Monero is like a decentralized Darkcoin if you think about it.
Darksend/Masternodes are a brilliant Idea by Evan. They give incentive to host nodes to uphold the network And allow anonymous transactions...Basically, you get paid to help uphold the Darkcoin network and have anonymous transactions at the same time, unlike Bitcoin and such where you get nothing in return.
Evan has also perfected Masternodes to where they're as anonymous as Ring Signatures.
And he's not done.
He's going to implement Both Ring Signatures and I2P ontop Masternodes.
Monero and other Bytecoin clones don't stand a chance against Darkcoin practically...
No he will not, and if he does it will be a shitty, forced implementation whereas the natural enviorment for ring signatures is within Monero's code. Just deal with the fact being a Bitcoin fork presents 0.0 advantages for being anonymous.
No offense, but you sound really stupid. CryptoNote isn't that anonymous, as anonymint said. You can definitely implement Ring Signatures into a Bitcoin type coin and have it working pretty much the same it does on Bytecoin forks...
It doesn't matter the algorithim lmao...So implementing Ring Signatures on Darksend would grant the same exact anonymity that it does to Bytecoin forks...Your arguement is invalid.
You dont get it.
With Ring Singatures the whole darksend and masternode stuff is OBSOLETE.
If you thing you can simply add all that stuff to the btc codebase, you are just wrong...yes it may be possible with a major rewrite but then you have a completly different coin...and it may not even be worth the manhours needed todo so.
You are referring to anonymints stuff that has already been answered a dozen time and he said himself that cryptonote based stuff is better then the darksend/masternode solution, so what?
Provide Details? Whats the error, whats your os?
I tried it on Windows XP 32bit.The error message is "bitmonerod.exe is not a valid Win32 application"
Simplewallet.exe and simpleminer.exe give the same error message too.
Its not compatible with Win XP 32 Bit - XP is dead and not even supported by Microsoft anymore
You're not making any sense...Which is better?
Darkcoin: Masternodes that allow for anonymous transactions And incentive to uphold the netowrk
Bytecoin/Monero/Quazarcoin etc etc: Ring Signatures that cause extreme bloating, but offer anonymous transactions.
Now you see that Darkcoin's Masternodes are still better right? Now look at this
Darkcoin months from now will have:
1) Masternodes that allow for anonymous transactions And incentive to uphold the network
2) Ring Signatures with the major bloating/scaling issues gone
3) I2P
Monero months from now will have:
1) Ring Signatues with horrible bloating and scaling issues.
It's a no brainer..Darkcoin is 10x better than a fork of Bytecoin(i.e Monero, Quazarcoin, HoneyPenny etc)
Darkota... you have proven your point. but I know for a fact that all this will be obsolete in 2044. Because then we will have a technology called master dark night crypto
node rings. This will blow everything away and Evan will have died of an heart attack while trying to implement and and so we are all wasting our time. My suggestion for Darkota is to wait for this technology and mine it on day one. You will be filthy rich. It will be mine able on anything that can perform any sort of computation. An ordinary abacus will get 233.65 kh/s. I have seen this. It's amazing
I am the developer of this new technology and an expert.
