Anybody else feel that way? Or am I just old? LOL
Yea watching the charts takes it's toll. Barely got any sleep the last 2 nights.
Like a crack addict - check it before sleep, waking up to pee, first thing in the morning. Yeah.

Will the Draksend feature become open source?
Yes.
That to me is a slight concern.
Here is why. darkcoin is one of the few coins that has something beneficial and different. Clones are sure to appear.
If Darkcoin is to have a market cap in the tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, as it becomes more widespread, then it needs to get the marketing right IMHO.
Otherwise someone will come out with a clone called "goodcoin"...and I think that the wider community is far more likely to go with something like that than Darkcoin.
I belive at some stage if the coin wants to fulfill it's potential the name will have to change.
Just my 2 cents
With an important feature like your anonymity, would you trust a clone or the original development team?

hmm bag holding at 0.0049 but happy about it

off to the pub to celebrate 
Pissed as a fart, drunk as a sunk and still loving the DRK one, price up or price down. Whose the daddy of alt-coins
How do you like them apples ^

I really don't know how payments are going to work yet. Evan is testing something right now, but I think he was the only one running a masternode, and he said it's still buggy.
I think Evan will eventually put together an AMI on Amazon for easy setup, quote from darkcointalk "We will be working on creating AWS AMI’s for you to use as well as Ubuntu ISO images ...." Right now, it's the cheapest place to run masternodes.
Geepers, I feel so burned out from all the excitement these past couple of days! I'm so glad the price dropped even so I lost coin. It was just too much excitement for me, LOL

While on the subject of master nodes, how does one make it so payments from a master node are sent to another wallet address. Is that possible?
April 26, 2014, 08:12:45 PM
any guides on how to run a masternode?

is this something we can do to help support the infrastructure? I'm willing to help out however I can.

I suggested something to Evan last night. Imagine this; The master nodes are decentralized. There will be a lot of them by the time this gets going, therefore they are another decentralized service. What if you put the blockchain on them to serve up? What if wallets don't have to hold 17 gigs of blockchain, but are all lightweight due to the MasterNodes serving up this information when needed? The lightweight wallets for bitcoin use a centralized solution, and if everyone used only lightweight wallets, the network would be easily destabilized. Not with MasterNodes. MasterNodes could enable everyone to use a light wallet! Now thinking along those lines... can you think of other things DarkCoin MasterNodes would be able to do for everyone? Just use your imagination...
I floated exactly this idea, and then it came to pass... ;-)
Yah, I'm thinking other uses might be an exchange, or how about that dark...er... commerce thing? We could make a decentralized ebay-like bidding site. We could also charge a VERY minimal fee for it, and make a lot of coin for the masternodes that way without dipping into mining rewards. This would make the masternodes worth more when the mining rewards dip even lower. There are endless possibilities.
That's exactly what I was thinking when I read your post. Also, TS do you know if master nodes get paid only if they are selected for the darksend or if all master nodes share the reward of each block between them?
They get paid only if they are selected.
Thanks. Thought I read that somewhere just wasn't sure.

We all understand this, but frankly, no serious users will ever use a closed source system. But to relieve your fears a bit, integrating DarkSend into an existing coin will be very difficult. According to Evan, the developer, it will take someone with real skill and it will be very easy to break your existing coin. Second, most of us believe we have something special just because we have Evan Duffield as our developer. This MasterNode thing is going to enable us to do things not thought of yet.

If anyone has any doubts about DarkCoins future.... Think on the above.... Think about our fantastically gifted developer who can implement anything. If you still don't see it, I can't help you, you're limited, LOL
This plus the dual licensing (yes me again with this
)That would be great, but I don't have enough knowledge of licensing to know if it's possible. There is also the probability that it would simply be ripped off anyway, and then what could we do? Sue? In a court of law? Either you function outside the system or enslave yourself to the system. The community already pretty much "polices" cloned coins by not taking any that don't offer anything new seriously. Sure, scams are everywhere, and newbs get taken for a ride, that's life. Everyone has to beware and careful in the wild west. But this is a different world with no guarantees.
Yeah but can you trust a dev (and his coin) if he uses DarkSend without permission ? In that case it can be self-policed using the community trust.

Thank you. Is there a link that explains "master nodes". I like the coin and want to support it but I'm just not very tech savvy to be honest, though I'm trying to increase my knowledge.Where can I learn about the benefits of DRK?
[...] please do it on a server such as an Amazon EC2 tiny [...]
I think it's better to diversify the hosts. (reliable + DDOS protection included)
I wouldn't disagree. I'm just thinking it's better than running it off of your desktop at home
It needs to be a dedicated server, IMO, to protect your stake. That 1000 coins is worth 1600 bucks right now! I don't want to see anyone who doesn't know what they're doing lose their coin, more than I care about the network. That would be painful to watch.
