DASH is the future of crypto payments!
shojayxt I had a good day today and I`ve unignored you ...... for 15sec.

We don`t need to find out what's going on with nicehash!  You didn't get your payment!?


Nicehash does not pay for anybody, it is a proxy only!

Only enforcment will put them down with orphans.

Don`t ask again about them.

Be happy that Camo didin`t respond you at your question Tongue

Is this lag common for larger transactions?

Shouldn't it nonetheless be possible to implement an improved version of spork system without the need for centralization?

Someone needs to decide what the best path forward is. I'm happy for that to be Evan, since it can't be me.  Undecided  Wink

Rule by committee is always a disaster.

From the first post:

Multi-Phased Fork Implementation (aka the “Spork”)
In response to unforeseen issues with the rollout of RC3, the Darkcoin development team created a mechanism by which updated code is released to the network, but not immediately made active (or “enforced”).  Communication is sent out to users informing them of the change and the need for them to update their clients.  Those who update their clients run the new code, but in the event of errors occurring with that new code, the client’s blocks are not rejected by the network and unintended forks are avoided. Data about the error can then be collected and forwarded to the development team.
Once the development team is satisfied with the new code’s stability in the mainnet environment - and once acceptable network consensus is attained - enforcement of the updated code can be activated remotely.  Should problems arise, the code can be deactivated in the same manner, without the need for a network-wide rollback or client update.
This innovation allows for far smoother transitions than in the traditional hard fork paradigm, as well as the collection of test data in the live network environment.
We set out with the intention of calling this method of updating the “Soft Fork”, but the Darkcoin community quickly dubbed it the “Spork” and the name seems to have stuck.

-------------

I control the key that turns the spork on and off, and it allows me to gather information on mainnet for a period of time before activating the code. If I see something is wrong with the spork, or have some other network issue I can turn it off at any time. I.e, A spork and a soft and hard fork at the same time. So the code implements every the hard fork and ONLY begins to reject blocks when I issue the command.

https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/blob/master/src/checkpointsync.cpp#L514
https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/blob/master/src/main.h#L1673

It works by extending the checkpointing system, which I also have control over, so that it tells the network if the current spork is enforced or not. Yes, it's centralized, but it allows hard fork after hard fork without the risk of destroying the entire network or issuing emergency rollbacks of patches. But we don't need this forever, once we have all of the tools we need for the perfect eCash, we can get rid of checkpointing and sporking. For now though, it's allowing us to be very nimble.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. Also thanks for pointing out the code files.
So I was wrong.
So it is centralized but we are going to get rid of it once darkcoin has matured into ecash.

I can live with that. (for now)

EDIT: Shouldn't it nonetheless be possible to implement an improved version of spork system without the need for centralization?

its just the hardfork for MN payments that has a delayed activation for either waiting for a certain pools compliance % or waiting for a certain time period, if one of those two conditions is met the
hardfork will be activated. This methode is also known as the spork update methode. The activation will be issued by Evan and then the hardfork will be active, forcing the mining pools to be on the right
darkcoin version or to have their mining efforts (on the wrong darkcoin version) rejected by the network.

We are using the spork methode for some time now, i dont understand why yr so bothered with it all of a sudden.. it gives the pools and the users some time to prepare and its more gracious then
forcing a hardfork down everyone's throat on short notice.  The update methode is perhaps in a small number of hands (centralisation) but thats with all coins, even Bitcoin.
The lead developer is both in charge and has the responsibility over the coin he is developing, some times the lead developer operates alone.. sometimes he forms a team .. but it will still be a few experienced
people developing the code, or in this case flipping the switch.

My assumption was always that it is part of all the users to update to the new version, and that's it.
Everything else (grace period, automatically going hardfork, etc.) is in the code itself.

So I think I just get confused by all those gifs and all those phrasings like "it's in evans hands" and "the activation will be issued by evan" etc...

He doesn't trigger anything at all.

It's just that he creates a new version and it's the people who have to update and then the spork code in the new version waits for a period / formula before going hardfork.
Evan triggers nothing, he just creates new versions and people have to follow.

So again, I think everything is clear if explained like that, it's just that how people depict it or make it sound like is confusing sometimes, especially to newcomers.
I need a coffee.
Case closed.

Yes, in this post it says:

Quote
At block 158,000 masternode rewards will jump to 25%, if more than 80% of the network is updating and paying the correct rewards enforcement will be activated then. From the looks of it, we're very close to those numbers already. Once enforcement is active, payments will be completely 100% fair and equal between all masternodes.

All those conditions mentioned (blocknumber, percentage of network, etc..) are hardcoded into the spork and will be checked constantly and trigger the hardfork automatically,
there is no need for evan to "push a button" or anything like that.

There could have been the off chance that not enough people would have updated by then, but then the spork would have not triggered. It would have remained inactive.
I mean that's the reason we call it spork right? Soft fork. Either it forks when the conditions are met, or NOT AT ALL. There is no enforcement other than the voluntary compliance of a large enough number of participants.
I don't like how the word enforcement is used to describe "voluntary compliance of a large enough number of participants", that's my problem with this whole mess. It's rhetorically wrong to describe it like that.
But mathematically is makes sense.

