10% of the mining reward for the block where you were selected as a master node.

Diffrence.


Update now.

It's the weekend, volume always drops on weekends for practically every coin out there(people are out/not at home)

I just bought 40, taking advantage of this low price xD

So I've had another good read of the coindesk article and looked up prior articles by the author.

Basically, he is a bitcoin fan boy and hates alts.

He has written enough articles to know about mining. The article he wrote points to x11 as an innovative algo, and points to examples where the OP of each example actually gives credit to Evan or Darkcoin.

The telling aspect of the article is the start:


We have a Bitcoin fan boy who picks out articles to write that ridicule alts, is aware that x11 has become popular, has evidently looked up price movements over the past week with Darkcoin trade volume being 2nd behind Bitcoin and so he decided to write something that writes out Darkcoin.

That only points to fear. Finally, a new currency racing up the charts that poses a legitimate threat to the Bitcoin fan boy and his rosy view of the world.

Fcukwit.

Hello Drk community.  Seems I may have made a large mistake.  I haven't kept up on the forum and I sent a number of Drk using what is now the old wallet.  After upgrading it shows the amount sent with zero confirmations after an hour or so.  Are the coins lost or will they eventually bounce back to the original wallet address?

Upgrade to v0.9.3.4 or v0.10.7.40 on http://darkcoin.io/getstarted.html, your coins aren't lost, this happened to many other people as well.

Likely just a scam.

Quite possibly. But raises interesting questions.

So the hosting company that accepts drk for example could offer master nodes as a service. People chip in as much as they could. Company get's drk for hosting (variable according to exchange rate) and takes a further % for the service. Contributors get % based on what they put in.

eventually bounce back to the original wallet address.
