I just had an idea of a good extra potential market for DarkCoin.
While browsing my torrent sites, ...looking for a rip of the latest BBC Top Gear..... I noticed the uploader had "help support us by donating in bitcoin".
I could totally picture them taking on DarkCoin rather than bitcoin as an extra layer of security for them!
Worth reaching out them them some how when the time is right. Would be great if it could become standard.

I think more useful would be the ability to also send small, twitter-sized messages instead of just transactions via darksend. Imagine that you could combine a transaction with a message or something like that. Hash the characters together and send it like a transaction, and all of a sudden, you have a really well encrypted, anonymous message system that overlays on an existing network.
This compromises anonymity (unless the message is utterly generic, in which case there's no reason to send it). You could argue that it's one person voluntarily compromising his/her own anonymity but because of the way DarkSend works, they're chipping away at the anonymity of everyone else involved in the mixing.
I don't think it would have to compromise anonymity. Unless you mean that the sender and receiver would not know each other - in which case, that might be true. However, if you are sending a coin transaction, you presumably have some idea who is on in other end.
What I mean is that a short message (eduffield would have to address a proper length) would be broken down just like a transaction, and sent like a transaction. After all, data is just data. There would be a reassembling and decoding at the other end. You are already processing cryptographic codes - why not use some of that hashing for encrypting a message?
It seems to me that an addition like that would allow you to further obfuscate the transactions because some of what is sent is no longer a "transaction" it is a message that is treated like a transaction.
The more traffic you have, the harder it is to follow the red car.

I've got a question that may have come up in the past 400 pages . . but I'm not digging through that. Regarding transaction malleability . . has anyone addressed this in this coin? I realize it may not be the biggest issue in the world right now, but with the press coverage this seems like a good thing to strike at while the iron's still hot. I'm pretty sure this would be a non-issue in DarkSend . . but it sounds like there will be a public ledger visible for those that continue to choose to send non-anonymously.
I saw Riecoin claiming a workaround to transaction malleability had been implemented in their coin, but have no clue if it actually fixed the issue. I'm just thinking that this could easily invite some welcome coverage amongst major news articles like Gox being taken down because of it. Even if that wasn't the actual case . . thousands of people saw that and accept it. Might be worth looking into is all I'm trying to get across.

This hasn't been addressed yet by anyone, but it would be funny if in all that code re-write eduffield has done, he's corrected the problem, LOL. Maybe he can answer this question?

Talking to me about DarkCoin is pretty much preaching to the converted - a true believer without needing too much in the way of evidence.
So here is the thing: once marketing gets under way, I find myself thinking the unthinkable: DarkCoin could unsettle Bitcoin in the eyes of Joe public.
Bitcoin is reaching a critical mass in terms of brand power and the network effect in terms of runaway adoption. People trust brands, especially those they see everyday, so it won't take too much longer for the public to start accepting Bitcoin as a mainstream payment tool.
Then comes this new kid and all the papers start writing about how Bitcoin is not exactly anonymous. People will ask - "That's a good thing, right? People can't use Bitcoin for bad things, like everyone says." Then they will put two-and-two together and workout that their transactions and spending habits will become part of the great public ledger. Why does the world need to know my Bitcoin wealth and that I went to strip bar?
What then, go back to Visa and PayPal? Once you get crypto, its hard to go back. Bitcoin either finds something to satisfy the masses of any privacy concerns, or - the unthinkable - DarkCoin steps up to the plate.

Evan will have to answer this one. Although transaction malleability is really the fault of exchanges, not the bitcoin protocol. If exchanges are properly coded, it presents no problem at all.
Ok guys, I've just contacted The Piratebay to ask them to add darkcoin to their list of donation possibilities. Also tweeted to Wikileaks.

Ubuntu 64bit,
the newest download doesn't have the denominate button and is giving me the same error when I try to denominate that requires me to send 1 then 10 to my other wallet in order to denominate.
"An error occurred created DarkSend compatible inputs. Error was Signing transaction failedAn error occurred created DarkSend compatible inputs. Error was Signing transaction failed"
wallet version 8.9.5-1
Did it get updated? I downloaded twice from the pdf link, same thing

Nice article. Found an error though,
Quote
On darkcoin's website there are a number of mining pools available as the coin, for now, is GPU resistant and has a relatively low difficulty
well and come to think of it, the difficulty isn't low relatively anymore either

Official fundraiser for Darkcoin marketing & branding
Since Darkcoin was 0% premined, we will be doing this the old fashioned way, with a fundraiser. Many people in the community have expressed an interest in pushing our marketing effort along. We wanted to make sure the time was right, while Evan sorted out the kinks in the Darksend code. But we are nearly ready to show Darkcoin and Darksend to the world, so let's get this moving.
I will release a list of bounties for marketing & branding in the next day or so when I have a bit of spare time. For now, you may donate to the official fundraising wallet (anonymously if you like!). You can also PM me with your donation details and I'll keep some accounting, if only for the sake of making sure your donation is accounted for and spent appropriately.
As always, you are a fantastic community and we appreciate your support!

Hi Evan...is this an official fundraiser wallet authorized by you and Ape? Not questioning LimLims...just want to have an official OK and green light from our devs that this approved by them as the approved wallet address. If this wallet is...can we have the official wallet address listed on the website and at the beginning of this forum thread so that no one can alter this wallet address and have the funds go to someones private wallet. Thanks.
Dammit there goes my plan...
I don't remember, what was your plan?
See bold
It's a good plan, so I still don't get it, LOL (I can be dense) This address should go on the first page and on the official site! Great idea!
Alter it in the quote was my plan but this whole put it up on the front page nonsense ruined it!
March 10, 2014, 07:07:55 PM
Just to echo what someone else said earlier.
What's going on with all the orphan blocks on the new official pool?!
One or two everynow and then isn't a problem, but I don't remember seeing any at all on the old pool. Now over 50% are orphan!
Someone take a look please!
I'm going to have to redirect my miners.. (to a p2p, not the one which has too much share)
Out of the last 18 blocks, 10 have been orphan.
Why so many orphans?What's going on with all the orphan blocks on the new official pool?!

Warning: Don't sell your DARK at this ridiculous price: a bot is trying to lower the price at the moment (to buy some cheap coins)
How? How can that be done?
those selling really dont look at the amount being sold, they just want to sell their coin, so they go lower than the lowest sell order, even though alot of those sell orders are for 5 drk or 10 or 2 etc... if you pile enough of those downward and then put up a big buy order close to the lowest, then you can catch alot of "i want to sell my coins now" sellers
Ah ha! brilliant!
March 10, 2014, 06:38:36 PM
Ah okay, from the previous pop up message, I was expecting to see some values that I could send or something like that. Kinda like "you can send 10DRK / 12.55 DRK" or something lol.
That's actually a good idea! maybe next time eduffield can make a running total "available to darksend" somewhere on the wallet (there's tons of space) then people will also know when they need to denominate, which would keep people from constantly hitting that button and bloating the block chain

Yeah, this is the official fundraising wallet.
On that announcement...I've just sent 200DRK and pledge another 300DRK once there is a list up with defined tasks and goals etc etc. I'll also pledge an additional 100DRK towards the Android wallet app.
Very nice, thank you so much!
