Hey All - Since this thread and other community news is hard to keep track of - I put together a weekly summary of what's been going on this week! If you all find it useful I will do this every week.

Darkcoin News for the week ending 6 June 2014

Coin Development
* Evan fixes Masternode payment, ghosting & forking issues.
* Automatic Checkpointing temporarily added to ensure fork success in future until Darksend is open sourced. (Thanks to Hiro)
* RC3 has been announced for 18th June - put that in your calendar folks!

* Cold storage announced for Masternodes which is presumably a component of the huge anonymity upgrade coming in RC4. Will significantly increase the security footprint of masternodes!

Community News
* Greg Maxwell (gmaxwell), bitcoin core developer & Coinjoin creator says he is happy to review Darkcoin code once released! Evan agrees!

Awesome, thanks!  Mind if I steal this for the official Facebook page?

It'll need some tiny corrections + the cold storage is not anonymity-related.
