I'll let you know in a few days.



Any change?

Any change?

I have 2 coins now, since yesterday - more than 8 hours ago and 1000+ confirmations and the wallet still says I cannot stake because I don't have mature coins. I'm going to transfer in more coins, but it's still going to take a few days.



Someone able to understand the code could tell me if there is any minimum value condition for the icon to display active staking? Or is it in fact not staking until a certain threshold number of coins is reached? In that case the tooltip message could be a little more informative.

[ANN]



I'd like to announce that @windjc is taking the marketing lead and is currently putting together a comprehensive marketing plan.



I'm not exaggerating when I make the claim that BTCD has the most compelling tech in all of crypto. However, it is clear that the message is not getting through and needs an overhaul in all areas , and windjc, with his many years of marketing experience, will help to change all that.



That being said, we don't have an "Ethereum" budget for marketing so we're going to need anyone and everyone that is willing and able to step up and volunteer in any way that you can, whether that be creating graphics, responding to posts on social media channels, writing blog material, etc.



Please make a post here if you are willing to volunteer and indicate any skills and/or an area you'd prefer to offer assistance.



Marketing activities will be centralized and operations will be coordinated in a private channel, however community discussions are encouraged to take place here.



@windjc: can add his thoughts to clarify or correct anything i've said



(Additionally, Please post if you have any Web Dev experience and are willing to assist @veririchd with the html GUI development in any way he deems necessary)

Now that I own 2 BTCD for almost 24hr, the wallet started staking! My current weight is 1! LOL

Reward in 62 days! Counting the hours xD



So btcdev was quite friendly and explained for small amounts it takes longer for staking to become active - the more coins you have in the wallet, the faster it starts. Which is something I really don't understand, and also why is it so hard to predict a minimum amount necessary to start or rather how long your tiny amount of coin will take to be considered for staking.



Anyhow, thanks a lot everyone who was kind enough to try and help, everything should be ok now. Cheers!

I don't like the name though, and I wish it would be be changed. BitcoinDark sounds like a cheap fork of bitcoin. At least that was my own initial thought when I encountered it for the first time.



Perhaps the name should be a reference to the medium that is being transfered. I'm not a huge science fiction guy, so I don't know what that is in telepathy... energy?



So we have a currency unit that:

1) does not exist in physical form,

2) is finite,

3) is available everywhere

4) cannot be seen or tracked.



In other words... the coin has value, because multible computer memories around the world are in consensus that your lengthy piece of characters have some of it. The coin exchanges hands when it is teleported near the reciever, who then uses his telepathic skills to collect it in secret without anyone noticing. As money the coin itself represents part of the physical goods of our world, allowing the owner to transform his labor into future consumption. The owner can feel secure that the coin supply cannot be inflated, bacause of a mathemathical formula that almost no-one understands. All in all, this allows anyone to hide his wealth, avoid taxes, have a lot of sex, buy drugs and be happy.



OK, maybe I went a little too far. Anyway, the name should hint towards some of these characteristics.



I did little searching and found some Latin words that are related. Perhaps someone who is great with names and is a native english speaker (and knows some Latin) could come up with a great name.



ubique = anywhere, everywhere

argentum = money, silver

aurum = gold

denarius = money

opes = means, wealth, abundance, riches, resources.

tele = distance

porta = gate, entrance

patheia = to be affected by

Potior = to possess, hold, get possession of

Possessio = possession, property

bona = assets, belongings, Estate, good, goods, possession, property

finitus = finite I believe the rebranding should be done by marketing BitcoinDark with themes of science fiction, magic, future tech, etc. It would go hand in hand with the concepts of 'teleport' and 'telepathy'.I don't like the name though, and I wish it would be be changed.

@Audo, good post - interesting ideas for rebranding and a name change is certainly worth considering - even if it was ultimately decided to stay with the existing one. @Audo, good post - interesting ideas for rebranding and a name change is certainly worth considering - even if it was ultimately decided to stay with the existing one.

I didn't leave enough buffer for Tx Fees so the payments got cut off. I will carry over the 3.9 BTCD for next weeks payment.

Unfortunately Ubuntu trusty has only libminiupnpc8.

Where I can find the source codes?



Can you provide a static version?

Can you provide a static version?

#Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64 dependency issue:



In recent testing we found Ubuntu 14.04 had issue finding a dependecy (libminiupnpc.so.10) for "BitcoinDarkd" process. To resolve that you can follow these steps:



1. sudo apt-get install -y libminiupnpc-dev



2. Check if file required 'libminiupnpc.so' or 'libminiupnpc.so.10' is present on system by using this commmand: ls -lh /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libminiupnpc.so*



3. If 'libminiupnpc.so' is there but 'libminiupnpc.so.10' isn't use this command to make symlink: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libminiupnpc.so.8 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libminiupnpc.so.10



4. Now start BTCD Wallet again and it should work fine.





GoldenEye, a new version of the wallet will be coming soon with a one click installer for all platforms. The current html wallet is a very raw beta version primarily for testing.
