Epic dark dump on c-cex. Someone sold dark down to 0.00000008 satoshi. I'm not mad. I'm quite impressed.
Well, dont be. This will only spread the darkcoins into hands of many. Given that the coin is successfull, this will make no damage in the long run.Is that what happened? I just bought some btc again on coinbase but it won't clear until Wednesday. I hope the prices stay low until then, but knowing my luck.... LOL
Spike down to 0.000007 on C-Cex on a dump of over 10,800 DRK. Users complaining that they had buy orders placed much higher than that, but they were never filled. And then shortly afterwards dumping on Cryptsy and Poloniex that undid all of the price recovery achieved in the last day or two.
Not that I'm suggesting YET ANOTHER C-Cex screw-up let someone get their hands on thousands of coins at prices that should have never happened, and that they then withdrew to other exchanges as fast as possible to dump for a huge profit.
The sooner that "exchange" (and I use the term loosely) folds for good, the better. It's a cancer on DRK in particular.
Actually you know what you're right, all of this price sodomy has all been linked to C-Cex in one way or another...
Fuck it, get the pitchforks out!

Here it is!
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Securing_your_wallet
A pretty paranoid piece, so perhaps incorrect, however if you look down to the section that says Securing the Bitcoin-QT or bitcoind wallet, you'll see what I read. Perhaps I'm understanding it wrongly. Or perhaps it's wrong? Please, smart guys and gals out there, check it out and confirm or clarify for us
Thanks
So when a backup is first created, it has all of your old keys plus 100 unused keys. After sending a transaction, it has 99 unused keys. After a total of 100 new-key actions, you will start using keys that are not in your backup. Since the backup does not have the private keys necessary for authorizing spends of these coins, restoring from the old backup will cause you to lose Bitcoins.

Now is definitely a great time to buy. The DRK price is artificially low due to these big dumps occurring.
Darkcoin is clearly undervalued when you compare its market cap to other coins. Darkcoin is definitely more innovative than Mintcoin. Darkcoin's proper list on this market cap list should be right below Worldcoin. Which would put the price at .00243 DRK/BTC.

BTW: I just read something tonight on the bitcoin wallet, and since our wallets are based on the bitcoin wallet, I'll have to assume it's true of ours. I read that the wallet creates 100 addresses, and you use them up for everything you do, such as send someone a payment, receive a payment, etc... I think it even "uses up" an address for payments from mining. Anyway, once you use them up, the wallet creates 100 new addresses.
The point being that if you think, as I did, that you only need one, original backup of your wallet, it's not so! You're constantly using up that 100 addresses, and if you don't re-save your wallet.dat file after the next 100 addresses are created and used, and something happens, all the newer transactions can be lost to you!
So maintaining your wallet backups is extremely important. You need to guesstimate how often you need to backup, or simply backup often. You can do it with the wallet backup function on the main menu, I forget which drop-down item, 'cause I don't have my wallet on this machine to look at, but from there, you can name the file, something like DarkCoin_2-26-14.dat and save it anywhere you like from that menu. No need to close the wallet even.

you only need to backup your wallet once, the addresses being talk about are the recieving addresses, your wallet private key, is only 1 key, the rest is calculated from that key
The article said that the wallet only knows about the addresses after they're created and therefore if the wallet is not backed up after the latest block of 100, and the wallet is corrupted, coin would be lost. I wonder if this was a proposal, though I thought I read it in bitcoin wiki or something... dang why didn't I save the page!?!?!?!

For the first exchange to accept dark and contribute to the rise, it's been way worse for the recent fall. Pay people back, close up shop.
February 27, 2014, 11:47:13 AM
That's quite annoying, although I can't actually find any evidence of that happening. Guessing you need to be logged in at C-Cex to check trade history, I don't have an account there.
Also I've been having a weird problem with my wallet (windows user). Basically all my coins have been sent to ONE address from the exchanges. On my laptop I have created 3 addresses (although 2 have never used). This wallet has 185 DRK. I backed up my wallet.dat (just to prove I'm backing the correct thing the one in %appdata%\Roaming\DarkCoin) and placed it in that dir on my desktop. On my desktop it shows I have only 25 coins and 1 transaction instead of 4 (even though all 4 transactions have been to the wallet address displayed on my desktop QT).
I've tried using the same QT as on my laptop, downloading new QT (thought maybe old version), but I can't seem to get my desktop to realise my wallet has 185 coins in it. My laptop knows though, same wallet.dat.
What the..?

