Blabla.

What app do you use on your phone for placing trades on mintpal?

I just use Chrome on a Nexus 5. It's slower and less efficiënt than on non-mobile, but it works.

Im starting to think that the universe does not want me making money with this

The shorter term your investments, the more experienced you need to be to make them work.

I think you're right. I suck at trading. But in my defense, I am looking to buy darkcoins for a good price and hold until the 25th at least.

Jesus Christ. I just placed 5 buy orders on my mobile phone. Two smaller ones above 120 and the rest of my bitcoins in much lower buy orders, 'just in case'. I'm done placing my orders and scroll up on mintpal and I notice that for some reason it does not display the orders above 120. I refresh. Still not there. I scroll down...

Between me placing the high buy orders and me placing buy orders slightly above 100, the 200+ BTC dump happened.

I'm starting to think that the universe does not want me making money with this. I also went full bitcoin for the first time in weeks right before the pump from .006 to .0119 (because of a bad assumption and the fact that I was going on vacation).

Congrats to all the people who were holding. I have resigned to the fact that I will have to buy in higher than I sold and will own less darkcoins than two days ago. I feel shitty. I am fully aware of the fact that Darkcoin offers more than any altcoin, but I just didn't see this pump coming and I am on vacation since today and wanted to relax. Cry

I wouldn't buy at this price level.
It will return to 0.001 next few weeks 90% sure
Be careful when buying at the top.

FWIW, since both utclover and I said 'be careful when buying at the top', I'd like to completely disassociate with utclover. .001 sounds absurd.

I think the rise will end when the pumpers dump. Those buy walls are there for a reason. They were 155 and 153 respectively two days ago. I could be wrong but it just looks like a vert pump all over again and when the dump comes, it will be intense. Here's to hoping I'm wrong.

The reason you might be wrong is:

[1] - that this isn't a 'safe' "pump and dump" coin for dumpers. It is actually being bought on solid fundamentals which makes it far tighter on liquidity when there's a change in sentiment. If you watch the major dumps, they have all blown up in the dumpers face shortly afterwards as the market takes off again

[2] - it's been steadily rising for weeks. Lately, the pump and dump cycle has been getting ever faster - down to several hours for example for CINNI.

[3] - there have already been plenty of "tree shaking" moments lately. It lost nearly half it's value about 2 weeks ago and had a further few shocks since then. All of these tremors help to pack the price in

[4] - there is a certain market cap threshold which an asset can get to which gives it a stabilising inertia. Look at the top 7 or 8 coins on marketcap. They've been there since the dawn of man (well, of crypto alts at least Smiley ). That's because mass holding gives the asset a kind of market "rubber stamp" that secures its position and makes it very resistent to challenge - even from newer coins having major technological improvements. (Witness Litecoin. Almost every other coin out now is about 50 times more technologically advanced. It doesn't even do anything interesting except confirm a bit faster than Bitcoin. All the same - check its market cap compared to the nearest competitor).

On the other hand, of course, you may be right. No one can ever tell in this market. It's the wild west with some earthquake zones and a few untamed lions thrown in for good measure.

But we must keep our thinking hats on all the same and not just throw in the towel because there's too much turbulence to read the writing on the page. The writing's still there and pumpers and dumpers will definitely not have the last say on which technologies and assets emerge from all this intact.


I think you make good points, but at the same time, it was similar praise and optimistic forecasts that made me invest between .004 and .005 during/after the big pump all the way from .0015. I believed in the coin, but I was not aware I was buying near the all-time high after a big pump (or rather, I was not aware of what that meant).

Yes, Darkcoin is a freaking awesome coin with a lot of potential. But at the same time, be careful about buying literally at the all-time high.

I honestly don't know what will happen with the price now. I feel like shit because I sold my coins around .006, thinking it would be quiet for a few weeks and that the price would settle lower. Just my two cents.

Well there was an interesting exercise watching that flash crash after Evan's little "fright".

A lot of hands got shaken there. Talk about taking the pain quickly.

Someone was selling already much prior to the announcement: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/cryptsy/drkbtc

The big red spike is far larger than those which ensued after the announcement, in terms of volume. Almost 40.000 volume.

Btw, apparently most people don't even understand what they read or the implications of what they read. Ensuring that the Masternode payment code is more ironed out before going live is a very good thing as it was obviously buggy.

Better quality = happy DRKers = happy markets.

Broken coin = sad DRKers = blood-red market.


I did not think it was bad for DRK, but I did expect a drop in price. The price rose a lot the last week in anticipation of the update, partly due to real buyers, partly due to whales pumping the coin up with the news as an excuse. Then the update is suddenly a few weeks off. The whole situation changed. Edit: And add to that people selling because they believe others will sell, and then people panic selling.