Right?

okay, i see yr point now .. if those conditions are indeed hardcoded in the Onyx update then yr right, it would automatically do a fork (Enforcement) when those conditions were met.
Untill now i regarded those conditions not hardcoded but more as something Evan put out there for himself, once those conditions were reached he would remotely activate the enforcement himself.
Lets wait and see if this gets a bit clearer.

Yes, in this post it says:

Quote
At block 158,000 masternode rewards will jump to 25%, if more than 80% of the network is updating and paying the correct rewards enforcement will be activated then. From the looks of it, we're very close to those numbers already. Once enforcement is active, payments will be completely 100% fair and equal between all masternodes.

All those conditions mentioned (blocknumber, percentage of network, etc..) are hardcoded into the spork and will be checked constantly and trigger the hardfork automatically,
there is no need for evan to "push a button" or anything like that.

There could have been the off chance that not enough people would have updated by then, but then the spork would have simply not triggered. It would have remained inactive.
I mean that's the reason we call it spork right? Soft fork. Either it forks when the conditions are met, or NOT AT ALL. (or else it would just be a hardfork with delay, but that's not what a spork is.)

There is no "enforcement" other than the voluntary compliance of a large enough number of participants.
(voluntary compliance = updating to the correct version in the right time)

I don't like how the word enforcement is used to describe "voluntary compliance of a large enough number of participants", that's where my confusion comes from.
It's rhetorically wrong to describe it like that. People are not forced to do anything, either they voluntary help the situation so that the spork conditions are met, or else the new version will simply not be implemented.

It's a rhetorical problem, but the mathematics behind the spork are sound!

its just the hardfork for MN payments that has a delayed activation for either waiting for a certain pools compliance % or waiting for a certain time period, if one of those two conditions is met the
hardfork will be activated. This methode is also known as the spork update methode. The activation will be issued by Evan and then the hardfork will be active, forcing the mining pools to be on the right
darkcoin version or to have their mining efforts (on the wrong darkcoin version) rejected by the network.

We are using the spork methode for some time now, i dont understand why yr so bothered with it all of a sudden.. it gives the pools and the users some time to prepare and its more gracious then
forcing a hardfork down everyone's throat on short notice.  The update methode is perhaps in a small number of hands (centralisation) but thats with all coins, even Bitcoin.
The lead developer is both in charge and has the responsibility over the coin he is developing, some times the lead developer operates alone.. sometimes he forms a team .. but it will still be a few experienced
people developing the code, or in this case flipping the switch.

Yes, I just want to understand: They way you make it sound like: How will the activation be issued by evan?

My assumption was always that it is part of all the users to update to the new version, and that's it.
Everything else is in the code itself.

So I think I just get confused by all those gifs and all those phrasings like "it's in evans hands" and "the activation will be issued by evan" etc...

He doesn't trigger anything at all.

It's just that he creates a new version and it's the people who have to update and then the spork code in the new version waits for a period / formula before going hardfork.
Evan triggers nothing.

So again, I think everything is clear, it's just that how people depict it or make it sound like is confusing sometimes.
I need a coffee.
Case closed.

its an update that has a certain part in ''off'' condition ... then after a certain time (when enough pools have updated) that certain part will be remotely switched ''on'' by the darkcointeam (or in this case Evan),
if something goes wrong with that specific part (lets say there is a bug in it or something) he can then also again switch it in ''off'' condition.

This will mean that users / pools only need to update once. How that remote switching on / off exactly works in technical terms i dont know.  Appearently he will fire a signal at the darkcoin software that puts the specific part thats till now in ''off'' condition in ''on'' condition.

  

You said: "Appearently he will fire a signal at the darkcoin software"

But I think this is the reason why I keep getting confused, because if I understand it correctly he doesn't trigger anything, there is no need to.


yes there is a need.. if he doesnt do anything that part in the Onyx update (MN payments getting raised to 25 %) will always stay in ''off'' condition (so MN payments will stay at 20%).
In order to have the part in ''on'' condition (MN payments 25%) it needs to be activated by Evan.

Pls re-read following post :

https://darkcointalk.org/threads/v10-15-onyx-release.2683/

ATTENTION: POOL OPERATORS

This update includes a fork, all daemons and stratum deployments must update their code to pay the correct masternodes and correct reward amounts.

Deployment Schedule:

Immediately: Enforcement will be turned off, allowing for pools to update their software without risk of orphaned blocks

Oct 23, 2014: Rewards will step up to 25%. Darkcoin users are encouraged to contact pools that have not updated and politely ask them to update.

qwizzie : ******** this is the enforcement part (activation of MN payments to 25%) **********

For the spork to work, there must be defined a clear mathematical formula for when it is supposed to go hardfork.

The variables, parameters and conditionals of this formula must be something that every masternode/wallet can calculate by itself,
without the need for "some mastermind behind the curtains" to trigger anything.

We sent a decent amount of DRK and it's been a few hours.
Is this lag common for larger transactions?
