Can't mine this

sph-sgminer (v4.1.0) is missing zlib1.dll
sgminer says -a is an unrecognized option. If i delete "-a X11" all my shares are rejected (share above target)

Too big. Was several times over 51% of total hashing. So I guess it is not listed so that newcomers don't use it.
There are a lot of alternatives, even P2Pools with nodes almost all around the world.

thanks! I can hardly wait…

Why https://www2.coinmine.pl/drk/ pool is not listed in OP?

I think cryptos in general have a lot of potential. I mean most people don't even know what Bitcoin is, let alone altcoins. And, if you factor in that around three quarters of the planet live in countries with high inflation rate (not EUR, GBP, USD etc - which of course are inflated too but to a lesser degree), cryptos could be a nice alternative to the national currency - and much more convenient than gold for trade purposes.


Ah, well, I mean aurora is at 45$ when Lite is <15. And when you put the facts down, like 300k iceland citizens vs 450mn market cap, it's like 1.5k USD per icelander   Yeah, that will end up well...

Darkcoin is providing a second option vs the monopoly of transparency in which ther coins are in. This means that if someone wants their crypto deposits / crypto transactions to be more private they'll have to move over to DRK. The transparent market is at 100% right now while the more-private market is at near 0%. In terms of "market growth potential" what will happen should be pretty easy to figure out.

With a market cap of ~8bn (BTC+other alts) to 3mn (DARKcoin), the prospect of capital flowing toward the DRK side is "significant". Even if one per cent of the "transparent" market moves to the more private market, we're talking about 80mn USD boost that is there to share for DRK or other anon coins which may follow - and they will not be necessarily mutually exclusive (one could practice transferring money through 2-3 anon coins, implementing different solutions, for extra safety / privacy). Needless to say what may happen if tax authorities start to crack down on BTC. The "just 1%" may suddenly become several % - with a corresponding boost in value of the private coins.

I mean, from a market perspective, and with such prospects being there, even if the anon market is shared by 2-3-5 different coins in the long run, this is a 9-digit to 10-digit market (xxx millions to billions) that they will share between them. Current market cap of a few million USD may seem like a joke by then. With such fundamentals, who needs hype, or pump and dumps?

the betas are only being released by eduffield, compiled... no source available yet

But it will be not soon. This year total coins will be <10Mil

Cant see any DarkSend button, what am I missing?

I really can't manage to have stable mining with my 290: started at 2.4, and 30 min later I'm at 2.1 with memory switching between 1500 and 150mhs.
It does this with all my cards, someone fixed this with a bios modification or custom memory tweak?

Just the kind of answer I was looking for. Its in line with my general understanding too.

IMHO, I don't expect perfect privacy right away. DRK is one rung on the evolutionary ladder of cryptos in general.

I think the coin has promise, but even if it collapses, many man hours were spent marching in the right direction.

The Alc-coin market is a strange beast, with lots of chances for short term speculation with low market caps, where, if you time the market perfectly, you could make a few BTC's! Whoopdy s#@t. I guess its not that crazy to see the more major/ blatant scams going on, but still, its rarely for any amount of life changing money.

Develop something great - a good product - and you can do well. The community, and crypto- concept, will benefit as well. And even more to the point: develop something conceptually good/ innovative, behave in an above the board, professional manner, and who cares if the project ultimately collapses? You'll be in a much better position to join a reputable dev team down the line.

Yeah, wild west and all that, but I see so much short sighted-ness; not here bit in the crypto dev markets in general! Think 5 year plans, not about which coin will EXPLODE/ be the next BTC/ crypto gold rush. Think about how you will advance yourself/ skill set/ thinking in order to be a participant in pushing the general technology forward.

For all the BTC = Digi-gold analogies, I think the one below is worth mentioning, as I believe it applies perfectly to what is going on in the crypto world in general:

Business and entrepreneurs made far more money from famed 1849 San Francisco gold rush than the speculators ever did. The general crypto boom is over. Those who saw 8000%+ profits from BTC in < 2 years were the lucky few. Who we be the Levi Strauss of the crypto era - a man who started a small business selling new-fanged denim jeans to the gold miners back in '49. Perhaps you've heard Levi's?

