I realise that it's early days and that multiple design options have to be tried out, but to an end user (regular Joe coin holder) "number of rounds" is meaningless. How am I supposed to know what the difference between, say, 4 rounds and 16 is ?

There should be 2 settings:

[1] - Privacy (I don't want my transactions visible in the public domain)

[2] - Obscurity (I don't want the NSA ever to find me and my life depends on it)

Further, IMO, setting [1] should be the default for ALL WALLETS. i.e. level playing field. If you're in Darkcoin, then everything's private, the whole damn lot, otherwise why would you be here.

The reason I suggest that is, imagine if your bank offered you a "transparent" option on your account where your transactions were visible in the public domain. You'd tell them to take a run and jump. It's unheard of in regular banking for financial activities to be anything other than private ALL THE TIME.

If someone buys into Darkcoin, then it should be assumed that they want financial privacy and not leave banana skins lying around for them. It's just a statistical fact that some people will not realise they had to "mix their coins" before sending them, then you've suddenly got angry holders complaining what a crap system this is.

P.S. IMO you also shouldn't be allowed to send coins unless they are mixed at least to the "privacy" level. (I suppose exceptions could be made for testing etc, but it should be something like....you need to go to command like mode/debugger and enable it, then it gets disabled immediately on quitting the wallet).

I'm in the same boat. I had also had quite a lot of trouble mixing prior to v11 and have experienced similar problems with v11. Closing and opening the client seems to work wonders sometimes! When it does get on with the mixing it seems to do so fairly quickly now. There are still a few minor problems to be ironed out to achieve consistent results though.

It's normal the Darkcoin is better ;-) X11, DGW, Darksend, InstantX, Masternodes
What's the innovation of Litecoin ?
Nothing

+100 or we are serious and keep the finger on the pulse or just don`t posses the node.

The reason there is no liquidity is the price is too low.... Simple solution to the problem...

DRK overtaking LTC now

Wish I had a spare number of DRK around 500, I would be a liquidity provider, as it is currently I have like 38 DRK left over from making Masternodes

I had been having enormous trouble mixing up until v11. With v11 mixing has been incredibly fast, I am extremely pleased as an investor but would also be happy even if I was trying to only use the service and move on. I did have some issues with it getting stuck and have to -zapwallettxes, and one evening i was in a loop of getting hit for .1s for a bit. But to be honest I really do not care about those at the moment because mixing is lightning fast, finally. I think that guy is confused and I am confident the other two hangups will get taken care of pretty quick. Really nice job devs.

It should encourage people to update not vice versa.
Since darkcoin is all about privacy mixing should be always ON. There is other wallet (darkcoil I believe) for those who don't like privacy

You could use: http://solomining.com and dont need more, its like a normal pool but if you found a block all block is for you haha (Somebody won lottery and found a btc block!)

Completely Agree With This. Orphans from non updated pools too.

1. If you haven't updated within 48hrs you should get kicked off the network / stop getting paid. Provide the service or go away...
2. It would be great if mixing was ON, always, with fully mixed wallets continuing to act as mixing liquidity providers.

1. People are stupid and greedy (those who don't update usually gets few more payments)
2. It is not polished yet
3. If you are here from beginning you would know about 1 and 2

Well, I recently (Friday) mixed my coins (just over 200) at 3 rounds and it went quite fast.  Then yesterday, I decided to up the rounds to 8.  So I upped it to 8, and the progress bar showed I went down to 45 or so completed, looks good.  But it didn't move from there.  My computer went down (lost power) and I just restarted it.  I started the wallet up again, and started DarkSend.  Right now, I see I'm in the queue; submitted to a masternode.  We'll see how it goes I guess.  I'll report back if it's moving.

It's true that sometimes the mixing gets stuck for some reason.  Often, restarting will fix it.  It can be that someone pulls out from a mix, and that the abort causes a hiccup?  I don't know.  But I do think it most often works smoothly and that having your coins pre-mixed and ready for use is in fact over all a working system.  Even if it takes 7 hours to do.  As long as you don't need to accept 14000 coins, then spend them immediately.  If that were the case, the mixing wouldn't help much anyway, as the amounts would correlate.  The times needed to mix should get faster as more people use the function.  I suspect people are still to wary to try it out.  Only a few of us actually are using the function still.  

Still, if you're not in a hurry, I think the mixing happens fast enough.  Especially with the new feature where the wallet is unlocked for mixing only, so you don't have to fear having the wallet sit open to the world for hours at a time.  I like that.

So I guess I'm partly disagreeing.  Yes, mixing can get stuck and you have to restart.  No, I don't see a failure if it takes the wallet 7 hours to mix.  It's a one time process that can usually be done while you sleep

I will put forth a 50 DRK bounty for a GUI means to control my masternodes like this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10210479

Cant mix since half a year thats just fact, fastest mixing was somewhere around mid 2014.
Setting up a masternode is peace of cake.
Mixing on main net is close to impossible, just paying endless fees 0,1 Drk(luckily it is not 200 $ worth).
Was hopping with v 11 there is some progress. Why masternode owners are not updating(only 50% uptodate)?
If we cant anonymis in 1 hour for a decent fee its not a good product period.
Fix that users will come.
Anyone tells you darksend is properly working, it is not im around here since beginning... The only thing that is quite good working for now is masternode block reward payment.
True story.

Hello again.

I'm a small miner with only 23.5KH/s (4 GPU). I'm mining for the fun of it, not to get rich. I know it's not possible.
I'm currently mining on xpool, and renting my rig on betarigs. (renting brings more than mining myself).

I wanted to try solo mining. is that more profitable?
And, I'm using BAMT, poolmanager with sgminer. can I use the same system for solo mining too? I'd like to have betarigs and when not rented mine solo. what software should I install?

Bitfinex feature announcement: Tether

This would be a good service for DRK

I'm not sure if they're any good but syncfusion is giving away free IT ebooks.

The person who said this on twitter didn't back it up with a source but said that the Bitfinex CTO was considering removing Darkcoin unless it reaches certain milestones or something? Any truth whatsoever to this? The volume is just so damn low and we don't have margin trading available either. You can bet your ass that if margin trading was enabled we would see some fireworks.
