Haha, and for a second I wondered who I have to thank... Glad you are back!!!
Moar coming now, regularly. Stay tuned.

Also, glad to see you are active yourself, will take a look at your new blogs. Always interesting to know what a fellow anarchist thinks about.  Grin

The European Central Bank has cut interest rates from 0.15% to 0.05% - pretty soon they'll be actually paying you to borrow their worthless paper.  Grin

To those just joining us here after seeing the nice rise today in darkcoin, this is what is going on:

  • RC4 Selloff: Market sentiment is overtly negative after the huge selloff corresponding with a perceived "troubled" release of RC4.
  • RC5 is running nicely on testnet
  • Open sourcing of the darkcoin codebase should happen within few weeks
  • Darkcoin Foundation - newly formed, more information soon
  • Enforcement for masternode payments is coming with RC5
  • Trusted Peer Review & 3rd party whitepaper being done by Kristov Atlas, expected soon.

So as you see, a positive convergence of many juicy newsworthy items.

I don't think RC5 is going to have enforcement. He's leaving that out for the next release if I understood him correctly.

I have a separate plan I've been considering as an alternative that carries no risk and can be done at RC5's launch

I'm thrilled to stand corrected.

From Darkcoin talk:

-tungfa : ''Send anonymous text messages and pay in DRK ...>>>
http://www.bitsms.eu''

-vertoe : ''Cool just tested, for 0.1 DRK you can send a txt anywhere in the world. Nice!''



-r-ando : ''Well that is certainly useful, people can now officially send anonymous text messages again using anonymous Darkcoin!

Darkcoin: Freedom has evolved

And If we eventually have a safeweb option (even IP obfuscation alone to start) for the coin to be used with, no one will ever be able to tell where the message came from. Text messages evolved, especially if an app is developed specially for Darkcoin so people can start using this feature to send all their text messages from their phones Smiley Apparently text messaging is a popular thing? Wink

An app that connects you to the master node safe web at the same time...? So, using a principle similar to Skype but anonymous and secure, people could bypass the text message service of their regular text message providers and opt for a more secure solution. This would be very useful for business worldwide especially if it was easy to setup once and then ran automatically on phones. It could replace services such as BBM which have actually been proven to not be fully secure and yet have led to the creation of billion dollar companies. This something people should immediately recognize as valuable.

Eventually email could also be figured out, and instead of only having 1 time pay access for messaging, anonymous accounts could be created and you could have anonymous monthly subscriptions payed in DRK through anonymous accounts.... All this would run through the nodes because the coins run through the nodes and also two times with a safeweb. Thanks for the information!

Just this one feature is a big deal, imagine everything else that is coming Smiley ''

I realize that the system has similarities.  What I believe is novel is the (snipped) "nomination" system based on the hash of the block, the need for the nominated MNs to respond with blockchain-writable transactions within 2 blocks of being nominated, and the deterministic picking of a "winner" based on the responding MNs.  This negates the need to maintain an off-blockchain "list" of active MNs, which I believe is what caused the forking problems in previous releases, where some nodes were rejecting blocks off of a belief that the MN receiving payment was not a valid MN, for whatever reason.  You can see this in all the questions about "is my MN appearing ok?"  It should not be possible for one person's list of active MNs to be different than another person's, yet I believe that this is what we still have today.  "I'm seeing 850 active MNs but Joe sees 842" is a very difficult problem to solve, so my proposal moves all MN "activeness" into the blockchain where it becomes indisputable.

When MN payments were first introduced, forking occurred as the network propagation process could take longer than the blocktime. Since then the inter-MN comms are *much* faster.

If I see 850 active MNs, you and Joe also see 850, any change is propagated within seconds at most. There will always be fringe cases, but that's what the voting system across multiple blocks is is for.

It's critical for future services that MN's maintain comms discrete from the slow blocktime.

I agree, but I don't think it's critical that they do so for payment (at least % of block reward payment) reasons.

Agreed with luigi.  The MNs can maintain their high-speed network, but the rest of the network (including miners) will always have propagation delays.  Unless you do something like require all mining to be funneled through the MNs.... which wouldn't be a bad idea IMO. 

There can also be malevolent MNs, or incompetently-managed MNs, or MNs that are facing DOS attacks, or having other network or server issues.  Counting on the MNs to be fast all the time will lead to failure, guaranteed.

I think you/we should present this to the right people and figure out what, if anything, would prevent this from being the MN payment solution.

I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed we're not going the route of a DarkTor equivalent.

Yet*

Seems like anybody (not just darkcoin core team) could develop an add-on for masternodes to create Darktor. Maybe after open source somebody will see this as a profitable business model and write the code to make it happen. Who knows. But probably better having the core team working on core issues.

I now think it's better if darkcoin does one thing (anonymity) and does it really really well. Like In N' Out Burgers or Bakesale Betty's in Oakland CA, they make amazing fried chicken sandwiches, nothing else. Line out the door every day. Man I'm hungry.

All that's needed for a DRK TOR-beater is for the IP obfuscation and encrypted comms to be integrated and accessible to 3rd parties.

At that point, I can guarantee you that some kind of MasterNet will become a reality, because if nobody else beats me to it, it will be called CroutonNet.

Wink

Put me down for that launch.

if your willing to type:

choose 1D,
zoom in, and go over a date and look at the line at the top of the window....

I just sent an email to their business development team, will keep you guys posted when they respond.

EDIT: I think the main point is that when traveling privacy matters, it is sensitive to not let the public know when or where you are travelling so Darkcoin will provide added value to their customers. And I think we have a large and growing community. I know I wouldnt travel using fiat anymore if there was a reliable Darkcoin option.
