well hot fixes exist, but what is done is done anyway, no point arguing.
I guess I am a little upset about this 2nd botched fork - I am going to bed now and get some sleep

BUMP

Everyone update for reverting Masternode payments

The code must be able to account for freak results, even if they happen rarely. You can't have your coin at the mercy of random forks due to a known bug.

I agree. That must have taken some bottle.

He is quite a guy to have at the helm of a project like this. In the end that'll be what makes it.

For people who missed it

Buddy, I am sorry, but concerning 4/, I still can't fathom with the fork could not go ahead ESPECIALLY since it was apparently caused by a minor and rare issue - 2 blocks simultaneous with different MN votes. We will never know, but it seems to me it is preposterous to pretend it was the best decision.

You must be looking at something other than me.  I see an upward trend now that confidence has been restored.  If not for some big sell's by some weak handed trolls, we would already be pitching our tents on the moons surface!

Today has been amazing.  While I would have preferred that the fork gone smoothly, it provided an outstanding additional entry point.  I didn't come close to bottom ticking this move which I'm upset with myself for (more on that below), but in the long run, my entry points today will look excellent.

There are multiple reasons I decided to increase my investment:

1.  Excellent price.

2.  The issue appeared minor in scope.

3.  I thought we were going to see a stronger selloff than we had which is why I didn't come close to bottom ticking the market.  There were a couple large panic sellers, but there were plenty of people buying the heck out of those drops.  There is serious capital utilizing prime opportunities like this to enter the market.  I want to ride that capital wave.

4.  Evan showed once again what an incredible dev he is.  He stood strong and did what was best for DRK in the face of what would be insurmountable opposition to most people.  EVERY SINGLE PERSON in IRC was saying not to revert.  I didn't see a single person supporting his decision yet he stood firm because he knew it was the right decision.  I guarantee you this, should Evan ever decide to start a company after DRK and needs Venture Capital, VC's will be throwing money at him.

I wonder if some nodes have been disbanded to sell the massive DRK dumps

Race conditions are easy to create, hard to find, and can be very very bad...Especially when they show up in medical equipment. Never forget the Therac-25:

Doesn't matter.  The market has spoken!  

Looks like someone dumped 3000+ in a single sale.

Old News? It's happening now! I hope I can get some more cheap on Mintpal

Old news!!  Nobody cares anymore because we are about to board a shuttle to the moon!!!

When the first delay occurred, people were like "if there is a second delay, the coin will die".
When the first fork happened, people were like "if there is a second fork, the coin will die".

It seems to me like the benchmark is always re-positioned to the next possible make-it/break-it point to add extra excitement and drama.

If people have unrealistic expectations of what a development project is, that's their problem. I think the market is showing tremendous levels of maturity and now understands the situation far better.

Yeah. That surprised me too.

I thought she was kinda gorgeous.

LOL did anyone just see that epic cryptsy dump?

I think Evan is pretty busy monitoring the system and its wellbeing rather than trading the coin.

But, there are several layers of information.

The way information propagates is something like this:

1) IRC
2) Bitcointalk / Darkcointalk (in days like this it's Bitcointalk)
3) The internet at large

Even at the IRC level, it has two strata, one being #darkcoin and another being #darkcoin-test, with #darkcoin-test being more in the know than #darkcoin.

In finance, the two most prized abilities are

- Knowing the future
- Controlling the future

...as you can make tons of money out of these.

What happened earlier is that #darkcoin-test witnessed an announcement to something like 50-60 people that there is a problem and that the dev will shut down payments with a patch. Everyone else (#darkcoin IRC, darkcointalk, bitcointalk, etc) were in the "dark" and celebrating about the success of the patch. Some were already selling on those who were celebrating and asking "why are people dumping???" given that some had better info than others.

Note that this is not a function of being an insider, but rather actively seeking information to be up-to-date, as the info is public for all if one goes to the proper channels.

Some on the IRC felt that my taking this info from darkcoin-test and posting it onto bitcointalk is not good and that perhaps darkcoin-test should be password-locked or something. I made the case that if that happens, this lack of transparency is then in itself a function of financial manipulation because those who have a password, will have access to advance info against all the others. A password for a closed IRC channel could be worth XX.XXX USD in this context.

The market should mature in its reactions to good or bad news (ok this is cryptoland, so...) but, IMO, transparency is non-negotiable in this aspect.

I don't have the requirement for information to be brought to me, and 99.9% of the time I don't even bother to find the info (=log into IRC) but today I did because I knew if I didn't I would be lagging in terms of updates. So I tried to relay this info to the forum as well. If the darkcoin-test was closed, that would be impossible.

The dev doesn't possess bi-location ability to be simultaneously able to post in the forum, irc, twitter, facebook etc etc, while also seeing the problems and trying to fix them. He is one man and thus can only post in certain places at a certain pace given time and workload constraints. People in here bitch about information/communication issues, and the dev not giving updates to the forum, when in fact he is active on the IRC, but the info is not always reaching the forum and it creates unnecessary panic that the dev is somehow absent when the whole universe is imploding.

In any case, to make the long story short, I haven't seen any evidence of financial manipulation. And, as long as the process / communication is transparent, we will be OK.

Could we do this again ? Those week hands dumped more than the last 20 days combined. I like my investment  in strong hands. Its safer that way
