I like the new logo too. I don't think BitcoinDark is only for 'Dark' purposes at all. It's a private investment, and an extension of Bitcoin.

The following post represents one day's work:

***
pushed a new version

​[6:06]
I started rearranging the code and finding all OS dependencies. now there is a hierachy of portableness so depending on the OS, just a few functions are needed, and at the layer above all the OS looks the same

​[6:07]
iguana has been written with this in mind all along, but havent verified I was strictly following for a while

​[6:07]
so, the codebase is now ready for somebody to see if it will compile natively in windows

​[6:08]
pthreads is probably the trickiest dependency for windows, but there is a pthreads for visual studio

​[6:08]
alternatively, mingw or cygwin can be used to cross compile

​[6:09]
the time functions are a mess, even for unix it is pretty messed up, so there isnt a clean way to make time functions portable across all OS

​[6:09]
unless

​[6:10]
unless you use a library that has minimal dependencies. I had known about bernstein's libtai for a while, but never looked into it in depth until today. I refactored it and it is in iguana now

​[6:10]
actually I made a crypto777.a library file for common things

​[6:11]
i got it to resume downloading from what it finished, well almost. bundles that are partially done will be restarted, but completed bundles should be found and used

​[6:11]
and since I was too tired to do any difficult coding after all that, I added 30 more API calls

​[6:13]
i havent tested them much at all, they do hash calculations, about 15 like sha256, sha1, rmd160, ... and the hmac using those hash functions, along with some bitcoin specific ones like double sha256 and rmd160 of sha256

​[6:14]
since iguana automatically provides a pure json output, what this means is that all of these hashes and hmac's are available via the half dozen ways to sending in the API

​[6:14]
and it can be verified via the port 7778 page. there are many online hash sites, but I never found one with all of these variants in the same place

cant withdraw BTCD from Craptsy and had to sell it
sadly

Week 32: 19.5 BTCD have been paid to 585 unique BitcoinDark addresses for successfully staking blocks 884492-895553

Nice payout with E9 and CORE funds being added to MMBTCD this week.

Thanks for staking and supporting the BTCD network!

I think it's officially RIPtsy

Not officially yet but... under the line you're most likely right.

Very good article:

Cryptsy: Mt. Gox Junior?
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/cryptsy-mt-gox-junior/

As far as I read there were some btc withdrawals from cryptsy today which were pending for weeks.
These were posted by users on chat.
I think cryptsy may be buying altcoins from other exchanges for cheap and sells them higher on cryptsy so they might get some btc to process withdrawals. Most of the altcoins there are 30-50% up

Got most of my coins out through buying NXT (processed within 30 minutes)
That was after I realised my 100 BTCD, 20 LTC withdrawals are delayed to oblivion.
Cant even cancel the withdrawal to buy NXT

"Yes, that's the problem. It seems they have multiple strategies to "fix" somebody (more somebodies money) so he can't do anything. They close one door after another and that says something about their own situation. But maybe you'll have luck and get your coins out."

Join the altcoin market, it will be fun they said.
Haha first you lose about 50% of your invested btc in the volatile altcoin market, then cryptsy loses the remaining btc on your behalf.

a week ago I made some profit using cryptsy. I exited with karma coin to another exchange, sold it for doge, sent doge to cryptsy and sold it there at higher price, then exited again with karma.
I repeated the process 3 times and gained around 15%
I can't do this now
