Introducing Darkleaks:

Mine said version 60001 until I used -upgradewallet.

That is weird!  Newly installed QT executable downloaded only a few days ago...

"walletversion" is for internal structure of wallet.dat and has nothing to do with qt/daemon executables. Basically Darkcoin started as a litecoin 0.8 fork and wallet.dat structure changed few times already as we had few major versions following changes in bitcoin. The latest structure changes were introduced in Core I believe.
They are meant to be compatible however (wallet should give an alert when you have an incompatible version, there are few checks in code). It looks like smth was changed in bitcoin that might break stuff with old versions which considered to be compatible.

And btw, there is no need to run with -upgradewallet option every single time but yeah, it might be a good thing to notify everyone next time it changes.

6666 on the offer @ Cryptsy... Is it otoh!?

If you wall @ 800 I think you would get semi filled there TBH, maybe not as many as you want but a decent amount...

Thanks for that.

I don't think people will realise for a while just how big this is.

I have just started looking into the concept of crypto and torrents and I think this is one of those areas that will push bitcoin prices, and altcoin prices along with it, to new highs.

Forget Coinbase getting regulated. Forget ETFs. This is the next big news explosion for bitcoin and bitcoin prices.

Just look at how many torrent clients got downloaded over the last year or two



People love to download stuff, for free.

Take into account sensitive information leaks, and bitcoin will be in the media every single day. Front page news, every news channel. Every major leak will be broadcast around the world - the latest leak and how to find it.

If confidential commercial information gets posted into Bitcoin and ransom demands are made and people want paying in Bitcoin, then businesses will be buying tens of thousands of bitcoins in order to pay ransoms.

If BTC doesn't go to $10,000 over the next few years, then I'll shag a sheep.

edit

This will likely cause political pressure to shutdown Bitcoin. Vested interests will pour money into lobby groups. They will stuff millions into the coffers of politicians to bring in new laws to ban Bitcoin.

While I think Bitcoin will still go to $10,000/BTC, I think Darkcoin will see an even bigger rise as the focus of attention shifts to something that is harder to track and therefore potentially harder to shutdown than BTC. Why?  

I can see a time when Senator's call up a blockchain and say look, that's the transaction that contains details of all our secret missile bases. Shut the fuckers down or American will become an easy target.

its impossible.

(guess which one )

I don't think Ripple is a scam but I do think it's a "nonsense" currency. (In the sense that it is a conveyor belt for fiat which actually works better without a blockchain).

I don't even know what it's doing in crypto listings.


Sorry, I meant XPY  

...now fixed.

I was just celebrating the fact that justice appears to be beginning to loom over the horizon on all fronts:

 - XPY tanking
 - XRP tanking
 - Bitcoin consolidating
 - DRK consolidating
 
I'm even happy with Maidsafe coin being there because at least that's a complimentary technology (built by a Glaswegian !!! - well, Kilmarnock, almost - I'm obliged to give it a fair wind due to regional loyalties).

Reported them all!
