the darkcoin masternodes and don't actively participate in it / have never, while I was planning on it I was never contacted with what I needed to do.

--Thomas

My reply:

--Thomas

Thank you, Thomas, for your reply. I am so sorry that it took so long for you to clarify it. I'll let the community know it.

Can you please help us get in touch with DZ, or at least understand what is going on with him. as he has been your partner for such a long time, as it seems, it is natural that you are possible to help as here.

Thnak you.

What we can do now:

(inappropriate reactions deleted. excuse me)

 Let's exchange PMs. let's act.

[luigi1111]

I haven't been following this thread at all, but he (DZ) just disappeared?

The next payout was scheduled for tomorrow, right? I'd probably not do anything until then?

Also, are the involved Masternodes known? As in, are they all still there, etc.? If so, he hasn't really done anything wrong yet, just disappeared (I agree, disappearing is "bad", but I don't think there's anything illegal about it?).

Yes, you're right, luigi1111. Let's wait. It's too early.

Is it clear that DZ is a scammer and not just dead or in hospital or something?

FWIW, I sent DZ 750 DRK and then decided to increase my DRK holdings and set up my own masternode myself. I requested a refund of the 750 DRK stake and received it within 48 hours. Maybe I was just lucky, I don't know. Just feel like I should post that here.

Yes, ddink7 is right. It's early to make assumptions: It would make no sense that DZ acted dishonestly, he had a lot to earn as MasterNode admin, and he has shared so much of his personal info.

I am sure something unexpected happened to DZ and everything will be fine in the end.

[Jesse Livermore]

Too early. DZ's communication sucks and he should have told Thomas what's up but this is not criminal yet by any means.
