How do I send my BTCD to a local wallet?
We have updated the bitcoindark.com website!
Now we got the links to the wallet downloads, and a step-by-step guide about sending your BTCD from an exchange to your local wallet.
thank you for update.

I got half the iguana dPoW notary code debugged. It is already coded to monitor the KMD chain and BTC chain and make the appropriate transactions to both chains.
For all running a testnet notary node, the following are prep instructions to get ready for activating dPoW notarized transactions, which I expect to be enabled next week.
testnet is chugging along fine, though i guess according to the former poster, none of this is anything special.
testnet stats:
"blocks" : 14770,
"timeoffset" : -53,
"connections" : 40,
"proxy" : "",
"difficulty" : 2.12729565,
dPoW notary config:
0. Install and start ../agents/iguana add any coin via coins/genbtcd or coins/basilisk
1. Create an iguana wallet with encryptwallet if you dont already have one:
curl --url "http://127.0.0.1:7778" --data "{\"agent\":\"bitcoinrpc\",\"method\":\"encryptwallet\",\"passphrase\":\"use high entropy passphrase that generates the pubkey\"}"
2. Create an executable (chmod +x) file "SuperNET/iguana/wp" with the following in it:
curl --url "http://127.0.0.1:7778" --data "{\"method\":\"walletpassphrase\",\"params\":[\"same passphrase as above\", 9999999]}"
Now from SuperNET/iguana if you run ./wp it will show the various addresses including "btcpubkey" which is your notary pubkey. Post this in #notarynode if you havent already.
3. create a text file SuperNET/iguana/myip.txt with just your ip address in it:
12.34.56.78
The ipaddress is only used for registering notary node and not directly correlated with your pubkey.
4. copy SuperNET/iguana/coins/btc btc_7776 kmd and kmd_7776 up one directory to SuperNET/iguana and edit "path" to match your home directory. if your home directory is /home/username then \"path\":\"home/username\"
5. make a copy of SuperNET/iguana/wp -> SuperNET/iguana/wp_7776 and change port 7778 to port 7776
6. make a copy of SuperNET/iguana/tests/dpow_7776 to SuperNET/iguana/dpow_7776 and edit the pubkey to match your btcpubkey from above
**********
The assetchains I released yesterday will be upgraded to plug into the dPoW
The DEX I released last week will then be able to atomically swap across the different chains directly, without any third currency involved.
After the iguana dPoW tx generation is completed, what is left to do is:
a) updating latest notarized height based on the notarized tx data
b) prevent overwriting blocks below notarized height
c) detection of special transactions to update list of current notaries
d) award 5% APR for utxo older than a week when they are spent
e) round robin mining difficulty
Those are the only required komodo side changes that I have identified so far. I work steadily to achieve completion and will continue to post the details.
All of this is already open source and available in my various repos:
http://github.com/jl777/komodo - fork of zcash + dPoW host
http://github.com/jl777/iguana - C codebase from scratch, include bitcoin protocol, DEX, etc.
http://github.com/jl777/assetchains - fork of BitcoinUnlimited + dPoW client + spawn new coin from commandline
Whether any of this is anything special, I leave that for the reader to decide. It is unarguable that it is being completed and delivered.

Now we got the links to the wallet downloads, and a step-by-step guide about sending your BTCD from an exchange to your local wallet.
I am wondering why it is relevant to update or download the BitcoinDark wallet when it obsolete soon when Komodo comes out? Or will BitcoinDark be further developed along with Komodo?
Komodo is BTCD 2.0, so the BTCD can be swapped for KMD after the ICO. For more info see our Steemit article.
how can I participate in the ico, I like to buy KMD?
The start of ICO is the 15th of October.Due to demand, we might offer a whale discount to purchase the week before, but it would require a large amount of BTC, for a slightly higher bonus.
LOL collect collect collect BTC with all such promises and watch...no delivery in future of anything special. Only hope such whales will manipulate coin for you.
Hello! Please read this article that explains the misconception that there would not be any progress.
Since we wrote that article the Komodo development is also in GitHub: https://github.com/jl777/komodo
To follow more closely the Komodo development you can read jl777's developer blog

How do i get my private key from the wallet?
with a signature you can prove you control the privkey that generates a specific pubkey, without divulging the privkey.
from debug console you can do dumpprivkey
or backupwallet
or dumpwallet
or backupwallet
or dumpwallet