But as it happened, I came across Evan's announcement almost immediately, but my mind blocked it out because it looked like another mining pool message with its big, colored letters... so I didn't take as much advantage of the drop.

Very curious how real those buy walls are. We're getting closer to one.
25754 DRK on Mintpal is an impressive one. similar to the 29K on Cryptsy

29983 DRK on Cryptsy.

It first appeared higher on Cryptsy, before there was one on Mintpal. It was around .0055 I think. Then it moved down and appeared on both exchanges. Maybe the whale considers .0052 a good price to buy in bulk.

Edit: It's clear I don't have a life.  Cheesy I'm just watching the markets the last few days.

Man... I was doing so well. Actually bought a few thousand coins at .005! Then I thought: I bet it will go lower! And sold... at .005. I was one of the monkeys AGAIN this time. True to my name.

But this is the first flash crash I experienced as a trader (only started recently). So lesson learned.

Someone just dumped probably 50+ BTC on Cryptsy between .00585 and .0055. But there's a big buy order at .0059 on Mintpal. Expensive dump.

thats a nice buywall at 0.006 of 124 btc... are the whales getting bigger or DRK more popular?

Buywalls are one of 2 things:

[1] - genuine, because someone wants in

or

[2] - fake, because someone wants out (and they need to push up the liquidity before dumping)

If all the bids above it are less than 1 BTC and all the bids below it are less then 1 BTC and there's no buywall whatsoever at 60 on Mintpal to match the one Cryptsy, which of the two categories above do you think a 128 BTC buywall falls into.

Buy the all time high with 128 BTC ?

Don't think so.


Entire order was filled. Someone just bought a lot of darkcoins.

40 BTC sellwall appeared.

If that gets eaten...


The interesting thing is that buy orders keep popping up and they are sold into. Probably close to 100 BTC have been sold in the last 1-2 hours. Yet the price is remarkably stable...

Edit: I bet the whales read that my BTC deposit is stuck and they're keeping the price low for me. Thanks whales!

Only thing that saddens me is I didn't buy more, esp when it dipped to .0025 for a bit recently.

Well, looks like you're all on your own there.
Everybody else here got all the DRKs they wanted with absolutely no regrets at all. In fact I feel like I got too many.

Isn't that the truth.

I, for one, have yet to make my first trading mistake.

Man... I sent 10 BTC from Mintpal to Cryptsy last night. It took 5-6 hours before Mintpal approved the withdrawal. Then the deposit did not show up on Cryptsy. It still hasn't reached my account. I've already created a support ticket... If the price shoots up now I'll be so pissed. I wanted to buy up the big-ish sell orders around .0060 on Cryptsy.

We found another (yet again!) issue with the masternode voting system and have pushed up a fix. Please update before Wednesday.

Source code:
https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin

Stable version (v0.9.3.2):
http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/darkcoind
http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/darkcoin-qt

RC2 (v0.10.7.2):
http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoind
http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoin-qt

Run a masternode? Update to v0.10.7.2
Run a service? Update to v0.9.3.2
Run a windows client? Binaries will be available soon (InternetApe will post later)

Ok, found it. v0.10.7.2 it is then.
Anyone running masternodes on windows? I'm absolutely horrible with linux.

If I just created a masternode with that guide, do I have the most recent version then?

I'm trying to set up a masternode using this guide: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/how-to-set-up-ec2-t1-micro-ubuntu-for-masternode-part-1-3.240/

But, when setting up an instance in EC2, I can't find 'Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS (PV)' as is shown in the image in the guide. Am I blind? I can find 14.04, and slightly different versions of 12.04 (without (PV) behind it IIRC). Which one should I choose? Is there a more up-to-date guide?

Sorry for the noob questions.

14.04 worked for me fine with that guide. You can skip the compile as you're just going to download the binary anyway, but only do this if you know your way around the CLI as you'll have to ignore or change some later steps where you replace the compiled darkcoind with the binary one. If unsure just run through it all as is, takes an extra 15 minutes, no big deal.

Thanks. I tried 14.04 and when I was almost done with Part 2, I got an error that I didn't see explained anywhere. I'm going to start over and pay more attention this time.

Hey panicbuythenpanicsell, I had to figure things out myself and got unexpected errors too and found solutions on my own. If you post what error did you get I may be able to help if it happened to me too. Be careful not to post any private information but dont go over all of it again just because of an error. We are all willing to help.

I'm at the point where I have to run darkcoind, and I get the error:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
Aborted (core dumped)

EDIT: SOLVED. I had to do this 'export LC_ALL=C' and then it worked.
