Correct, that refers to ZKP-based approaches. CryptoNote uses ring signatures so it doesn't require any such thing.

Actually, it looks like monero is doing something similar to what Evan has done.  Would have to read it closer.  Still, why is this person here tolling?  What is their point?  They don't seem to understand anything about Darkcoin beyond coinjoin?

Where is all this hashpower coming from ?

Stratum exploit ? Asics ? Not so secret sgminer settings ? Botnets ? lol

Looks like we're doing ok, the trolls are visiting again 

They're talking about zerocoin there, right? Section topic is "How does this compare to other anonymous solutions?"

I don't believe for a second that anyone at the NSA has bought a single dark, we're coming up on their blind side.  They simply can't function that quickly.  Those at the decision making levels haven't taken notice of us, who are we?  Even if they did, they'd need over 50% of the masternode, and with several levels of mixing the transactions, there only needs to be one masternode in there that they don't control.  So when finished, if each darksend transaction goes through 5 levels of mixing, I don't even think 75% control would do it.  Certainly not consistently, they'd have to get lucky.

I know the idea is to hide from the NSA, but my interest is hiding from the public, and I believe this does a better job.  Clean, simple, using logic rather than math that I don't understand.  If I can't understand it, I don't want to deal with it.  It's good we have personal choice like this.  I see absolutely no flaw in Evan's take on privacy

 

Trolls don't bother with facts. If he replies to your post I bet that he will say the same thing again.

"Other issues include the RSA private key used to initiate the accumulator, which must be trusted to be destroyed by the generating party"

Your premise is that it's easy to buy the DRKs. However this goes contrary to market operation, in that escalating demand makes the price to skyrocket disproportionately as the available supply diminishes.

Ie the first one million DRKs you can purchase for, say, $3 per coin making you a bill of 3m usd. The second million coins will cost way more, like $30 (30mn usd). The third million will cost 300$ per coin to gather from 50% to 75% of the coins and that's at 300mn usd for that million.

The last 25% will be in the billions in terms of price. And then you have to buy the daily supply of, say, 7000 coins x 1000 usd each = 7mn per day... And if you do that, then you have to do that also to every coin having DarkSend implemented. So every coin that launches (or implements) DarkSend will be a quick target for NSA acquisition, so it's a guaranteed price success, so new clone coins would be guaranteed sell-offs to the NSA which will be, in a sense, turned to cryptoland's cashcow which we we will be gladly milking as we sell our DarkSend enabled coins and mine new ones etc. And the NSA will do that, while, as you say, there is cryptonote out there, or zerocoin tech etc etc.

From a game theory perspective, they'll have to find another vector. This would be too costly with too little reward, even for their budget - primarily because it's a never-ending game.

Are you thinking of anoncoin? AFAIK cryptonote doesn't have that problem, but I could be wrong.

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

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?

Apparently I'm the only miner and my rig was frozen! I started it back up.

Ok i am putting some HashRate on the testnet pool, not blocks are moving along.

FUD?

We must buy some Asia Coins instead ?   That smell like trolling, you came here with some agenda.  

You keep saying the same thing over and over again without answering my original points.

1.) How do you know the key was destroyed? What if they faked it?
2.) What happens when an exploit is discovered and the entire blockchain is cleartext in 10 years.

Good luck... sounds like a honeypot.

I'd rather stick with proven technology that's easy to understand. Looking at the market cap, many people agree with me.

Yep, very easy - and not that expensive - to do.

Every masternode has access to the transaction info for that iteration.

This is NOT anonymity. This is a hack solution, hoping that an adversary does not control the masternodes the network asigns to your solution, on the assumption that it is too expensive for said adversary to own enough masternodes.

Read up on Monero (and no i do not own coins...yet). The solutions put forward - although simple in their user implementation - are well though through mathematical solutions.

Darksend is, well, quite hack. It relies on the false premise that it will be too expensive for an adversary to exploit...

FALSE FALSE FALSE.

Buyer beware. Well no....buyer will do ok. User beware, your transactions are not anonymous

And then there was one.

I see everything hung up 5 hrs behind on block 3562,  my MN is also not seeing anyone else on TN:

{
    "version" : 100701,
    "protocolversion" : 70014,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 9792.50050899,
    "blocks" : 3562,
    "timeoffset" : -1,
    "connections" : 5,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 0.08222917,
    "testnet" : true,
    "keypoololdest" : 1399582516,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "mininput" : 0.00001000,
    "errors" : ""


mn list
{
    "99.173.XX.XXX:19999" : 1
}

People who are aware of this coin will buy before the 14th (in anticipation of a price rise), not after. That is, I assume, why the price is going up now. Why would the price rise even more right after the 14th?
