Hey Knievel, your hack has already earned yourself just short of half a masternode up to now. If, while drinking your coffee, you can think of an easy-to-implement solution that gets rid of the temporary reference node without resorting to solutions Evan already mentioned while still assuring...

Brilliant! You summarized all suggestions beautifully into a possible solution. Let me put some bullet points to it for clarity: any masternode owner can split excess coins off the 1000 drk vin into a separate address on the masternode hot wallet, as long as he keeps at least 1000 drk in the...

Actually, I wouldn’t care too much about volume and how to get right now. We need to build the p2p exchange technology first. Volume will follow. Nobody in his right mind will ever be able to trust a centralized exchange again. Thanks to Mark K., who really deserves his place in the Guinness...

Early, but once drk gets more attention your skills will be very appreciated.

yes, clearer :) thanks. You're right. Pitty we don't have the volume yet. But maybe the first decentralised exchange would give us that? ok, I'll go back to thinking how to leverage the existing exchanges into a decentralised system. Still not clear how to do that :what:

So Cofresi spend half his weekend with a bottle of aged dominican rum, the voices in my head speaking of nothing but a decentralised drk exchange... Mind having a very close look and tell me exactly what flaws you see and what could be wrong with this: Cofresi's simple in-wallet btc/drk p2p...

Nemo, I didn't know about ATs and I'm very grateful you came here and told us about this exciting stuff. They indeed are an ingenious creation and do have innovative potential for the crypto world. So the short answer to your question is: yes. The slightly longer and more technical answer is...

Thank god you don't know :). You know what would happen if we'd ask people who actually program stock exchanges if we could run them in masternodes? Some would shake their heads in dismay, while most of them would probably explode with laughter. That's because no single one of them would have a...

Sir Crouton mentions an very important practical aspect of p2p exchanges. More "effort" in p2p trading is maybe acceptable in case you are selling and buying goods. Especially not easy to come by goods. But for a currency exchange? Imagine having to wait for a human arbiter to intervene and...

What if the abitration is automated by the masternodes? What if they are the 3rd party? See my previous post with my link to the "God Protocols" by Szabo. What if a random subset of masternodes could become a reliable source of automated checking functions, protocol enforcers. There could be...

We have another killer argument why they should work with us and integrate drk: a huge advantage in Darkcoin will be the masternodes consensus system which Evan will develop for InstantX. The same or a similar mechanism could be used for automated arbiters. Even for automatical bid ask matching...

Basically it's a lot of work and they are looking for 2 more full time Java devs themselves just to advance their project. Stonehedge it would be very useful you go talk to them. And I think you'd be very welcome. They are thinking about a strategy to approach alts for integration to let the...

Neat. Very nice find Tunga! Quote from their whitepaper: "A crypto-crypto exchange could be build in a real trustless way, so no arbitration and none of the other protection mechanisms are needed. The main problem would be how to connect without too much effort to a huge variety of different...

Ok, thanks for trying to explain. So if I understand correctly the difference is that in 1.) only a single entity need to respect it, while in 2.) the whole network needs a consensus and we have a byzantine generals problem all over again. Still can't follow you completely. Would need to study...

Evan, please forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand how you can expect a subset of masternodes can function as an authority in the case of InstantX when at the same time you say that they cannot be trusted in case of signing messages for masternode payments. Instead in the latter case we...

Hmmm.... to start off for our internal use so to speak and before releasing it to the open, why not keep it quick and dirty and then build up on that? I think we could use an existing escrow solution with arbiters and implement automated trustless arbiters powered by masternodes at a later...

Very off topic but just to comment on silent circle: Their "PrivateOS" is open source. But what about the Baseband OS and the SIM Card OS? I guess not. Blackphone secures data only at the application level, which truly is already a big step forward. As a selling point their CEO likes to mention...

It was invented and built for camosoul. And his left nut.

Alex, you're of course right that service provider love to easily bill their customers. But who cares about them any more? The whole point of my analogy with premium 2-way SMS and value added services was precisely to illustrate the potential for cryptocurrencies like Darkcoin to by-pass service...

I have another good one: the real Ebay killer: live online auctions. Wow, I think just watching them would be a real alternative for many a housewife to the latest afternoon soap. The technology would be perfect for youtube too. Once Shopping-TV will have found its way over there.
