Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW

Awesome Birthday I've had. Just as I'm about to go out the door and make bad choices for fun, I just had to hit F5 and see .31 released...

Fuck me... :-p

Wait I thought you said you were running .31 already?

I am.

Back when I said I was heading out to make bad decisions in the company of sordid women, I hit F5 and saw .31... I've been here being very unhappy ever since, instead of what should have been happening...

I count confirmations.

13, 9, 6, 5

Looks like 15000 amount is somehow not keeped, instead small amount is darksended. So still Darksend rounds is 1.

6 confirmations : 900 ?
5 confirmations : 999 ?

Yeah, weird, right? I set it to 8 rounds. What's the 900 and 999 about? I haven't performed any manual sends, this is all darksend's doing. I received the 10538DRK, set darksend to 8, enabled it, and the rest is, uh, yeah...

See the fees? See how much is anonymized?

It does only 1 round... It's set to 8... It charges me buttloads of fees to do precisely nothing, or at least that's how it looks...

1.) The round > 1 error was caused by a lack of fees, because of this the network refused to accept the transactions. I've made the default darksend fee 0.0125, or currently $0.043 per 1000DRK. This means to anonymize $3450 it will current cost 0.0013%. Even with the higher fee our solution is decentralized and cheaper than any comparable mixer on the market. Also, it's good to remember this fee goes to the miners, so it will actually benefit the network and make mining more valuable.

8 rounds 10K : 0.0125 * 8 * 10 + (0.001 * at least 8 ?) isn't ?

Yeah so it costs 1 DRK to get 10k coins with arguably overkill (8 rounds) anonymity. This is expensive??!? Roll Eyes

For smaller amounts it may be a bit high, but if you only have 5 DRK then just use less rounds. Lowering fees has already shown not to work on mainnet. Plus the same miners that DRK supposedly hates get these fees...
