    Change Contracts using Atomic Transfers

    Maybe I'm not understanding this, so could someone explain this... Why can't the sender's wallet just categorize any change as non-anonymized funds? Imagine the following scenario. Initial setup: User has set 100 DRK as anonymous (and that 100 DRK has gone through the anonymization process) and...

    1st - DRK Skype - MEET-UP

    Sign me up as well. I would love to participate. Haven't been around much the last month or two, but I would consider myself well-known to the community.

    Development Update - Oct 1, 2014

    I stand corrected, and apologize for my rush without checking the facts. It can be calculated with: ((1/b)*c*d*e)/p = ROI per year b is the total amount of Masternodes c is the amount of blocks per day d is the days in a year e is payment per block won p is the price per MN So with that in...

    Development Update - Oct 1, 2014

    My two reactions to this argument... 1) I don't think it would have a huge effect on demand for MNs (though I could be wrong). My rationale is that $2,500 is not a lot of money... at least there are a sufficient number of people out there with $2,500-3,000 to allow the market to reach...

    Development Update - Oct 1, 2014

    I wanted to add some insight to all the comments on here about "couldn't we just decrease the requirement for MNs to 500 DRK and double the number?" or "is increasing the payout ratio really the right way to force an increase in the number of MNs?". If you decrease the requirement to 500, here...

    RC4 Launch

    When you check "Disable Darksend", it does just that... it disables it. You want to UNCHECK it (thus enabling Darksend).

    Guide to Receive a Text Message and MORE Whenever DRK received!!!

    EDIT: I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with Windows so instructions included for that and the guide now shows users how to create multiple commands. Wouldn't it be nice to receive a text message every time your wallet receives a payment? What about an email? Perhaps you'd like to...

    Masternode guide for complete noobs to update to 0.12.0.58

    Thank you for pointing out... a moderator had updated but didn't add the additional steps you pointed out. I just went through and edited my post for the fact that in this version you need to go back to the console and masternode start. Should be accurate now. Let me know if anything else has...

    RC4 Launch

    Yes, it was unlocked and just wouldn't take the last command. It might be specific to me. I'll try it on another machine and report back.

    RC4 Launch

    I successfully updated my remote server to 0.10.12.25 and went to activate with the OSX wallet 0.10.12.25 and "masternode start" command doesn't work. In fact, it crashed the whole qt application. Anyone else running OSX have the same issue restarting their MN? In the meantime, any suggested...

    v0.10.12.x RC4 Testing

    That is correct. It was addressed a few weeks back. I've tested the next version already with flare and the font issues are addressed. It is unfortunate that we're still distributing the version with the fonts issue, but it should be resolved shortly when RC4 is out.

    Hello Order Depth .....>

    That is indeed a massive buy wall, but your conclusion is inverted... the buy wall - as long as it's there - makes it very hard for the price to drop below 0.0095. It is a bullish sign that the price of DRK is far more likely to rise than to fall, since it would take relatively fewer market buy...

    v0.10.12.x RC4 Testing

    After thinking about it more, I think option 3 and option 4 are simply different versions of the same option. Option 4 is nothing more than the approval in option 3 once the user has submitted his/her approval for an amount to ensure is auto-denominated and ready to spend. EDIT: Unless of...

    v0.10.12.x RC4 Testing

    I agree... and then don't we collect fees yet again when the user actually sends their denominated coins? I would like to see fees only at the point when the user transacts and has the ability to approve the fees. There's really four options: 1) Auto denominate with fees and without approval -...

    v0.10.12.x RC4 Testing

    I think the preferred option is always going to be the same, no matter how many denominations we want to support and no matter how low the person's balance. Here is what the 100 DRK scenario would look like under the two options (and assuming you were sending 75 DRK): Denomination Number Amount...

    v0.10.12.x RC4 Testing

    I couldn't help myself... just did some research into optimal denominations and came to a few interesting conclusions that should be considered in the design of Darksend+: 1) Given an unlimited number of denominations, the optimal denominations to minimize the number of...

    v0.10.12.x RC4 Testing

    Evan, What about the idea of using mathmatically optimal denomination sizes? I don't know if you ever saw my post about this, but you can do MUCH MUCH better than simple powers of two to reduce the number of transactions needed (to create the denominations, the total amount required to be...

    Bitcoin gone too far?

    There have been a bunch of really influential people like Andreas that have recently left the Bitcoin Foundation that are high-quality, well regarded, and well-connected. I don't think we are there yet, but we should consider at some point approaching some of these disgruntled members and see if...

    This is HUGE for DRK

    I used to do the same thing. As a buyer, Bitfinex makes a ton of sense now that volumes are increasing... here's the economics of (CoinbaseUSD > BTC > DRK) vs. (BitfinexUSD > DRK) vs. (CrypstyUSD > DRK) 1) Coinbase method: - 1% fee + $0.15 for the Coinbase purchase (plus you pay the bid/ask...

    This is HUGE for DRK

    I just wanted to point out to those that aren't closely following trading volumes on the exchanges that Darkcoin has been silently developing a viable USD / DRK trading pair on Bitfinex recently. It may have finally reached a tipping point of now actually being a viable semi-liquid market. USD...
