Done this once, I'll fork the latest version and make it look pretty this time.

I'm willing to help on this, but I've never done a major project in python before so I can't be the person working on it.

I am already in and happy to get your support and help as far as a can re. PM, QA, documentation, infrastructure and rollout - so you would not be alone with it :)

But my python skills are not sufficient to handle this alone atm :)

I've not forgotten about this just had something come up IRL that took wayyyyy more attention than it should have. I'm shooting to have a fully tested implementation of darkcoinjs that is up to date with bitcoinjs.

After that, flare, I'll start looking much more heavily into the electrum client.
 
Do any websites allow you to send DRK from a cold address, without downloading a wallet?

For example, blockchain.info lets you do this with BTC. You can type in your private key, which is only kept on your browser and not sent to the server, then send bitcoins from the browser, which does the signing at your end then sends the signed transaction to the server.

This would be a very useful thing for Darkcoin to have. It means you can have a cold wallet, and then be able to access those Darkcoins even if you only have access to a browser rather than a machine you can install software to.

blockchain.info is acutally a brilliant website and I second that having this for darkcoin would be more than awesome. That said, this will probably take a while if someone really takes that up to create web wallets and stuff.

But you say this is only happening in your browser, mind giving me a link where I can find this? Because if its in your browser, it is probably javascript and means its quite "open source"....

Cool. :grin:

Is there any service or exchange at all that would let you type in a private key to a Darkcoin address to get access to those DRK, or any other way to do it only using a browser without installing software?

Flawed by design for me - private keys should never be shared. It's like uploading your private gpg-key to gmail for decrypting your mails... :D

my mail provider is actually offering this "feature" but also tells the users it's "not recommended" lol...

If you share your private key and send the coins where you need them 10 minutes later it's only as bad as if you'd sent coins to an exchange, made a trade, and sent the coins where you need them 10 minutes later. If you own dark I'm presuming you've at least done something like that.

Leaving coins in the address for any length of time after you've typed in the key is bad, you shouldn't do that, but it's no worse than leaving coins in an exchange for that same length of time.

So there's nothing inherently flawed in the model, but I can understand how reading "you type in a private key" would trigger alarms. :smile:

This is getting OT, but that means that the attacker has a comfortable 9:59 minute time window to transfer your coins to his wallet after receiving the private key from you :)
I guess you don't have your PIN-code written on the back of your credit card, because it's only funded 10 minutes a month?

I think we all agree that exchanges are a really bad place to keep your coins - same applies to online wallets.

Private keys are kept to be private - any transmission of the private key holds the risk of getting compromised. Remember OpenSSL heartbleed bug this April?
