Not for ~£500 it isn't.

I probably shouldn't bother as your mind is obviously made up that DarkSend is "a joke", but here goes...

1. If you have truly been following the thread you would know that ring signatures have been discussed for DarkSend V2.

2. Why not do it now?  Well because you can't leave DarkSend in beta ad infinitum while Evan is continually trying to catch up to the "cutting edge".  At some point it has to be open sourced and released - and when it is... it will the best open source, fully released anonymous cryptocoin solution at the time.  If you know of any other anonymous coins that are not in alpha, beta, testing, brainstorming, or some other preliminary phase then point them out.  AFAIK, there are none.  

3.  The 1000DRK held in stasis while you function as a masternode (and get 10% of mining reward) is a better solution than having the masternodes being able to be set up at no cost.  Proof of stake while actually providing a service i.e. Proof of Service.  DRK will be one of the first coins with this feature.

4. Stop with the naivety in thinking that just because the NSA has "infinite" money that they can click their heels three times and buy up all the DRK and own all the masternodes.  To buy, you need people to sell - if the NSA tried this the coin price would go through the roof.

5. The NSA doesn't even care about DRK now and DarkSend would have to be a smash hit before they do.  By that time there will likely be a few thousand masternodes forcing them to add all the more value to the coin to accumulate enough masternodes.

6.  How much is "enough" anyway? Several rounds of DarkSend will be used by those really looking for anonymity.  The NSA would need what -- 65%?, 80%? of all the masternodes to get information reliably.  You only need to go through ONE clean node before you are anonymous.  To get all the DRK for that, just how much money would they need to dump into the coin? That in turn would just make DRK more widely known - what are the effects of that?

I could continue, but I won't.  You are drastically oversimplify things by saying "the NSA has a lot of money so therefore your solution of requiring 1000 DRK for masternodes is a joke".  This is a very good solution for the time being, i.e. DarkSend V1.  How it evolves after that point?  Well that is unknown, but the main reason I invested in this coin is not because DarkSend per say, but because Evan is dedicated to improving the anonymous solution that will be used with Darkcoin now and in the future -- whether that takes us to ring signatures or something else entirely.

2.8 MH on 780 Ti is impressive.

I wouldnt call ac2 a troll, he made some points and we should look into it without calling him a troll. We should appreciate discussion more in that area. Even if he is not right (I cant prove his statements) he should not be treated like an idiot.

Finally yeah!

testnet port is 19999.

Ok, this is getting really frustrating... Still have the damn "not capable masternode"

- updated to latest daemon 0.7.1 - DarkCoin version v0.10.7.0-5-g0023e01-beta
- deleted testnet3
- generated address 0 on local wallet,
- sent testnet mining rewards to local wallet to a NEW address, then re-send myself to address 0 exactly 1k
- blockheights match, 6+ confirmations, closed darkcoind

Home router port forwareded 9999

- Started remote darkcoind
- started local darkcoind masternode=Server_IP:9999
- un-encrypt wallet a few second
- masternode start

not capable masternode. How can this be!? There must be something in the config, maybe I need more nodes? maybe my IP got banned somehow?

More mn aggravation:

I can only see one of my masternodes when I run 'masternode list' from the mn itself, it does not show up from elsewhere.

On the mn, getinfo gives:
{
    "version" : 100701,
    "protocolversion" : 70014,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 1000.00000000,
    "blocks" : 65867,
    "timeoffset" : 0,
    "connections" : 11,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 1206.83445281,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1399685720,
    "keypoolsize" : 100,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "mininput" : 0.00001000,
    "unlocked_until" : 0,
    "errors" : ""
}
so it's connected and up to date.

nmap shows ports 9998,9999 open on mn.

darkcoin.conf is:

rpcuser=random_user
rpcpassword=random_password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
externalip=xx.xx.xx.xx
masternode=1
addnode=23.23.186.131

externalip is correct, conf is otherwise the same as my Amazon box which works fine.

Was previously trying to run this with a local wallet, was having problems with IP:0 showing on mn list, so made a new wallet, addr 0, which now lives on the mn, mn starts just fine.

Any suggestions?

Happy 10m in market cap people!

kidnap Evan and chain him

Still doing my DIY multipool thing....I'm a happy net buyer on the way up
