the order in the .conf file doesnt matter
Good to know, but already found a better way to solve my problem Wink.

there should be different checksums for each binary download
if people are compiling their own, then the same version wont necessarily mean identical binaries due to differences in system build env
I used the version from the OP, as I haven't got a clue yet how to build it. Checksums were fine when I downloaded to a clean machine. Worked on the clean machine, and when finished created the SHA-256 checksum.
Uploaded on my main machine.
Downloaded on a 2nd clean machine, and still gave the same checksum. So I fugured all should be ok.

it is a good idea about the general version number. not sure of the best way to have that across all OS and daemon and wallets

I would say that every release should have the same version on all platforms. Usually the first 3 numbers are/should be used for external releases, the forth number for internal builds.
So everytime a version is released, update at least the 3rd number. Current version is 1.0.0.0, so next should be at least 1.0.1.0.
I might (but still need to test that a bit further) even need the 2nd one to go up to keep the updates working as intended. If so, I'll keep using a different version for the installer only, just like I did now.

Lets start with, please be carefull, only use at your own risk. I tried and used everything I could think of to keep this virus/malware free, but you never know.

Hopefully we'll see the version of the .exe of the wallet increase when a new version arrives. Until then I'll use a different version for the installer (0.1.0 for this first one).
This installer will:
- Backup the %appdata%\BitcoinDark to %appdata%\BitcoinDark__

So I featured BTCD as the "alt of the week" in the 1st episode of my show - Proof-of-Strip  Grin
http://youtu.be/EQmKDP3tNOY

How'd I do? All feedback is welcomed Smiley

Now, if I could just get coinpayments to add it to their supported coin list...

A few more questions about the wallet.

Is there a way to see if all lines of the BitcoinDark.conf are read without errors?
Is it ok to add a section head in the .conf like used in an ini file? [Settings] or something?
In the examples the .conf files all start with the rpcuser= and end with a list of the addnode=. Is it ok to mix up the sequence of the lines in the .conf? so start with a addnode= then the rpcuser= then another startnode= etc.

Is there a unique version number for each new version of the wallet?
if so, where can I find it?
if not, are you planning on doing that? It would be user friendly to have it, and I would like to try and use the same version numbers in the installer.

That's it for now.

for anyone with wallet problem
copy your wallet file
cancel everything from the bitcoindark folder
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\BitcoinDark
redownload wallet and file conf in the first ann page
copy file conf and wallet file in bitcoindark
then start bitcoindark qt.exe

when is stuck at 64xxx or more block or something quit the program and restart it

P.S. If anybody is on a Mac, can you try to build following the instructions on https://github.com/jl777/btcd
It is still a dev version and can be any state of bugginess, but the build process can be verified and this will help save time. So, the question is if it builds and links. you can run it too, but please dont keep it live as I am trying to keep a controlled test going



I'll try that, but might take me till the weekend since I'm short on time Smiley

I'm trying to build it now, but the first link in the readme-qt is not working: http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-mac-os-cpp
I'm guessing should be the same if I download this? http://qt-project.org/downloads

OK, got the new code debugged.

Now all three servers know each other's public privacyServer info and this is with minimal packet traffic, actually I think it is using the theoretical minimum. I am ignoring the IP leak for now, it will be much easier to scrub that when the system is more fully in place.

What is working now is that any public privacyServer will be able to contact any other and each such public privacyServer is actually a loopback server for a private node.

I will try to get the public to private comms working tomorrow and if all goes well, private to private. Once any private node can talk to any other, then I need to scrub or randomize the IP info leakage. have some ideas already, when I see all the private to private comm sequence I can verify if these ideas will work.

the hard part for tomorrow is to make an algo that allows private to private node comms without explicitly knowing any actual coinaddr<->ipaddr pairs

good job  Smiley

+1! good to see you coding alot again Smiley
only half a day and that was full of distractions. code just worked pretty much the first time, only a few silly typo level errors so it just looked like I spent a lot of time Wink

Good news.  Do you need any additional help with testing remote nodes etc?

I'm trying to run a wallet on windows, but nothing is happening... where should bitcoindark.conf be located: in same folder as exe or in data folder..??

is there some specific network settings that should be done..?


As far as I know, you should place the bitcoindark.conf in the C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\BitcoinDark folder.

PS. I'm still working on the installer. Just need a bit more info and time.

P.S. also today I got caught up in the whole BCX XMR thing which was quite distracting as I was in the loop of all the PMs

What happened with Monero? It just tanked.

Edit: found it. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/delete-789978

BBR affected too?
If you can decipher: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8909623
plz let me know.
at this point anybody that says they know, is wrong

my sense is that many things have to be done at once and CZ already fixed a key part of this whole attack vector, but anonymint's math stuff makes my head hurt, so I think it is unlikely even for XMR and even more unlikely for BBR, but it all depends on the undecipherable (to me) math
