Is anyone on the Alpha Technology mailing list? The last 2 emails are beyond belief....

Yea, that's why DRK's masternodes are not an ideal solution... because it is a centralized solution.  

Anyone saying that DRK fucks the miners is a degenerate (entitlement complex, pure scum). Miners are useful, to an extent. That doesn't mean that they are owed the world.

yes. YES.  weak hands getting squeezed... hard!  people.... leave Evan and team to do their job as long as it takes.  its summer out side folks.  turn your computer/tablet  off and go ride your bike,  take your sweetie for an ice cream or go throw a Frisbee around.  Putting high expectations for RC4 at the "end"  of July is not healthy.  its what it takes to do the job well.

Current RC binary supports 64bit only.

Just use CSF to lockdown your MN. Very easy.

No there is an incredibly large difference.

With a masternode I know a few very important pieces of information. I have a target which I am 100% confident has 1000 DRK at a minimum. And I have an IP address at which those DRK reside.

That is very different than any old wallet. I have no way of linking an IP address to a high value wallet for sure. And an IP addresses I do know have a darkcoin wallet on them, I have no idea how much is on it, and to me, my time is incredibly valuable. Spending 20 hours attacking one wallet to get 2 DRK is not worth it. For 1000? Absolutely.


I am not talking nonsense and I can assure you, I know exactly what I am talking about. Why you would lie and give a user false sense of security is beyond me. I'm hoping it is out of your ignorance, not malice.

Yes, a windows 7 server absolutely could be setup to be secure, even if it was the main computer you used. But now let's be really honest, if someone is asking about setting up a node on their win 7 desktop, do you really think they are capable of doing that? Absolutely not.

There security implications go so much further beyond just getting hacked, by hosting your node on a residential connection and not in a data center, a nefariousness person could find you. Social engineering is a very real thing and works much better than hacking. So now, the hacker has your home address and location of the server. Fuck trying to hack you, they'll just drive to your house and rob you. Or, park out front, grab your wifi key, send it to a cloud GPU cluster to crack it, then because 9x.xx% of people don't change their router password (not wifi, the root router password) from the defaults, they could change your DNS servers to their own DNS servers and monitor your traffic. Then, when you went to an unencrypted site to download something, they would MITM attack you, directing you to their own server and feeding you a fake download link with a RAT. There are plenty of RATS which go 100% undetected, so your antivirus will do nothing. And you won't be the least be suspicious because the file you are downloading is from a trusted site. Or so you thought.

And the thing of it is? If you spent $5 / month on a VPS and just ran your MN on a locked down linux server in a secure data center as recommended, none of that could have happened!

In a way the wallet.dat file in your PC is the wallet. What I do is I start a fresh client with new wallet.dat, encrypt it, send the 1000 drk to the first address and use it forr activating the masternode. Then I backup that wallet.dat in several mediums and erase it from my home computer keeping it completely cold.  Then you can open the client again with a different wallet.dat that has nothing to do with the one you used to start your masternode, so you can have many, but only one open at a time and should be really careful with your backups and renaming the wallet.dat's appropiately so you dont confuse them. Read more and make sure you feel confident before you move your coins around.

WHAT DOES COLD WALLET MASTERNODE MEANS.

It means that the server that is running as a Masternode has 0 coins in its wallet.dat so there is 0 risk of loosing coins.  We start a masternode like this, you need to use a second computer, normally your local computer at home. You run the darkcoind application in your local computer, you indicate in the darkcoin.conf file in the local computer masternodeaddr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9999  (put in your public IP address here from your remote machine) This indicates the network that your local machine with the 1000DRK is vouching for the remote masternode with 0 DRK.  After that you take your local wallet offline, make several backups of your wallet.dat and as long as you dont move the coins from that address your remote masternode with 0DRK keeps running and making you money. Boom!

Here is a guide on how to do it:

Ok, done.

But I don't see fud on the page?

put this in a dark.html file and double click it: (kudos goes to an other member, he posted it hundred pages ago, cant remember his nickname).

You could try investigate things and think for yourself...

I have got an account there, but I have no idea where do I find my referral code.
