Where is the press release for RC3? Has the team contacted coindesk to write a new article now that masternode payments are working? Seems like word has not spread. Darkcoin team, please add a PR person.

thats a good point... now that we have the spork-technic... there is not an big event like with hard forks anymore... That is very good from a technical standpoint but not optimal from a PR standpoint... So its thrue a working spork must be acompanied with a pressrelease giving material to the media... There must be big waves in media this is also important for the price e.g. new buyers for DRK The community should find someone willing to make a coordineted PR work... please... My english is to bad i can not do it Sad

I'm using Win 7, 64 bit system. It was working fine at first, however after the problem arose I tried running the darkcoin-qt.exe in compatibility for XP among other attempts on solutions.
There should be no need to compile anything, I downloaded the wallet/qt-client from here and I've tried both the 0.9.11.5 and 0.10.11.5 version.
Both yield the same error message :
"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."

Ubuntu is incredibly easy, yes, no doubt. However this 'should' work just fine on Windows. Thanks for helping out.

Oh, ok.  Maybe there was an error in the compilation of the latest wallet and you're just the first to notice.  I'm running 10.11.04 on my machine.  I'll download and see if I have issues with the latest Smiley  BRB Smiley

I'm sorry, I'm not having any trouble with the latest.  Maybe, if you haven't already tried it, you can try downloading it again?  Or try the 10.11.05 version (with darksend) 


Thanks.

I simply backed up my wallet.dat, removed the entire Darkcoin folder in %appdata% then started up Darkcoin-qt.exe anew. Voila, it started.

I think Evan is going to be heavy on the PR after RC4. I dont think RC3 should be shouted about at the moment since its more like a public testing.

+1 we should wait for it to be entirely bulletproof
It would be a bad PR move to be public about something still barely tested that could still easily go awry at this point
Payments are working but still not 100% enforced for some pools furthermore

ok i hear you
if RC3 is not 100% bulletproofed and such ….> (we should wait)
but then we should be ready for RC4 and whatever comes after !
in my opinion there has to be a PR team in place for future updates, press releases,
PR concernes, updating to the public (to get more people involved) and to our community.

There was a research here at some point (can not find the page anymore)
where somebody did a research on the community involvement of DRK, and we were way behind Dodge, BTC, LTC,….
(based on numbers from FB, Twitter, google+, bitcointalk,……)

Time to hit the drum and spread the word !
Maybe not today or tomorrow …. but soon !
and for that we need a proper PR team in place !

First, first, first ...OK. Would like to know is DarkCoin closed source? If yes is this make it truly anonymous?
Not flaming but really asking : ))

Part of the code is closed-source, yes.

But only for some time. We are now on RC3 version, then RC4... then the developer will get top names to verify the code, and then will release everything open-source.

Darkcoin works right now!

But the full power of Darkcoin is still to come. He is only protecting his baby. RC4 is 2 or 3 weeks away, according to planned roll-out

If they can (try) to do it with drugs, they can certainly (try) to do it with cryptos.

Not that crypto's are drugs, but certainly addictive  Grin

1 - Regulates Bitcoin as MSB – Bitcoin dealing, more specifically referred to as “dealing in virtual currencies” in Bill C-31, will be subject to the record keeping, verification procedures, suspicious transaction reporting and registration requirements under the PCMLTFA as a money services business.

2 - Does not define “dealing in virtual currencies” - The phrase “dealing in virtual currencies” was left undefined and it is not known what the defined term will encompass in terms of business activities once defined by regulation.

Seriously? LOL

Which is the reason the price isn't shooting up. And an unbelievable opportunity to buy cheap DRKs

That wouldn't be appropriate until enforcement successfully launches.

Yep... there is nothing to write about. It's debugging the system before *really* getting activated with the network enforcing the rules which are programmed into it.

Consider the payments right now as a bonus, but it's not how the network should be operating. It will operate according to spec in the future, when everything is sorted out from the testing/debugging phase.

No PR needed at this stage.

Three times the charm, I'm asking again
What is the safest way to upgrade darkcoind on masternodes?
Is there any inline procedure that won't break the link with the remote wallet?

Simple. Just do it. And if doing a local.cold/remote setup, you actually only need to do it on the server side. Just be sure to stop darkcoind before upgrading to avoid errors.

Ok I guess I was not so lucky last upgrade , some nodes lost their connection, I had to regenerate masternode priv key
Thanks

My guess is that the team wants to fix any problems that might be showing up in the debug logs (like releasing xx.5 yesterday) and possibly even wait until enforcement goes smoothly before declaring success so publicly.

Here's what I basically did: (Remote node in /usr/bin)

************************************
darkcoind stop

sudo rm darkcoind

wget http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoind
chmod 755 darkcoind

darkcoind start
************************************

You don't need to touch your cold wallet or local masternode.

EDIT: I think I actually might have downloaded it to ~/.darkcoin and then mv'd it into /usr/bin after deleting the old one.
