Is it really a good thing to have one guy owning 5% of the coin? Seems worrying. Hope it's an exchange or pooled investment address.

There are bigger whales -- at least one person with 300k and another with 200k and likely a few others. This one just happens to hold it in a single public key (which is generally bad practice).

Honestly I wouldn't worry about these large holdings. DRK doesn't have the liquidity to handle such large amounts so they'll be holding for a long time.

I might be overwhelmingly naive and optimistic, but perhaps its an exchange (BTC-e???) that is accumulating drk in order to introduce it and have the liquidity to support it...

NOW THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING!!!

Its Argentina....they are going to make DRK the national currency.

Source?

He's joking...

Sorry to get you all excited.

Obviously not Argentina.

Password protecting the goddamn wallet on startup would alleviate the sender-record problem at least.

I never understood why this is not standard.

I've been going on about this since page 600 and you're the only person who's noticed. Cheesy

I'm not even sure what this means to be honest. Are you saying you shouldn't need to manually encrypt wallet and add password, it should prompt for a new password as soon as the wallet launches for the first time?

Not the first time, because you haven't set a password yet, but if you've encrypted your wallet, it should ask you for a password subsequently, before opening up and allowing everyone and anyone to see full records of your transactions. Or copying your .dat and viewing everything you've done later.

You expect to have to enter a password to see your banking online, right? And your email, and your exchange accounts, and just about everything else, for good reason. For an "anonymous" coin, it's a baffling omission.

Hmm, yes that is a good point. I agree a password should be required to see history of transactions. The problem I see is that the more times you input your password the more chances a malicious key-logger has to get your coins. :/ It guess it is a tradeoff.

Then maybe the same anti-keylogging measures that are taken with internet banking then?

It's a nuisance... but i agree it is in place, especially if it comes as a checkbox "require password on start-up" that i can un-check if i want to avoid this every time.