DRK looks interesting enough, but whether or not it shoots up and outrageous amount to $20, or even $100 by next year is largely irrelevant, and cannot possibly make anything more than funny money compared to the fortune's that will be made by those who make cryptos usable, secure, feature rich, etc. Even law firms specializing in the necessary new wave of crypto-centric law will make millions more than most large scale investors in nearly every new coin.

/Rant

I'm happy to see a consensus among some posters here to NOT pump this coin because it will kill it. Thats awesome, and actually impresses me more than DRK haha.

The devs should go SLOW! Take you time. Get it right the first time. Beating Zerocoin to market, media hype, etc, ignore most of that. Focus on building a good product.

Yeah, it'll have bugs! Yeah, randos will DDOS the shit out of it. Admit your errors, ask for help, and keep acting responsibly as you go. Dont compromise the project by rushing for small profits.  

Best of luck.


Oh, and could you have SR2 announce they are now accepting DRK, even while in BETA, k, thx, bia, durrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :-/

 

  

    

I posted it before, but this is the DarkSend blockchain with a couple of transactions I made:

In indepth answer would be quite complex and probably only the lead developer is capable of answering accurately. The source isn't released so what you hear anywhere else is likely to be speculation or hearsay.

I've been talking with eduffield to try to get a bit of a layman's understanding of the ins and outs of darksend. A rough overview by my understanding:

Darksend affords better anonymity than normal clear transactions. It's not perfect anonymity, but it gets better as the network adoption of darksend increases, to the point where it may be extremely difficult/infeasible for anyone to trace a transaction. There may be exploits found, and I'm sure the devs will be actively working to find & patch them. Already one denial of service vulnerability has been found, and the dev is currently writing in a fix for it for the next release.

I'm getting the error "Kernel darkcoin is experimental" when I try to run it

EDIT - nvm it's working now, thanks!

Let's just say that there are at least 100 first hand witnesses here and tens of us that got our BTCs stolen on c-cex. The incident was also discussed here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/c-cex-has-frozen-your-btc-not-to-be-trusted-485029

The coin price, pre-ccex incident, was ranging from 0.0019 to 0.0024 - and after the drop from the dumps, it's rising up again. You can see the spike here: https://c-cex.com/index.html?p=drk-btc


Private enterprises don't have NSA-grade resources, nor do they "own" the internet and computing devices which are implanted with all sorts of backdoors.

Is DarkCoin/ DarkSend completely anonymous? This is a blunt question and I'm not trying to troll. I hear a lot of back and forth with this, with lots of tech talk I don't really understand.

From what I can tell, it seems that even with DarkSend, its simply harder, but not impossible to trace it. I've even hear this from DarkSend supporters, with one saying, vaguely

"yeah, not impossible to trace, esp for small operations like police, banks, hackers, etc. But the NSA could prob trace it if they wanted"

I'm not saying that not good enough. That would be a step in the right direction, but represents merely a head step in the technological arms race. If police departments wanted an easy way to trace any crypto, couldn't a private enterprise specialize in doing just that in a cost competitive way, and offer it as an affordable service?

  

You only own them if you have them on an address where you own the private key. If you put them on another site, like an exchange, you give up ownership to the site holder. It's no longer in an adress you control. Then you have no more control over the money than if you put it in a regular bank or something like that.

Can someone explain some basic things to me:

First, source to above story?

Second, how can someone randomly/ accidentally get BTC in their account/ wallet?

Third, how could it be hard to transfer them out?? Its bitcoin! This is something I've never understood. When I hear stories like "You can't cash out BTC from {Exchange}, I'm always like WTF? Cant you just send to an address. Sure, confirmations can take time, and there can be other delays, buy when are BTC impossible to move? Once you own them, isn't it irreversible?

Thanks,

n00b :-)

Should use sph-sgminer (v4.1.0) from this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-sph-sgminer-multi-coin-multi-algorithm-gpu-miner-added-marucoin-475795

Faster than the original sgminer for Darkcoin by 10% on my R9 290.
