errmm.. now here is a real newb Windo$e question: I have made a build of Bitcoindark-qt, but I seem to be unable to access the File and Settings functions. I would expect them to be the same as in bitcoin. Did my build screw up the drop down menus with the access to the wallet file functions? Or is Bitcoind-qt not supposed to have these? BitcoinDarkd accessed with RPC should have them, but can anyone give me a hint just to be sure? as opposed to: Thanks! it does have the File and Settings, so some sort of option or build problem is my guess

I have made a build of Bitcoindark-qt, but I seem to be unable to access the File and Settings functions.
This happens to me occasionally on Ubuntu with various QT wallets. Restarting the client usually fixes it.

I do own some BTCD, Am I then one of the stakeholders? I am still fuzzy on the details.
Jim
As long as you keep the wallet open and unlock to stake then you are one of the stakeholders. The point is to keep the network as secure as possible and only people staking can make that happen. Along with gaining more BTCD, the dividend is pretty much an incentive since so much of SuperNET will be riding on BTCD. There is also mention of checking how long each user stakes to determine fairness of dividend so that opening the wallet once a month for a few hours doesn't gain the same benefit as someone that always keeps theirs' open. Basically, you are rewarded twice over for keeping the wallet open and staking. NICE... However it says the dividends will be paid to an associated nxt addy? how does that work. you pick a public BTCD address to use. It doesnt have to have much BTCD in it. The software will automatically map this address to a NXT address (using its privkey), then it will make a NXT alias so that you can use the same public BTCD address even inside NXT James James, Thank you much for answering. My only question left is: How do I 'pick a public BTCD address to use'? And I assume I want to use the addy that holds all my btcd. unless you want to impress girls, the public address should probably have a minimal amount of btcd. now you can still impress the girls by showing your big acct in private edit: just make a new address and it is your public address, or you can just use the address you have already been using. I am just nervous to publish accts with any big amounts in them Ok, now I am confused, How does it know I am staking X amount of coins if the addy I publish is empty? edit: Example: 1. John has 1200 BTCD in a personal wallet and the wallet is currently staking at approx 5% year. 2. John wants to publish his addy so he can receive the extra income from superNet to btcd stakeholders. Question1. HOW does he publish his address? Question2. How does the program know he is staking 1200 coins if the address he publishes is a new one? Jim sorry for all the questions, trying to understand what is going on. I cannot find documentation other then the white paper and infomationsl PDF on superNet site.

We are considering BTCD to be added in the very first days of the release at: Coin Market App Let your voices be heard about getting BitcoinDark (BTCD) added into the mobile app. Think we can compile a list of links to show up when people click on 'BitcoinDark' Link Directory? Please feel free to tell us in the thread what should be added at Coin Market App ..

Why does it already have over 200pages and has been growing much faster than BTCD. I did come on here to fight. I like BTCD, I think they can work well together. I took a look when they first launched and labeled it a BTCD wannabe. But in the spirit of Unity I guess it wouldn't hurt to take a second look see JJ I took a look at it a week or two ago (sometime during their pump) and didn't see any new tech/innovation. Unless something has changed, it looks like they are just playing off of the popularity of BTCD. Either way, who wants LitecoinDark when you have BitcoinDark? I mean, would you rather own Litecoin or Bitcoin? As a random side note, I would love nothing more than to see Litecoin get dethroned from its 2nd place in market cap. It's held onto that place for far too long and I believe it no longer deserves it, especially with all the new innovations that are out there.

To testers, I pushed a new version. Please ./m_unix so we sync to the new version
It has a new API call: ./BitcoinDarkd SuperNET '{"requestType":"getPservers"}'
this triggers the remote node to send: {"requestType":"publishPservers","NXT":"13434315136155299987","Pservers":["209.126.70.159","162.248.163.43","209.126.70.170","209.126.70.156"],"firstPserver":0,"Numpservers":4,"xorsum":2196080243}
In addition to helping synchronize routing, this is also debugging remote API calls.
Over 20 source files have changed, so I hope I didnt break anything. I had to create an entirely new data structure for the IP address oriented data. This is put into a hashtable and linked to the normal account data in its own hashtable. I am having to maintain the privacyServer (Pservers) that all the other nodes know about so that I can make sure to not put it in an onion layer where it wont be able to route. At least for the hops that are not the last hop
To fix the routing problem basically an entirely parallel data structure had to be made. A bunch of other small changes and I am not quite happy with the handshaking, but I think it should be much improved.
Still need to propagate a new node appearing without flooding the network, not sure the best way yet, but slowly things are getting more and more solid and more and more functional

If you are using Ubuntu 14.04.1 with gnome desktop environment, when the BTCD wallet is active, look at top-left corner for File, Settings & Help menu. I was lost for the first time as well. But working perfect for me now.

James said I just publish a BTCD addy that does not have coins in it.. How then does the payment system know how much to pay me.. do I also associate the empty btcd addy with the one staking? How is this done..

New BTCD blockchain explorer http://explorebtcd.info/ Still need a lot of things to change. eg. latest transaction and amount. It would be nice to see staked amount with each block. I'm not a dev, doing my best I can with this for the BTCD community. If you visit the site from a mobile phone or tablet with camera, you will be able to use it to scan QR codes and search. I'll try to make a rich list as well. I have no idea how yet, will look for info. Any feedbacks are welcome. BTCDDev please update the OP - Block Explorers. Thanks.

Each staking is thus worth 300/30000 = .01 BTCD. If your addresses staked a total of 55 times, that would be 0.55 BTCD total, but since we dont know who controls what BTCD address, the .55 BTCD would be sent proportionally to each address you have based on the number of times they staked. I hope this is clear enough James

James. I understand how staking works.. Please bear with me.. I must be missing something simple about this... What about the payments above and beyond the normal staking.. from superNet. from this doc http://www.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/5/6/38564127/supernet.pdfIt says that 5% of payments for supernet stuff will go to BTCD stakers--- 5 percent for BTCD stakers, via an associated NXT address ... are the payments above and beyond the normal staking???