Now anyone can control one of the 64 nodes which are needed for the Komodo Notary Network.
I have for rent:
6 (or 8, when i'm not getting elected) BadAss Notary Node incl. colo in a bulletproof location in the Netherlands.
A node can also be swapped with one of the servers in another geographic region!
1 x Intel Xeon L5520 (4 cores/8 threads) you can use 2 threads for Komodod and 2 for Bitcoind and others for administrative tasks.
64GB memory
1 x 500GB Samsung Enterprise SSD (no consumer version)
15TB bandwidth
1 x IPv4 addresses
KVM access and control panel
Installed with preferrable Linux distro
200USD per month in BTC (3 months up front)
I can fully secure the server and install everything for you for a fee if you don't know how to do that (one time 100usd). It is also possible that i manage the server for a fee (25usd per month)
My DC has an uptime of 99.9% (in reality it is 100%). jl777, BTCDdev and others can confirm this. All servers are directly connected to the AMS-IX backbones.
Keep in mind, you'll get 500usd per month in KMD & BTC (if KMD are not 500usd worth at that time). So a profit of 300USD. 200USD you pay me in BTC.
3 months up front, after that payment per month or annually (with discount 1 month FREE).
You rent the server ANONYMOUS. But please, don't think you can abuse the server. Phishing, spam mailruns, kiddyporn and terrorism is strictly forbidden!!
When payment is not received at the first week of a new month, the power goes down and you lose the right to be the owner of the node. A new owner will get elected and the pubkey will be changed on the notary node list.
ELECTION (READ THIS!)
Only elected people can get a spot. Server admins will get elected by the shareholders. This means that you can still be on the list for a spot, even when i already have 6 clients. If they won't get elected their spot comes available again. So I am looking for 14 possible clients.
You only pay when you get elected! So, basically this offer is a no brainer. Get elected and earn 300usd per month!
CURRENT LIST:
- yassinnxt
- pondsea
- stenkross
- proto
- Killakem
- Durerus
- Frl4web
- bitcoinuserx (reserve)
- polycryptoblog (reserve)
- (reserve)
- (reserve)
- (reserve)
- (reserve)
- (reserve)
Only 1 spot per client
Q&A
- What do i need to do when i get elected?
Setup the server as a Komodo Notary Node, sit back and relax. Of course you have to secure the server so do your maintenance and updates.
- How do I get elected?
I don't know. Do a trump campaign, act crazy like Clinton or hug the shareholders? It's all up to you. Or read this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16450895
- Is it really free money?
Well..uhm yeah. Get elected, run the node, receive Komodo's and there it is. Free money.
- What if the Komodo's are not worth the 500usd?
jl777 will give the rest in BTC from the ICO funds.
- Ok, i'm in, what to do?
Write a message in this topic why you want the node. And if you trust me up front, write me a trust review on BCT.
- What is BadAss Security Services?
BadAss (me) is a privacy and security consultant and specialised in being paranoia. BadAss does not like Tor services and so called anonymous VPN providers. BadAss provides co-location servers for all kinds of blockchain projects.
BadAss stands for an open and free internet and provides different services to support that noble thought. Like for instance:
Bulletproof VPS https://www.badass.sx
Bulletproof VPN https://www.rootvpn.eu
Encrypted Email Service https://www.safe-mail.eu
Bulletproof Blockchain Nodes
Anonymous domain registration
Anonymous DNS servers
SSL certificates
Installations of all kinds of services
BadAss cares about your privacy. For all of our services we only need your name and BTC payment.
We will make the internet GREAT again!!!

Excuse me ignorance,
What are the main points for chosing Komodo over Zcash.
Is it just the Dpow feature?
thanks
Technically, it isnt just dPoW, it is all the other SuperNET services that will be coming online over the next year. Starting with easyDEX, assetchains.What are the main points for chosing Komodo over Zcash.
Is it just the Dpow feature?
thanks
Also, while the block generation of KMD uses PoW, that is just an artifact from it starting from zcash fork. The vast vast majority of KMD will be owned by ICO investors and I believe it will be the most open, most widely available zcash coin, with no mining based limits on available inventory.
My analogy is that if zcash is like Intel that makes the CPU
then Komodo is like the Apple computer, that has the CPU, but also has all the rest of what is required for a complete system. Clearly we feel zcash will become the standard for privacy in crypto, but privacy alone is not enough. There needs to be a lot of active usage to provide the most ambient transactions.
Having an easy to use GUI and DEX and other services will ensure having the most transaction flow.
