It was more that he was impressed with their skills, not that they're "on to something" per se.  At least not in the way I think you mean it.  He was trying to find a way to consolidate talent to better compete & establish DRK's dominance in the market space.  It was a good idea in principle.  Those chat logs though, sheesh.

Yes indeed.

What worries me is that when XC, CLOAK, VERI and all that stuff came along, Evan didn't bat an eyelid.

Yet when SDC appears he suddenly wants to "merge" with them ?

Why would he even suggest just a drastic move only in this particular case ?

He must think they're onto something.

If ever there was an invitation to hedge your DRK investment you can't really beat an endorsement from its own developer. I've already acted accordingly.

Login to remote.

Stop the daemon.

go into the darkcoin directory.

git pull

go into the src directory

make clean -f makefile.unix

make -f makefile.unix

./darkcoind

Can someone link the guide to updating a masternode safely with the new version, thanks

Darkcoin - v0.10.15.21

If you are running a masternode on a VPS, I highly suggest you update to 15.21. This update reduces outbound traffic by 90%+ (which is what amazon charges for) by implementing bloom filters. Also load has been drastically reduced by about 70%.

PS. Enforcement is on, everything looks good  

Also, by eliminating the dealer you probably avoid many new addicts. Most people need some convincing to get into drugs. If there is no dealer to do that, some people will never start. You still have friends to teach/convince you, but dealers are more than just people that sell a product.

Today the Washington Post posted in favour of online drug markets... really didn't expect them to be taking that position!
How the FBI just made the world a more dangerous place by shutting down Silkroad 2.0 and a bunch of online drug markets:

********************* Amber Alert - Alan Greenspan *********************

Major stuff from him. they cut this out of the transcript of his comments at the Council on Foreign Relations

Greenspan: "Gold Is Currency; No Fiat Currency, Including the Dollar, Can Match It"

See 2:40

Greenspan: "If you look at the data, with very few exceptions, all of the developed countries have gold reserves. Why ?"

Interviewer: "Well I imagine right now it's because of a question mark hanging over the value of fiat currency - or the value going forward".

TIC Report: Look who's carrying the most worthless US bonds = happens to be the same people that have been hoovering up all the world's gold for the last 4 years. Greenspan clearly knows this and knows what they plan to do and why.

My 2 cents:

1) Much like the silkroad has taken all the drug related violence out of the business by giving users the possibility to buy drugs online,
(without the dangerous hassle of going to some psychotic guy waiting at a dark streetcorner in some fucked up neighborhood)
darkcoin can build on that success and help create the next step in this necessary process of truly helping drug addicts.

The possibility of ordering drugs online is a very positive thing, because it reduces violence, and creates more safety and reliability.
(You think some street dealer cares about his reputation? He'll try to abuse whoever is forced to deal with him)

I am 100% sure that many drugdealers HATE it that you can now buy drugs online anonymously from some remote part of the country.
Drug producers on the other hand welcome darkcoin, but not the dealers themselves.

I therefor imagine a world were this middleman called dealer disappears completely.

Isn't that just another middleman that abused his position for so many years and whose time to disappear has now come?
I have known some dealers in my life and they were all sociopathic pieces of shit.
It delights me to imagine a future where those assholes don't exist anymore.

Instead we now have a decentralized system that brings together drug producers and drug users. Isn't that brilliant?
Isn't that what this is all about? Enabling a free market while reducing violence?

So watch out when you read headlines like "Darkcoin used by drugdealers". Because that's exactly what is NOT happening anymore.

Drug prohibition is an inhuman thing anyway, and it fills me with joy that the mess created by stupid government laws is slowly being offset by decentralized technology.


2) If your money of choice can't be used to buy drugs or pay for sex etc... what good is it anyway?
And how exactly would such things be prevented? By having government approve every transaction first?
Money doesn't stink, and when it comes to price discovery all "sinful" (lol) morality goes out the window.

I for one welcome any "illegal" activities that use darkcoin and hope that in the near future some large porn producers start accepting darkcoin, it's the next logical step.

Disclaimer: I condemn any form of violence. So when I say "illegal" activities I include all the things that government arbitrarily declares illegal.
(how can it be illegal when those things don't represent a violent crime that creates a victim.)

where on reddit?

you guessed correct, you need to transfer yr funds from yr old wallet into a newly created wallet .. too much has changed
with regards to Darksend. you can do a -reindex on yr current blockchain if necessary, no need to do a whole new blockchain download.
try a small test amount first from old to new adress before sending it all over... and then make plenty backups (pref one right after you created and encrypted
the new wallet and after each transaction .. you will need to do a lot more frequent backups then in the past)
 
edit : eh yeah, i'm done editing now.. sorry about that
