Yes and let's all remember to be extra nice and welcoming and patient when all the n00bs come on here and ask stupid questions  

i think we are slowly entering a phase where Darkcoin will be a lot more discussed in the media and by other groups .. our little innercircle will be getting wider and wider.

edit : also a lot more discussion and attention for Darknet in general and Bazaar, even the European Union is starting up a group focussed on Darknet.

looks like you can grab it from github already .. but lets wait till Evan gives an official announcement.

If 100% of the code is ready then why testing in a few weeks and not tomorrow?

Each protocol bump should kick everything else off the network, and thus be a fresh start.

This enforcement thing has been holding back development since May. The current mining architecture just isn't a good fit for what Darkcoin is trying to achieve.

I have proposed making mining via Masternodes mandatory many times, and just get called a 'Nazi' and a 'retarded fucking Jew' (by the same people... ) - the nearest I've had to a sensible argument against it is that pools need beefier hardware than Masternodes, but why not require pools to obtain compliance tokens from Masternodes first that are required for a block to be accepted?

There are lots of ways it could be done but nobody seems interested.

I am more and more coming to believe that PoW is a dead end. Centralised pools do not secure the network, they are a security liability. Nobody wants to talk about it. Mining costs do not translate into coin value. Nobody wants to admit it. For the last six months PoW has just held back development, it has done nothing whatsoever to add value.

Shifting block reward in favour of Proof of Service is a good move, but the timeframe is too long and it's meaningless if PoW can still fuck things up.

PoW has been a spanner in the works for half a year now, my fear is that it is also going to make InstanTX unworkable as well.

is it possible to burn drk for drk 2.0 to get rid of old clients and start fresh?

its not a real proposal, just wondering if its technically possible.