seems like the same problem i worked on earlier...
I just want piece of mind I have a wallet.dat file backed up with all my damn coins retrievable lol
delete old on desktop, delete wallet-qt download latest, let it sync, send over 1 coin see if it goes through, if yes, backup wallet (through menu or close down wallet-qt then copy) then send over the rest
or test with 0.00001? or less. Always, always, ALWAYS TEST FIRST. Always, always, ALWAYS BACKUP.
Correctly, back up correctly! I'm seeing so many do it from the Appdata directory with an open client.
And again, I also read about how the client creates 100 addresses that are used for every kind of transaction, I don't understand it all, but you use them up pretty quickly depending on how often you have transactions coming or going through your wallet. When you use up those 100, a new 100 addresses are created. This is a feature that supposedly helps obfuscate bitcoin transactions a little bit.
the point being, that if you last backed up before the latest batch of 100 addresses, or maybe several batches if you've had your wallet for months or years and only backed up once, you will lose any transactions that happened using any not-backed-up addresses. You must back up your wallet on a regular basis!
I did not know that myself until I happened to be reading up on it in a wiki or something yesterday. Wish I had the link, but I want to spread that info in case it helps someone avoid tragedy. Wallets need to be backed up often as they change! -simplistic, but works, LOL -

When you buy bitcoin on coinbase it locks in the current price. I'm assuming you actually want the price to increase, not decrease. It would be worth more once its deposited into your account than when you purchased it

PLEASE! back up you wallet by using the File > Backup Wallet feature. IF you backup your wallet from the /AppData/ directory, you MUST be sure to have your wallet closed FIRST.

is now a good time to buy? Haven't really followed anything dark related
It's a great time to buy. DarkCoin is not a hype and pump/dump coin. It has attracted attention through actual value by means of the soon-to-be-beta (actually-in-alpha) DarkSend functionality (in addition to 11 different hashing algorithms which make it ASIC resitant, Kimoto Gravity Well (KGW) which makes it safe from multipools for example and adjusts difficulty every block and a great professional developer). This new feature will allow you to send coins anonymously directly from the wallet without passing by TOR (darkweb) or through a mixing service which requires trust in the operator of said service and also involve fees (2%). It is a trustless solution straight from the wallet and it will be the first coin to achieve such a feat. It experienced natural growth, going from around 0.00005 BTC when first hitting markets to 0.0025 BTC without any kind of useless hype (e.g. Maxcoin).
If you look at the price now though, it is quite a bit lower, ranging from 0.001 to 0.0014 depending on the market. What happened? One of the exchanges on which DRK trades (C-CEX) had a malfunction/hack which allowed a user to gain access to hundreds of BTC for free, which he couldn't cash out. He figured out that by buying DarkCoin, he could then transfer it out of the exchange easily, this caused a huge spike in buys since he put in around 300 BTC worth and bought up all DarkCoins up until 0.0075 BTC or 7.5 millibits. He then proceeded to transfer all those coins to another exchange (Poloniex) and started dumping as much as possible, as quickly as possible, with no regard for price. This caused a chain reaction which lasted for around 4 days. At first the coin recovered admirably to the dumps, staying very close to its regular price after a few dumps. After two days though, the price couldn't hold up anymore and we suspect that a lot of very early adopters started getting scared and began dumping as well.
Through some investigation and through a mixture of guilt, the "hacker" (who claims he actually isn't a hacker and the BTC simply appeared due to a mistake), came back and contacted the right people to start giving back the BTC he had taken from the exchange, since a lot of other people were affected and had their funds frozen. Of course he had lost a lot of value by filling very cheap buy orders for DRK so he can't possibly give it all back but the important thing is the dumps are stopped now and the coin has stabilized again. It has found solid ground and is starting to rise again. This rise will be fueled by the 3rd DarkSend alpha test which is happening tomorrow and after that, the developer (eduffield) has said that the beta will come soon as the code is very solid.
You have a unique chance right now to buy into a coin which really isn't supposed to be available at these prices anymore due to its real value. Only reason it's low right now is because of the situation I explained above. It belongs on the top of the charts as much as other coins with added functionality such as Peercoin/Namecoin for example. It's not a simple clone like 99% of other coins and it's here to stay.
TL;DR - Great time to buy
Nice writeup of events!
Now is definitely a great time to buy. The DRK price is artificially low due to these big dumps occurring.
Darkcoin is clearly undervalued when you compare its market cap to other coins. Darkcoin is definitely more innovative than Mintcoin. Darkcoin's proper list on this market cap list should be right below Worldcoin. Which would put the price at .00243 DRK/BTC.

What products/services do people here desire to purchase for Darkcoin?
I don't have the development skills to launch a Dark Road, but maybe an independent onion site for a particular niche.
Please PM me if you have any requests or suggestions.

VPN services, anonymous domain registration, anonymous hosting, adult entertainment services/products ... just on top of my head, all these products/services are legal and could make good use of an anonymous payment system, this is the real use and target of this coin, I'm quite sure there are many more.

LOLNah, I've bought from Overstock, bed sheets, backpacks, etc...
I actually buy a lot of stuff online, just regular stuff. I like drugstore.com because I don't have to look at shelves and shelves of stuff trying to find what I want, also books and music. If they accepted dark in the future, I'd be super happy

It happened once to me that by mistake with the copying and pasting in c-cex I killed all the buying orders, it was the 1st or 2nd day they added DRK, there weren't more than 4 or 5 orders with very small amounts, so I was lucky, I bet it was the same, there is no reason to go down to 8 satoshi.
