    6/20 RC3 Post-mortem

    Red-Shionobi has a point. Why not reconsider the way that updates are released. Why not deliver to mainnet more frequently with just devs and testers up-to-date with the network at first and eventually the secret is out. So what if it's hard on the network. It's called continuous-integration. If...

    Suggestion for fixing network

    It would be nice if the client nodes received push updates in addition to the magical handshake between the network and clients. Pushing build updates on the client node would reduce errors per client and would thus create a manager or orchestrator to ensure clients are on the latest build...

    Reverting RC3 Masternode Payments Fork

    I'm curious if the error was caused from people running different builds of the master node? How would the network validate that a master node is up-to-date with the latest build, in addition to config file specifications?

    How to set up ec2 t1.micro Ubuntu for Masternode part 3/3

    @chaeplin Can you add a section at the end of part 3 of the guide that lets a master node owner realize that here node is active and working? Hence, I am not confident that my master node is configured correctly, running healthy, and is ready for the launch date.

    Open Source Idea

    Here's an idea... Why not open-source the DarkSend feature until a certain milestone is reached. For example, when 1000 masernodes exist. Or open-source the feature after the value of DRK hits $50.00. I think this will encourage additional investments and media coverage.

    RC3: Hard Fork on June 20th!

    chaeplin As a Windows developer, I am unfamiliar with Linux and struggled setting up my Masternode last week. However, your setup guides did help me get through the pain of configuring a masternode. What exactly do I need to do now in order to keep my maternode current with RC3? For example...

    How to set up ec2 t1.micro Ubuntu for Masternode part 3/3

    Question: (tx hash) What is "tx hash" and why do most masternodes have them and some do not? I observed that my masternode is one of the few master nodes listed that do not have a value for "tx hash": http://drk.poolhash.org/darksend.html

    Darkcoin Update / Masternode requirements / Masternode Payments

    Question: I downloaded the Darkcoin wallet for Windows. How do I incorporate the receive-address of "getaccountaddress 0" into my wallet? The intent of my question is that I feel that I am just sending darkcoins to an address that is not under my wallet's control.

    How to set up ec2 t1.micro Ubuntu for Masternode part 2/3

    Step #12 Thank you for explaining that to me. So to be clear, that address is not "linked" to my wallet yet unless your definition of "linked" is a "send-address" that my wallet keeps a record of. I say this because I am unaware of any method to take the address from "getaccountaddress 0" and...

    How to set up ec2 t1.micro Ubuntu for Masternode part 2/3

    Step #12 Question: I'm confused. That address that is returned from "getaccountaddress 0" is not an address that is linked to my wallet. In addition, I have observed that my wallet generates new addresses that cannot be edited. This means that I cannot withdraw money in the future from that...
