You are on my ignore list because of your trolling. Lucky for you your post was quoted or i never would have saw your comment.  Have a nice day.

We all make mistakes in the heat of uncertainty.

SPAM

I'm a recent supporter of spreadcoin. I actually bought some after the dev went AWOL and the community started to gather together to take on the project. I also got some because the solo mining thing was effective against pools but was proved to be ineffective against private pools.



This is absolutely wrong, I run/ran a pool for SPR, the problem was/is that SPR was so ultra-cheap that noone invested the time to get "normal" pool software ported to SPR's special features. It is like adapting to a new algo.

The whole anti-pool thing is totally non-functioning in SPR and was always just a middle to feign some special feature and get "normal" people in to buy coins.

SPR is nothing but a 1:1 clone of an old darkcoin source with a few (!) mods making in incompatible with standard-stratum software...

Some sentences used by ordinary people in 2017:

- Can you Dash me 20 Dots/Duffs?
- I Dashed you the amount a few seconds ago, it is there.
- Who will Dash the bill?
- You take Dash?
- Give me the Dash
- Handover the Dash
- I got slashDashed during divorce


- Cash or Dash..  Wink

Well, its Dash now. Should it be colour green?
colour green would look lovelly!

As has been said, I believe that this change will be for the best, after my wall was sold in to completely there were no walls at all for a considerable period of time during this controversy, I think that was some good free market price discovery of where today's natural floor would be in difficult conditions, the coins that were sold to me are now effectively removed from the open market and will join the masternode network in strengthening the coin, my present wall is 100 BTC @ 0.01 on Finex if anyone would like to exit a large position, it won't be removed or lowered, there's also 30 BTC worth of bids on Cryptsy at the same price.

Is the wall still in place or is the current rise in price subject to that wall?

There must be ways we can make DASH work for everyone, including the masses.

Lets have a competition with some prizes. That always seems to rally the troops around a worthwhile endeavour.

The moment Master Nodes are off the agenda, I'm also off. Other than that, I'll give the project as much support as possible.

I have let everyone there know that as soon as they try to compete with DRK then I'm off.

Not SPAM

However, master nodes are an untapped pit of opportunities and R&D in spreadcoin could identify one or two gems (got to use that word twice today  Smiley) that DRK or DASH could use at some point in the future, once the focus from competing against Bitcoin is well under way and the project needs to look over the horizon for longer-term developments.

I've added a few more trolls to my ignore list today bringing the total to over 20 in the last 48 hours. Thanks to illodin, tok, minotaur and everybody else here fighting them!

I hope we keep the Darkcoin "D" logo as there is a ton of great artwork/Memes associated with it...



So is anyone who disagrees with you a troll? I had legitimate concerns. Is my voice not allowed to be heard?







Have you no shame? You've been caught out lying. You've come in here claiming "Oh....I've only just heard....I'm disappointed...."

You're wasting everyone's time trying to start the whole branding discussion all over again from the beginning yet you're over on Spreadcointalk saying "Hey guys, Darkcoin's changing their name.....we should leverage off this....yeah, this could be our great moment...."

It's just dishonest, lame and true troll behaviour.

If you're invested in DRK then add to DRK's success by taking part honestly and positively; not like some snake in the grass.

small question guys:

when you break your masternode (withdrew funds accidentally from the 1K transaction) and you take everything off and deposit a clean 1K again.

Do you have to create a new masternode genkey? or can the same one be used?

As i would think, only the collateral output would be changed, but i could be wrong here.

There is no  need to regenerate new  key. Just deposit fresh 1K, wait for 15 conf and do "masternode start". But if you really want to change masternodeprivkey you need to update it on both sides - local and remote.

Two retailers (close friends) who I have previously discussed accepting DRK actually said "come back if you change the name".

I love the name Darkcoin and don't want to see it go but it feels like the right time to move on now.
I completely agree. This is also the sentiment I've been getting. If we are truly going to take this technology to the whole world so everyone can enjoy the benefits, this is the way to go.
Cheers, mate, it's nice to see a similar viewpoint to my own. I've been getting torn apart in the DCT thread all night!  Wink

The significance is that BTER have enabled DRK, after their hack.

is there any more info on this ?!
Bter is all good and working ?

