Is this exploit still possible ? That would be a real shame for DRK holders who are already very stupid to follow a shitcoin like sheeps in my opinion but anyway...

cool resurrection of a long dead thread. And with regards to your question, if you really need to ask if this exploit is still possible i doubt i can explain to you the answer,
in any language.

Perhaps you're unfamiliar with cryptocurrency exchanges - bitfinex, cryptsy, etc.?

SSD is the only one with Stenography.

Where can I read about SSD's steganographic features? I didn't see it mentioned in the ANN thread's OP.

Not out by a long shot, where did you get that idea?

The bug was fixed within minutes and the coin is stronger because of it.

If you're interested in DRK, did you read these btw?

Some preliminary first ideas of how DRK's instant transactions could be useful:

What sucks? That the bug was fixed within minutes and the coin is stronger by it?

If the code isn't open sourced, nobody really knows.

It is open sourced, go check it out: https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin

what about SSD coin? do you think it is legitimate? I went into their thread ragging them but they almost have me sold they are legit. i still not buy into it though until they deliver on all promises.

SSD is the only one with Stenography. Not much of a market for it now but if it is stout and continues along then there might be.

It's been out for awhile and I haven't seen any copycats. Kind of a relevant indicator to me.

This is also why you should be open sourced from the beginning

anonymity should always be trusted to open sourced solutions

This is all true. To be on my Legitimate Altcoin Whitelist, a coin must follow Bitcoin's example and be 100% open source. Not some half-assed delayed version.

All the nooblings losing their shitcoins to Madoff Node exploits are being taught a valuable (and therefore expensive) lesson: DON'T TRUST CLOSED SOURCE!

The good intentions of the devs aren't the point and don't matter; the of point open source is to verify the code's security with as many eyes and brains as possible.

This is really clutching at straws here.

I condone using open-source software as much as possible. I would be lying if I said that I would have been interested in Bitcoin initally if it were not open source. But the cryptocurrency landscape is very different now to Bitcoin's early days. Manipulation is rife. Crypto traders are fickle. Coin cloning with a changed parameter or two and a different name is the norm. A clone coin offering no technical innovation but some tiresome catchphrases and marketing tactics once made it to 3rd place in terms of market cap. It's back in the top 5 again now.

I initially dismissed Darkcoin's chances of success because of the name but after reading some of Evan's posts I became interested in the project. I didn't like the idea of closed source at all, but it was always said that the DarkSend source code would eventually be released. I weighed up risk vs. reward and put my trust In Evan and his claim that the source code would be released further ahead. This trust was due to my assessment of his character based on reading his posts. It turns out the character assessment was quite good - he kept his word and the DarkSend source was released last Monday :https://darkcointalk.org/threads/open-source-announcement-and-future-plans.2528/.

The code's security can now be verified with as many eyes and brains as possible. Evan does not hide behind a handle - his reputation is on the line if anything nefarious is found in the code.

I'm going to write this in a larger, more colourful font, because it seems that some posting in this thread are mere shills or for some reason haven't realised this yet:
Darkcoin is 100% open source

i think you mean "NOW" is open source after a recent announcement stating this by the devs Wink

how's reality treating ya these days bud ?

What part of "is" means "has always been"? Should I have written the whole post in large colourful letters for you?

How's reading comprehension treating you these days bud?

learn the difference between c and c++ buddy LOL
then your comment might have some credence ahhaha
like omg i am soooper coderzxz in javascipt and PHP !!!

the Majority of bitcoin is in C++ i think the only parts that are C is the hashing algorithms which all come from an open source library. Open something, can't rember what its called.
