out of curiousity, is there any chance in reducing the block time for 2.5mins? There are alot of coins that have much faster block times now which would lend to be better accepted as a currency for every day purchases in the future.
No. This is wrong and people shouldn't practice it. Bitcoin is fine with 10 minute block as well.

why is this wrong. The 10-minute block times that BTC has make it unusable as an everyday currency, no? Who wants to wait that long for an in-store purchase and such? At least DRK's block times are alot lower, but still 2.5mins could be a long time to wait if used as a currency for day-to-day purchases.

The time to process a credit card payment can be much longer.

Dumb question if someone can help: How can one verify that they sent money to someone if its anonymous?  Is there a way of overcoming this or are there various sending methods?  Anon payments are great but tracked payments have their place as well.

If you own a shop, you can have an address assigned to each client like the exchanges do (you'll know that your client sent the money, but you'll not know from what wallet). And if you are neither the client nor the seller, you don't have to track payments in the first place.  Smiley

Dark Wallet article in Wired Magazine:

‘Dark Wallet’ Is About to Make Bitcoin Money Laundering Easier Than Ever

http://www.wired.com/2014/04/dark-wallet/?mbid=social_fb



Was this kid really so stupid as to say this?

"Wilson described his intentions for Dark Wallet more directly: “It’s just money laundering software.”" about dark wallet?

Do people really not understand privacy?  We have given up so much of our privacy that nobody values what it gives us anymore!  My family posts pictures of me on the internet and then tags them with my name, and sees nothing wrong with that!  My old work took a picture of me without my permission, in fact I told them not to, and still stuck a picture of me on the internet.

There is no respect for personal privacy anymore!  It just amazes me!

I know what you mean, drives me nuts being surveilled at all times. Luckily I have a godlike body and an ugly face, so anyone taking my picture usually crops my head out of the shot.  Grin

Sorry, you really can't have both.  Anonymous means ecash, once you loose, have stolen, spend, etc... cash, you can't get it back.  What do you get though?  You get a receipt.  You must trust the company to uphold the integrity of your receipt.

So yah, you'll have to use something else if you want transparency because they're mutually exclusive.

By "ready to deploy" I thought it was implicit that they're "mining with customer's pre-orders"

In a world of trustless finance, pre-order mining investors are the biggest trusting dumb-asses in history.

I think they must have steadily upped the flouride in the water supply...

Hi

did someone successfully build and run the wallet on a i686 (=32 bit) linux ?

i build successfully, but then after start, the sync stops at block "blocks" : 45993,

2014-04-29 20:04:48 received block 00000000000b304562f734cdc04f201f9e0497188a26362f76b4642606ebbc70

I have used the latest git source.

Please help, I would like to set up a p2pool node for DRK.
And no, I can not switch to x86_64, as I have other p2pools up and running at the moment on the same node.

DRK is the only one that does not work (at the moment).

thanks

It's naive to think they aren't already on the networks, aka, "testing" but it's going to get worse. I love people punching in ROI returns for the knc miner using today's difficulty, as if it will stay static by the time 200+ units go online.

I think the question was: Does this coin have a plan to go PoS instead of PoW?

No.

It could be argued that master nodes are PoS though. You gotta have money to make money, PoS style.

No argument there! You park 1k in a masternode to be eligible for darksend %.

Pure PoS, alongside PoW from the blockchain.

The 10 coin cap is temporary, eventually you will be able to darksend larger amounts.  Currently you can just send the 1000 coins without darksend enabled, I think this will always be an option if someone doesn't want to use darksend they don't have to.
I meant something else. Let me refine my question-

Sender A sends 4 darkcoins to receiver B.
According to the scheme you and Evan disscussed, receiver B gets 4x1DRK, each residing in a separate 'change address'.
After many similar transactions, B holds for the stake of argument 1,000 drk in his wallet, but they are scattered across 1,000 different 'change addresses'.

Suppose Receiver B now wants to have all the coins in one address for whatever reason, for example to set up a masternode. He has 1,000 coins in his wallet, but only he knows that because the blockchain sees it as 1,000 different change addresses. He therefore MUST send all his coins to a single address without using darksend even when darksend will support mixing of 1,000 coins per transaction.

Am I missing something?

The receiver gets all his Dark in one address. The sender gets their change denominated into new addresses.

Part 2 is correct if we assume B has many addresses full of coin. All the coins would move at the same time. However, your situation is worst case scenario, going from many small change addresses to the largest denomination.
