Chinese chars make DRK seem even darker
looks cool…

The NSA is doing a great job marketing darkcoin:



If they can store all phone calls made, keeping a store of all bitcoins and linking them down the line is trivial

It can be a good thing to open different topic, for mining hardware and setting.
And put result in main forum when done.

Help miner is not a bad thing i think.

1 topic with a list of all topic by modele, brand and bios version.

You put up a collateral transaction that only the current master node can cash to get into the pool. If you misbehave in any way, the master node will cash it. Each time that costs 0.1DRK, so it could add up pretty quick if you're attacking it.

Masternode's are chosen randomly using a deterministic algorithm that can't be tampered with. This has a nice side effect, people will want to run full nodes to get the random fees. So we should have a pretty strong base of nodes.

I'm in the process of rewriting KGW for our purposes. I've spend a few hours thoroughly going through the code and I think I can come up with a better implementation that doesn't have these kind of problems. DarkGravity?  

DarkSend Beta Version 3.5 (v8.9.7)

- Session ID's are now tied to the blockHeight, so they'll be much more stable. Some users were reporting stale DarkSend messages all of the time because they couldn't sync.

What's Next?
The next update is going to be a big one, it'll probably take me a week maybe.

Currently the network uses 1 master node, so it's a centralized implementation. I'm going to write some tamper proof logic to pick a random node from the network and elect it as the master. This is a neat implementation, because when you leave on your client it supports the network and you'll randomly receive fees when people try to attack DarkSend ( or turn off their clients in mid-transaction, lose their internet connection, etc ). We should see a really healthy amount of full nodes because of this, maybe even more than Bitcoin itself eventually.

Ok the 12-14 average is because of average difficulty being in the upper 300s last 2-3 days. It used to be 20-24 DRKs/day just before that. Your 6-7 coins/day is not too bad for 3 cards over the last 3 days.

I wish it could be added to OP!

 I will look into maybe leaving the back blank, and could add on a holographic sticker with QRCode with public address and you could peel off to get private key.

Is there more interest in doing that?

I have two of each of the GPUS. Sadly... all around my 8.8 MH/s gets me only 10 DRK/day in this new difficulty and I wasn't around in the early, early days. Profitability's crap, but I'm too lazy to mine and dump something else and I like the temperatures.

So if I were to move over, I'd be around 7900 khs, which according to that earns me a little over 4 DRK.  According to the pool calcs and my quick math, that translates into about $3 right now.  Is that correct or have I done something wrong?

how i can add my gup´s ?

nice job my man! I'm in. I will release code for a darkcoin donate widget based off of the feathercoin widget based off bitcoin widget. Whew...that's a lot of basing. anyway, once the darkcoin block explorer is up again, I will post it. What are some other features the community can work on to help integrate drk into other facets of digital or non-digital life? We should really be thinking about this as eduff is going to be speaking at the crypto convention in ny in less than a month which will, hopefully, be a boon in terms of awareness. Imagine eduff dropping darksend on those there! I'd hate to be the guy who has to follow him! Anyway, we should start to harness our brain powers on things the community needs and not on the manipulations that are or aren't happening with the price. I like the idea of marketing, but beyond the general like or seed of idea, we have to water that sucker and get some blooms to fasten to root. Maybe we set up a giveaway of 2000 dark to best video made by users pimping drk sent to a facebook page. Or take donations, ala doge, and send it off to a company operating in harsh sketchy conditions, doctors without borders or something. I'm just typing out loud here. I can donate 2-3k drk to something worthwhile. Or maybe take donations to send to dorian nakamoto. Highlight the need to remain anonymous. That's all I got for now. 
p.s.
TanteStefana and I seem to be on the same wavelength as I tried to submit this only to be halted by their post. Traction is happening, let's do this. Eduff has made and is making a great crypto, light years ahead of anything out there. We need to stay vigilant. Get the word out. Make a framework for the community that will come. They will come. And when they do, let's be prepared, solid and ready for action

I've made a short intro video for DarkCoin. Check it out

The concurence? They should integrate Darkcoin !
