    Croutonrant #331 - Marketing a waste of time/money currently! Also PoW is an exclusionary dead end!

    Yes, these two things are related. DASH is envisioned as being a currency platform that will scale to global levels of users. This is a non trivial task, never before attempted. Bitcoin was an experiment, whether Satoshi was an independent genius or whether he was a Google 20%'er or an...

    Is there an easy way to tag users in posts?

    Currently I find and dummy-quote a post by the user I want to tag, and the quoted text includes their user number. Is there a faster way? User profiles don't seem to include their user number, or a I missing it?

    Static IPs definitely not a requirement for Masternodes

    Everyone except me probably already knows this, but I verified today that you don't need a static IP to run a Masternode. Been running a testnet MN today from home, where I have access to two different ISP connections. Started on one with externalip=x.x.x.x:9999 (was even that necessary?) in...

    Mirrors of www.darkcoin.io on Masternodes?

    Since darkcoin.io has been getting DDOS'd, it seems we ought to be making use of all the excess bandwidth that MN owners are paying for, so if anyone knows of a simple way for MN ops to mirror darkcoin.io on their MN's, those that wish to can do so and a list of mirror IPs could be put in the...

    Idea to help with price volatility.

    Problem: Price volatility. (Partial) Solution: Transaction locking your Masternode collateral for x months earns you y% higher block reward, x and y to be determined. Any merit? It's a common thing in traditional investments.

    Possible fundraising (via mining/masternode) options...

    If the Foundation had an address that I could mine direct to via p2pool I would happily point a GPU at it full time. This isn't going to amount to much from one of my 270's or 750's but it's better than a poke in the eye with a hot fork and an easy way for miners to donate a little if they want...

    croutonrant #237 - the happy happy dream of decentralised mining!

    Thesis: The purpose of mining is to secure the blockchain and ensure its integrity via decentralised consensus. Distributed mining makes attacks upon the blockchain prohibitively expensive. Centralised mining reduces the cost of an attack and decreases network security in direct proportion...

    Internet catastrophe, Masternodes to the rescue?

    So the internet, at least in your location, goes down. Your cryptocurrency is now completely useless, and therefore worthless. Without whole-network consensus blocks can't be validated, forks occur, situation gets rapidly FUBAR. Would it be possible, if there was just one Masternode locally to...

    Onyx Release & Mining Pools

    I think we need to face the fact that the rapid evolution of Darkcoin, and mining pools, are simply not a good fit and never will be. Each step forward takes weeks longer than it would if miners were under direct MN control. Centralised pools are a ball and chain for progress, and an outright...

    Making it easier for non-techies to own a Masternode...

    Suggestion to make it easier to offer MN admin services to people without the skill/confidence to run their own: Two lines in darkcoin.conf, with appropriate functionality: "admin address=<admin cut address>" and "adminpercentage=<x%>" So, admin gets say 10% of each MN fee. Would have to be...

    Quick and very dirty Multisig UI in python/QT - new unimproved PerVer!

    For what it's worth here's my little experiment in what a multisig UI might look like. It's written in python and uses QT, and was more an exercise in helping me understand multisig transactions than anything else. There are 3 parties (usually) involved, so I gave them a tab each! All three...

    New Masternode share - 9 partners wanted, 100DRK each, 1 month renewable agreement...

    I suggested setting up another joint Masternode (I'm currently running 4 of my own plus a 60% share in one with Lebubar) on bitcointalk and two people have PM'd me about it so far, so here goes: 10 people (1 of them being me) contribute 100DRK each to the pot. (I want to keep it to 100DRK per...

    Masternode Profit Shares for sale via NXT Asset Exchange, initial 1 month experiment!

    Since I have come up with no way to do it trustlessly, here is the next best thing: I am launching a NXT asset called tlcMN. If you have a NXT wallet you will be able to search for it under your Asset Exchange tab when it goes live. The asset will have 100 shares, each representing 1% of the...

    Here are some things I humbly suggest we need to get underway. Feel free to add to them! 1. Android wallet! 2. Consolidate new branding across all sites / forums / exchanges / whatever, get it out there. 3. Improve on the qt wallet by making it possible to import from paper wallets without...

    How do I import a private key into the qt wallet?

    eg. from a paper wallet I have generated. I see no option in the wallet to do this. edit: I have found this guide: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_import_private_keys_v7+ but this surely could/should be made easier? No reason DRK shouldn't lead the way in everyday utility as well!
