I want to create a paperwallet from some DRK.
I tested creating a Paperwallat with some HIRO in case something goes wrong.
After creating a paperwallet and depostit HIRO from exchange to the wallet and i checked balance in the blockcahin.
All fine.
Than i did import the privkey into my first life wallet and get back the value into my lifewallet.
Than i import it into a second livewallet i also got the balance into the second one.
After check the first wallet coins are still in both wallets
What did i do wrong ? Looks like anybody who has the private key can use the coins.
Can somebody also try to import the privkey 6fA98bA5EDH7uKiztXnTdPdRB3WGxjb2Tpaybb7geebuKgcYvnL
I am a bit confused about all this

So keep privkey safe.
One of backup method is dumping privkey and print it.

1 Bitcoin $ 7,947,027,453 $ 619.09
2 Litecoin $ 318,843,456 $ 11.05
3 Darkcoin $ 52,733,769 $ 12.14
4 Nxt $ 46,808,290 $ 0.046808
5 Peercoin $ 45,744,698 $ 2.13
Dark is acting corrosively to the top altcoins.
Once DRK overtook DOGE, doge crashed from 100 satoshis to 50.
Ripple owner chose to sell.
PPC lost it's "next-to-LTC" position.
LTC prices are going down and down (0.021 -> 0.020 -> 0.019 -> 0.018 etc - as I had predicted it would happen). Instead of being BTC-on-steroids, it's losing money for BTC holders who bought it.
It's fair to say DRK is a catalyst. It's Platinum to Bitcoin's gold - but it doesn't need to be marketed as such. The "Dark" element can stand on its own pretty well combined with a good anonymity system.
BTC: The "gold"... The benchmark. The one constant that everyone goes to or uses as a measure. The property of gold is to be inert and resistant to corrosion for ages - as is Bitcoin. Altcoins come and go, altcoins evolve, Bitcoin stays the same and rules the market no matter what. Rich people hoard it, just like gold bars.
LTC: The "silver"... Silver is reflective and conductive (fast transfers). However it tarnishes over time and loses its "bling". It is also more abundant than gold (29m LTC vs 13m BTC). Silver coins are "brilliant" when exiting the mint but now we are in the tarnishing phase.
DRK: The "platinum"... Platinum is a catalyst and is used in specific applications for its catalytic properties. Doesn't corrode no matter what. It's also mined at much lesser quantities than gold (scarcer) at a ratio of 150 tons (platinum) to 2500 tons (gold) to 25000 tons (silver). Mining production and scarcity of DRK adequately positions it as the platinum. (4.4mn coins vs 13mn BTCs)
(warning: the above do not represent predictions for prices, just analogies of nature and cryptocurrencies)

And now a brief PSA:
Please always check the primary source where the donation address was originally posted before donating to this or any other cryptocurrency address. Why? Even if an address is accurately quoted at first (I haven't checked), it can always be edited maliciously later down the line, or it can fail to be updated even if Evan abandons the donation address/wallet.
I believe the original can be found here, but doublecheck for yourself:

I do not mean to impugn StefanJ's honor or reputation in any way. He may be the most trustworthy man on the planet. Just a PSA.
Hey Darkies, X-men, trolls and all the other types who seem to be lurking around this thread.
Some other guy( I don't remember the name) came up with the idea to support Evan financially to create this amazing dev-team we've been talking about. After all it doesn't seem fair that he has so spend his own savings to make savings for us! I know some of you doesn't have alot of darks or btc either but I also see plain loaded users who should be busy munching plankton and setting out whalebait. A little will also do because as we say in Denmark: Mange bække små, gør en stor å (Many small creeks, create a large liver) I advice you guys to get this confirmed first before you throw you darks this way, just to get you use to having a sceptical attitude towards things like this. Just pm Evan and get him to confirm or maybe he could confirm in this thread. Either ways thanks and please help spread the word and let's get this devteam to kick some ass!

I'm giving serious thought to offering escrow to help people set-up master nodes.
I keep hearing - I can't afford one, will never be able to get one, etc...that puts people off. That's not the main concern. My concern is that the perception of affordability leaves open the door to clones which begin to look like good value.
I have 10 mining rigs, plus another 3 PCs sitting around. So might be able to do a few private escrow wallet pools. Trust is the big issue. Am looking at technical challenges today.
Maybe if several people offered something similar, we might get people with 250 DRK to pool with others. They operate the MN, escrow operates the wallet and weekly / bi-monthly pay outs.
edit - that does diminish the security aspect of MN. Affordability was one of the barriers to protect the network. So still undecided.
Thoughts welcome.

I dont think it diminishes the security aspect at all since you still need 1000DRK for a masternode.

Do hurry
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6814296
When DRK hits $100 a masternode will be worth 100,000 bucks
Who will risk running such a server besides security geniuses?
Could this become an issue. will future masternodes require less DRK?
Who will risk running such a server besides security geniuses?

Evan said he is not considering lowering the DRK requirement for masternode. 1000DRK is reasonable enough and will make the 51% attack harder in the end
What we need next is someone with some programming talent to make a site like a pool, but you buy shares of a masternode. So when masternodes are much more expensive, they could still be divided down to a reasonable level. This would also allow someone who was not computer savvy to invest in masternodes, which is optimal.
I suggest the software not be based on anything existing, so it could become a darkcoin advantage over the competition. It seems pretty simple though, you buy shares for 1DRK, then it has some screens for stats and it pays out dividends much like MPOS.

i do understand that media loves averages,
but in a (scientific/meaningful) discussion the average is pointless.
it can so easily be manipulated by individuals. // or single points in the distribution

It's fair to say DRK is a catalyst. It's Platinum to Bitcoin's gold - but it doesn't need to be marketed as such. The "Dark" element can stand on its own pretty well combined with a good anonymity system.
I actually really liked the 'Bitcoin Cousin' thing that came up in the media.
That makes it sound more like a relative than a competitor. That's PR gold
Indeed... unless the "family" (bitcoin/ltc etc) denounces us for being the "black sheep"
I do remember saying that when the marketcap gets to $20m, we should start thinking about future rebranding....might have to push that back to $1bn, the media is loving the Dark side.
Personally I was certain they'd love the whole darkcoin thing. It "sells" as news.

Thanks for posting.
Good to see many of them were very conservative about their predictions, or refused to make one at all. I do agree that the price per BTC is far from the most interesting question here. What happens with the protocol as a whole is much more interesting. Didn't note who mentioned it, but i liked the comment about financial freedom/emancipation. Interesting to note that most people in Africa don't have access to a bank account, but do have mobile phones.
PS: I've always liked Alan Reiner (Armory) when i've seen him in vids. Seems like such a likable guy.
