    croutonrant #237 - the happy happy dream of decentralised mining!

    I am more than willing to be a guinea pig. If I can follow your directions, it should be easy for anybody. I agree that the current situation is long-term untenable. I am working with a Lenovo T-60 laptop with 2gig of RAM and running Arch Linux

    Foundation Board meeting question

    Do we have a time and venue for the first meeting? This is probably the first thing that needs to be settled. That and the agenda. Oh, and some general security protocols would be a good idea. I don't mind showing my face (ugly as it is;-) but I would hope we could be reasonably sure any record...

    Kyle Hagan is no longer part of the development team

    Nice idea Red-shinobi, on the other hand, I'm not sure I like the idea of an Ape being worth more than a duff. Hmm... but then a Grant is worth more than a Washington.:confused:

    The Darkcoin Foundation Is Open for Business

    My dear Foundation friends, I would like to express my gratitude for the decision to set the bar for annual foundation membership at 10.0 DRK. While I expect and hope that three years (or less) from now, that may represent over $1000.00, at this point it is quite reasonable. I have been...

    Greatness that does not know grief is not true greatness. Stay the course Evan,the ultimate reward is not riches--it is character, May yours continue to grow.

    Feature - 2 Factor Authentication

    I whole-heartedly agree, HammerHedd! The "something you know-something you have" model of security is the way to go (IMHO). I too appreciate the OTP approach that yubikey has implemented, and like you, have some doubts about its direct implementation into DRK. In addition to the potential of...

    Extended Darkcoin Team

    I don't know about "fair" but it is certainly humble--the first requirement for a good leader. Humility without competence will attract competent help--competence without humility leads to working alone.

    Feature - 2 Factor Authentication

    After watching this video it seems quite feasible (in an abstract, not knowing what I am talking about way) that the "browser" could be replaced by a wallet, and the "website" with a masternode. What do you all think? https://www.duosecurity.com/u2f Edit: This site answers my questions to my...

    Feature - 2 Factor Authentication

    As Darkchild mentioned a bit ago, FIDO seems to hold promise. I have really appreciated my Yubikey, and the freedom it gives me to walk into an Internet cafe and not have to worry about my passwords being sniffed. On the other hand, it is something of a concern that their servers must be...

    Roadmap - Plans for the next release

    I always did prefer the dark meat... OK, I think it's past my bedtime:confused:

    Roadmap - Plans for the next release

    Well if we want to skip the DW associations and maintain the other, we could just jump to "Dark Negligee Edition."

    Roadmap - Plans for the next release

    Hmm... dark revolutionaries seeking to overthrow the existing order of suppression by a willingly ignorant and complicit majority... no you're right we're nothing like that.:rolleyes:

    Roadmap - Plans for the next release

    Carbonado is another great name, but remember, we are all hoping this will be a short-lived edition, soon to be replaced by ones featuring instantx and IP obfuscation. IMHO we should save the really good names for more mature releases.

    Feature - 2 Factor Authentication

    It may be a fine system, and I certainly not qualified to critique it. My concern is if you can be identified with a device or public key you must trust to some extent those who can make that identification. For those living in "free" societies, with some measure of due process, things are fine...

    Feature - 2 Factor Authentication

    In reference to my last post above; I have been impressed with my Yubikey, but still must trust yubico servers. On the other hand, FIDO may have some promise if the devices can be obtained anonymously. The following quotes are from: https://www.yubico.com/applications/fido/ "Universal 2nd...

    Feature - 2 Factor Authentication

    Hmm... if I understand this link correctly (https://www.authy.com/what-is-authy) it requires your giving up your cell number. Not exactly a system I would want to use to access my DRK!

    Feature - 2 Factor Authentication

    Another brilliant stroke of insight Evan, congratulations and thank you. This addresses what has been my primary concern with DRK up to this point, and sounds like it might be functionally equivalent to a solution I had hoped for; a DRK wallet along the lines of Bitcoin Armory. Armory's...

    Roadmap - Plans for the next release

    Indeed, wonderful news! As far as name suggestions go, I suggest that we remember we are still early in the development cycle. Obscurum, or Obscurinium, (In keeping with our mineral theme) is a wonderful idea, but suggest we save it for a more mature release. Since the focus here seems to be on...

    OK thanks, that gives me some more to think about. Got to run.

    v0.10.16 - Onyx v2

    Thank you oblox. Have you got a sample link for the tutorials you mention? Should I forgo spending time on Python, and dive straight into C++?
