But now I am here. I mine it since a few days and I bought ~800 DRK today, so I can reach the 1k mark until the official DarkSend launch.

Does this make me a robber?



800 DRK at today's prices? That was a steal. So, technically, yes....you did rob someone.

Can someone explain to me what is going on in this block/transaction?  Block 17543 (000000000542628747303786cb09be1456998508cc3d70ede07b16c20fe75514), the only transaction (1b4c93a3bf49ad4855f74121aea68517b1073fd3a75943e19f956ae553cd2207), specifically the third output

99% of the current holders haven't been anywhere near the first days, so all these people are trying to do is to rob us.

I didn't find DarkCoin before mid-March and didn't start actively mining or buying it before early April (tried to do so in late-March but I got driver issues and the price jumped up right then...).

There were way too many coin launches between December and February and I didn't have the whole day (every day) to really check them all out.
I wish I found this coin earlier and spend less time by hesitating if it's really as good as it seems for the first look.

But now I am here. I mine it since a few days and I bought ~800 DRK today, so I can reach the 1k mark until the official DarkSend launch.

Does this make me a robber?


Thanks for this. Here's the official statement about the future of darkcoin and some more information about Masternodes.

Get a machine with a static ip

Why can't I use a dynamic DNS service?
anycoin.conf usually understands domain names, like connect=www.drkpool.com

I'll enable that at some point.
I don't know if that is a good idea or not. Isn't the idea of a master node is that they are on a server AND network expecting a fair amount of traffic? No server has a dynamic IP address, so by enabling it the only additional uses would be on a home computer on residential internet, which is not good for both the user (your ISP may not like it and shut you off/make you upgrade to business class internet, which would have a static IP, making this a moot point) as well as the network as a whole (my primary server has a 1 gigabit connection and great peering with everybody. my home internet has a 30 megabit connection with .75 megabit upload and shit peering.)

I thought I will try to run a Masternode at home (60/5 without p2p blocking) and move it to a paid server as the bandwidth/peering demand grows (if it grows...).
I don't expect the network demand to be huge in the first few months. Most of the DarkSend users will be curious testers.

What does I and a few colleagues mean?

Is there some investment group thing going on?

Not an investment group per say, it's just various people (friends/family/colleagues to be exact) who I talked to about cryptocurrencies, and as a result they invested large amounts of fiat into it (most in Darkcoins) over the last month.

It is very reassuring to hear from Evan that the core parameters are not going to change.

As the designer of #8, I still think #6 is by far the best. #2 just seems a bit too busy and probably won't scale well, but it seems like some people like it more than #6 because of its color scheme. The color scheme can be changed very easily, so I think we should bet too hung up on a design because it's "darkness" or lack therof. I think that's something that can be settled after a design is chosen.

Just an example of what could be done for those who think #6 is too dark (using #2's color scheme):


This is a pretty good compromise, and I love that it's coming from the designer of #8.  What a selfless move to say he still likes #6 best, and fixing it.  The blue makes this so much more trustworthy and appealing for the financial sector(imo).

Hello, Community,  I almost do not post in this thread but have been following DRK since late January. I am an adult, an investor and have so far invested around 30K USD into DRK. I love the product and if it is to be succesfull it will be based on its merits of offering value to its users, being Darksend and anonymity the most attractive feature and I hope there are more added in the future.

I am investing in the integrity of the DEV team, in the added value proposition of Darksend and in future additions like messaging, etc. The value of the coin is not in giving it away to miners as they see fit, the value is in offering benefits that bitcoin does not already offer to the intended end users, people like me, who don't mine.  This is in my opinion the only altcoin that is offering something BTC does not to regular users.  Other coins like Vert offer something to miners but it does nothing for me as an end user that BTC doesnt already do. So please DEV team, forget about complaining teenagers, show some respect for the people backing up this project and lets focus on adding features and benefits.

Finally, I will like to set up several master nodes, I lack the technical capability and time to do it myself but will be hiring somebody to do it for me. In that sense I would really appreciate a comprehensive guide on how to set up the master nodes, I think that would be a way better use of the time of the more technically inclined in this forum. Thanks



+1 Totally agree

Do not let teenagers/trolls/freeloaders to rob us - investors (I and few colleagues represent a large investment part too).

If someone can't understand what/how happened after it's been explained 100 times, deserves to be ignored.

Current distribution and inflation model is perfect - as others pointed out:
No early bag holders to dump
No early bag holders to manipulate the price
No daily millions of coins requiring insane amount of BTC to keep the price
Serious investors and miners involved.


I completely agree with you, everything core after this will be completely locked down (Name, Moneysupply, etc). We're done with that initial phase now, moving on to innovating and trying to build our brand.

Can you get that 1000 DRK back out of the demon or are they lost once send?

The money is still good, it's just locked while you're a masternode. To send it back out of the daemon you would need to disable the "masternode=1" in the config and restart.

Ah okay.  Many thanks, sounds good!  I'll have to check 5 times to make sure it's working before I send over the 1000 DRK lol.

It is almost 100% probable you will be able to spend the coins, but you will never be completely sure before you actually spend them. So, how does sending in 0.1 and spending 0.1 make it more probable that you will be able to spend 1000? Roll Eyes

Sounds great, I'll be setting up a master node or two.  I've run my own webservers for over 5 years so should be able to mange this.

In one of the steps you say to send over exactly 1000 DRK.   Does this have to be sent in one go?  I'd feel better sending over 0.1 DRK to test, then sent over 999.9 after.  Would that be okay?

Also, do we have to use the ISOs? Or is this just recommended? Cheers! Very excited for this.

You have to send 1000DRK at once. It needs in one single input for technical reasons.

ISO? You mean the AMI? That's for people that want something quick, definitely not required
