Hello thelonecrouton,

We're happy to announce that Darkcoin Version 10.15.19 v2 Windows Release is now available for download.

Who Needs To Update?

All Darkcoin users must update their clients.

A huge thanks goes out to all of the users that helped us perfect this release on testnet. There were countless users who sent wallets and debug logs which helped the debug process tremendously. We couldn’t have done it without all of you.

Thanks,

The Darkcoin Team

Never ever download binaries which are not originating from official website, and check signature of files for authenticity (either the files are signed by me or Evan)

I think they are pretending to be "darkcointalk" - Evan will push out a warning via official twitter as well.

Edit: confirmed

are we being hacker at DCT or something ?!
maybe we should wipe out some history we have stored on the servers !?
i might be paranoid, but i thought before that there are a LOT of communications and information stored here !!

Some people publish them in their bitcointalk profiles. Or we all sign up for too many services and some may have been hacked. Even Mintpal :)

The dark web probably, paid for with Darkcoin. :grin:

My gmail account is about as old as gmail accounts get, I take the usual simple precautions, mostly, but I'm not paranoid about it, there's nothing of real value there, it's disposable.