Seems to be, trades are happening, haven't tried any DRK or other withdrawals as yet, but I expect that we'd've have heard if say the earlier allowed ones like NXT weren't going though OK

the locals all say " get out ASAP"

They have a notice up on the DRK/BTC and DRK/CNY pages at least:

Quote from: BTER
Notice: The trading will be enabled soon. Don't forget to double check the price in your existing orders. Get latest updates at https://twitter.com/btercom .

an example of how 'Dark' is used and perceived, for better or worse, just an eg & forget the Gov BS part, but may be of interest

https://image.slidesharecdn.com/darksidecropped-150310094630-conversion-gate01/95/the-dark-side-of-the-digital-revolution-1-638.jpg?cb=1426007945

I've always maintained that the Dark name is an asset until it gets to the point where it needs to grow up and move to mainstream.

Marketing and Branding

TBC

Marketing and branding follows a review of demographics, target markets.

However, it is likely that Darkcoin will require a strategy for rebranding and market positioning once it becomes an established payment network with the ability to rotate into high volume mass market retail merchant use.

All the publicity about 'Dark' being dark is basically free publicity which has benefited the publications and DRK.

But it is about time to move on.

I agree and loved the dark horse vibe, it got us where we are now, but every non crypto person that I mentioned darkcoin to was like Eww! Dark + Internets = Yuk!

My masternode count shows 2092 masternodes. So we lost a bit more than 200 nodes.
But consider that it is much easier to close one than open a new one.
After redistributing a lot of coins it will take a bit longer until the new nodes are online again.
Maybe otoh can say something if he has set up new ones.

I think it should seriously be considered lowering the amount needed for a MN. If it were half of the original value then sales would increase and there would be far more masternodes in existence.
I don't think we lost a single node. We are still well above 2300. You guys are really running out of ideas.
EDIT : Well played Flowerpots! Beaten by a smidge!

2305 MN's on my 0.11.1.25

Holding strong Smiley  Why do they bother lying?
I did not try to lie. I only post my result of masternode count. Its now 2087.
To double check i did delete my peers.dat and did start the ./darkcoind again
Will post results soon while over time the number is growing slowly over time

Same as before, sry to say but people seem realy not that intelligent!
If you call out for an delta between two numbers, make sure the two numbers are from the same source or you cant tell anything about a delta, because perhaps the numbers from different sources are messured diffferent!

So here again somone read about ~2300, and from another source about 2092, instead he bothers that the two sources could report false/different numbers, he just says hey the number is 200 mn lower.

That is like i go to my bank and change an euro for 1.10 dollar, then i go to an exchange on the airport where i get 1.05 dollar for an euro -> after i conclude, oh the dollar must have lost almost 5 % value in 5 mins. Does this sound like a useful conclusion? - i guess not!

JFC. could there ever conceivably be a day where i just put 1000 drk somewhere on a wallet, i know its safe/under my control and its in a masternode?

What do you mean ?

Masternode collateral is held in cold wallets these days.


i looked at the directions to set one up and i was just like holy god wtf is this shit. in my mind, i would send 1000 drk to a wallet and hit a button that says "masternode activation sequence begin" and then it would start to lottery coins every now and again.

Mmm....perhaps the "skillz" aint gonna "klls" on this one!

A masternode is far more than just a wallet with a "masternode" check box and they've been designed to operate on proper data centre hosted kit. That typically means Linux via a VPS (Virtual Private Server) provided by one of the many VPS service providers.

I didn't know much at all about linux but was able to follow Tao's guide okay to set up my masternode. It takes a bit of focus and a preparedness to go through the steps. But what you'll be doing is adding to this incredibly robust and substantial Masternode network (i.e. not just the running of a wallet....these MNs do a lot of work now with Darksend and InstantX).

Darkcoin's CNY market has been opened at https://bter.com/trade/drk_cny , deposit at https://bter.com/myaccount/deposit/DRK … , withdraw at https://bter.com/myaccount/withdraw/DRK

Many thanks for the heads up, I've been waiting for this :-)

Put a bid wall in there for 7,645 DRK at above market price of 20 CNY/DRK

https://bter.com/trade/drk_cny

let's see if China wants to sell or arb some of that devil coin Cheesy

if so these will also be additional masternodes

thanks BTer for coming back!

The Great Wall of otoh.

When parody become reality. Gotta love crypto for little gems like this  Grin
