This part has never worked for me "wget http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoind"...  So I just use an FTP client to drop it in...
Right click the download link on the darkcoin.io website, pick copy URL/file location or some such.

Switch to ssh/console window connected to your remote machine.

CTRL SHIFT V - poof, correct url. Just punch home "wget " and hit enter. Easy.

If you're using putty, fuck all. I ahve no idea how to help you if you're on a commercial OS, I haven't used one of those for over a decade...

Basically, wget just fetches a url like typing into your browser. If you see it in the address line of your browser, type the same thing... Or copy-paste it however your platform does it. You can sometimes end up with goofy filenames if the server you're getting the file from uses dynamic stuffs... it might save the filename with line options, you'll just have to rename it is all.

I used to awk/grep pages I pulled with wget, such as whatismyip.com's home page, before there were handy dyndns drivers and stuff... It's a handy way to get around pain in the butts like that.

Ya for extra security I go through console via the Digital Ocean website, that has 2FA on it.  I have a dynamic IP from my ISP so I use the csf -a command to add my temporary IP to all my nodes before I do any maintenance...

OzzieCoin turned off all ports bar 9999 on my masternodes.  This is the first time I'm going it alone without him hand holding me.

Seeing that you're being so helpful, at some stage I need to remove those IP addresses that I'm adding.  For the one's I remember I know there's the -r command for csf, however for the ones I haven't remembered how do I get a list of all IP addresses I've manually added using csf -a...

Thanks to everyone for helping me, I really appreciate it...

One immediate problem with any new currency is how to value it. Even ignoring the practical problem that virtually no one will accept it at first, there is still a difficulty in coming up with a reasonable argument in favor of a particular non-zero value for the coins.

As an amusing thought experiment, imagine that Darkcoin is successful and becomes the dominant payment system in use throughout the world. Then the total value of the currency should be equal to the total value of all the wealth in the world. Current estimates of total worldwide household wealth that I have found range from $100 trillion to $300 trillion. With ~20 million coins, that gives each coin a value of about $10 million.

So the possibility of generating coins today with a few cents of compute time may be quite a good bet, with a payoff of something like 100 million to 1! Even if the odds of Darkcoin succeeding to this degree are slim, are they really 100 million to one against? Something to think about...

Up on release of event, down soon after.
Only because the masses view the recent releases as failures. Because the masses are stupid as fuck.
Well those recent releases should have never happened in the main network. They were mistakes. Now they've started doing it the Right WayTM and we will most probably never experience such failures again.
gimme a break, all cryptos are on a super fast track, and it's all a great experiment which will hopefully come to fruition.  Do you think Evan thought the previous implementations wouldn't work?  Of course not, he thought they were ready!  But in the earlier days of the coin, people updated pretty quickly when he put stuff out (it wasn't our first hard fork, nor our second) so he didn't foresee that after ... how long did everyone have?  10 days?  2 weeks?  and so many weren't updated, it was a surprise!  Hindsight is 20/20.  Turns out most people just didn't want to pay masternodes because of their short sighted greed (paying and making DarkSend work would increase the value of the coin for everyone, but shortsighted people just want as many coins as they can get even if they're not worth as much) Hope they sold their coins.
Mwah!

People were expecting next week to start testing Smiley Very quiet here.

Is there a Linux noob guide to updating Masternodes ?

If not, could someone make a idiots guide to updating and post it over at darkcointalk  Roll Eyes

I haven't tried this myself, but check this:

Also, in case anyone hasn't figured out how to update and restart their masternodes with the newfangled cold/remote setup, here is what worked for me:

On remote:

darkcoind stop
mv darkcoind darkcoind-old-version-number
wget http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoind
chmod 755 darkcoind
darkcoind

...wait for it to sync up if needed


On local:

Stop local client if running
Edit your darkcoin.conf and put back in:
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=your-priv-key-for-that-masternode
masternodeaddr=x.x.x.x:9999

Rename your copy wallet for that masternode back to wallet.dat and fire up the local client or daemon
Wait for it to sync up if needed, then
masternode start 'your-wallet-passphrase'

- you should get 'masternode started sucessfully' and you can now take the local wallet offline again, your masternode should appear at http://drk.poolhash.org/masternode.html within a minute or two.

I'm OK with updating masternodes, OzzieCoin has sorted me out with a list of instructions.  It's pretty easy.

I just didn't know about the privkey step when getting a new MN online with the way I was doing it.

Technical question if I may, don't laugh I'm a Linux n00b.

My server says DarkCoin Started Successfully, however when I do ./darkcoind masternode list | grep (My MN IP address) I get nothing back.

I'm going down the VPS route, this is a new instance that I generated from an existing backup of another instance.

Do I need to open port 9999?

How do I do that in Linux?

When you do ./darkcoind masternode list | grep (My MN IP address) and nothing comes up then your MN is offline.

This might help https://darkcointalk.org/threads/masternode-unlisted.1828/

Also to open up port 9999:   (if you are using IPtables then it is something else, (ufw=Unomplicated FireWall)

sudo ufw allow 9999/tcp
sudo ufw allow 9999/udp

Full instructions can be found here

under 2(f)  Configuring Ports

Thank you very much for your help.  I'm really enjoying learning how to do things in Linux...

I'm not a fan of the red and green, or the double indicators, but it's still excellent.

Wow, this one (#3 with a couple suggestions that Raze implemented) is SEXY!





Yea, that is Damn Sexy.

+101

I'm loving it

Agreed!
If you guys can produce a wallet that works as well as this mockup looks I would gladly chuck a coupla DRK in your digital hat!

Yes this is a hundred times better than the previous one with white text on light blue background (which had too little contrast). This one is much cleaner. Very nice. Also love the improvements to the tabs at the top.
