+  amount that's compatible
+- Fixed a locking bug on inputs
+- Fixed a collateral calculation bug
+
+
+0.10.14.1 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- security update: This update simply verifies that the signature was
+  not forged and that the masternodes entering the list are authentic.
+
+
+0.10.14.0 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- community release
+
+
+0.10.13.14 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- RC5 released!
+
+
+0.10.13.13 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- Bounds checking in a few places where it was lacking
+- Output list in transactions lacked random seeding
+- masternode constants for communication are much easier to read now
+
+
+0.10.13.12 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- disconnect on rejecting enforced block
+
+
+0.10.13.11 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- Improved handling of enforcement for bad masternode lists
+- Removed old masternode override code
+
+
+0.10.13.10 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- Changed splitting strategy to deal with some edge cases (endless splitting for a few users)
+- Updated stable proto version
+
+
+0.10.13.9 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Testnet merges use two, while mainnet merges will use 3 participants
+- Fixed the endless splitting issue causes by splitting 1000DRK and not making a DS compatible input
+
+
+0.10.13.8 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Debugged progress bar
+- New terms of use window
+- Darksend UI is disabled for masternodes now and titlebar says "[masternode]"
+- Improvement for dealing with splitting large inputs
+- Protocol version bump to kick old masternodes off
+
+
+0.10.13.7 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Redid the way the progress calculation works (should be smoother now and accurate)
+- Updated stable to prepare for enforcement testing
+
+
+0.10.13.6 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Added toggle off/on button to overview screen
+- Updated wording for darksend messages
+- Removed disable darksend checkbox from config screen
+- Added "-enabledarksend" cli option
+- Toggle button shows the basic configuration when started for
+  the first time now
+- Added tooltips for config screen
+- Changed DS participants to three
+- Bump minimum protocol to RC4
+- Added a spork for enforcing masternode payments (this will ensure misconfigured
+  pools break when we enable the spork)
+
+
+0.10.13.5 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- This should fix the endless splitting bug
+- Overview updates when you update settings and click OK now
+
+
+0.10.13.4 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Fixed issue with denominating small amounts of DRK in large wallet
+  (http://jira.darkcoin.qa/browse/DRK-46)
+- Made splitting up initial inputs much more efficient. Now when splitting up,
+  it will use powers of two from 4096 DRK in reverse to get the best possible
+  mix of inputs for the next phase without any bloat to the blockchain or to
+  the users wallet.
+- Fixed "transaction too large" due to the initial splitting function
+- Stopeed collateral/fee creation when it should have been doing a full
+  split instead
+- Sometimes the client would denominate less than the intended amount, then do
+  small denominations to make up the difference. This slowed down the
+  transactions and created extra transactions that weren't needed.
+- Darksend should anonymize very close to the intended amount now
+- Added Amount/Rounds to overview screen so you can see current settings
+- Overview darksend cache is cleared on settings change (will instantly update)
+- Fixed issue with completed amount jumping around
+  (http://jira.darkcoin.qa/browse/DRK-46)
+- Made messages less threatening (http://jira.darkcoin.qa/browse/DRK-60)
+
+PS : Please move testing funds to a new wallet. This version has massive
+optimizations for the way inputs are stored and split up. This will make
+everything much more efficient.
+
+
+0.10.13.3 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- This update deals with freezing, slow wallets, slow load times and the
+  "not compatible" error. I debugged one of the slow wallets and found it had
+  38,000 keys in the keypool, then after more investigation I found the passive
+  Darksend process has been reserve keys for every attempt! To rectify this
+  I've modified the queuing system, so users wait in a masternode queue without
+  actually sending the transactions until the queue is full.
+
+Please move any testing funds to a new wallet to test the new version.
+
+
+0.10.13.2 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Easy to read darksend progress bar (Mouse over for very detailed info)
+- Fixed a collateral bug
+- Moved around the overview screen, changed some of the text
+- Removed lots of debug messages (they show up only with debug=1 now)
+
+
+0.10.13.1 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Fixed a bug where the client gives the error "No funds detected in need of
+  denominating (2)" when it should have split
+
+
+0.10.12.27 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- removed inputs < 1 COIN from DS
+
+
+0.10.12.26 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- minor bugfix
+
+
+0.10.12.25 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+RC4 released!
+
+
+0.10.12.24 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- Reverted the pairing fix, seems the network didn't improve at all.
+- Inc protocol version
+
+
+0.10.12.23 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- Fixed an issue with pairing, hopefully it should be faster now
+- The client can now recongize it's out of fee inputs and make some more.
+- erasetransaction help (thanks BelStar)
+- inc protocol to kick off old versions
+
+
+0.10.12.22 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+All fees will use 0.001 sized inputs (they have no change so you can't follow
+them), all transactions now should look like this one:
+
+http://test.explorer.darkcoin.fr/tx/ce0ea2bdf630233955d459489b6f764e0d0bbe9e8a62531dd2a14b455626b59c
+
+- Client now creates fee sizes inputs for use in darksend denomination phases
+  to improve anonymity
+- new rpc command erasetransaction. Some users have reported non-confirming
+  transactions due to opening their wallet at multiple locations. This can and
+  will create double spent transactions that will not confirm. erasetransaction
+  is for removing them.
+- SplitUpMoney can only execute every 10 blocks now.
+- removed matching masternode debugging messages, that's not really an error
+- Client now prioritises sending denominated funds back into Darksend. This will
+  improve anonymity and help to respect the "anonymize darkcoin" amount in the
+  configuration.
+- fixed a bug where masternodes send failed transactions
+- changed max to 100k in configuration
+- added a warning message to startup (delete ~/.darkcoin/.agree_to_tou to see it)
+- found a bug causing inputs to get locked forever.
+- Darksend now checks diskspace before sending anything to a masternode.
+- incrementing protocol version to knock all old clients off
+
+
+0.10.12.21 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- Majorly improved the way darksend participants are paired together. It should
+  be super fast now.
+
+
+0.10.12.20 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- Disabled collateral charging for now. We'll work on this after RC4 is
+  released and update the masternode network after it's working properly. It's
+  not incredibly important at this stage (while we're closed source), so
+  I don't want it holding up the release. Plus it's really
+  the only issue we're experiencing
+- Merged rebroad's (https://github.com/rebroad) changes to bring debugging
+  output more in line with the bitcoin project. Output is now much cleaner and
+  can be split by category.
+- Removed some debug messages
+- Merged mac/windows build icons
+- Fixed windows "Apply" configuration bug
+- Darksend now shows address instead of "n/a"
+- Incremented protocol version to kick off old versions that charge fees. Fees
+  should be completely gone now.
+- Found a bug that was causing "not compatible" errors too often. This should
+  speed  up pairing.
+
+
+0.10.12.19 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- Added GUI configuration for Darksend Rounds, Enable Darksend and Anonymize
+  amount of DRK
+- Removed 5000DRK hard limit
+- Fixed another cause of getting hit by collateral
+- Send dialog now shows selected balance (Anon, non-anon and Total)
+
+
+0.10.12.18 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+This version uses the new queuing system to seek out compatible transactions
+(where the same denominations are used). It's also enforcing these limitations
+now, so it might be a bit slower.
+
+All transactions after this should look like this one:
+
+http://test.explorer.darkcoin.fr/tx/6de2c5204abdea451da930f61bae0f954eef13188a3a37a572a24c9d92057d5d
+
+
+0.10.12.17 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- I've switched up the way the masternode network works.
+    1.) Users now will join a random masternode (1 of the entire list, just
+        completely randomly)
+    2.) Upon joining if it's the first user, the masternode will propagate
+        a message stating it's taking participants for a merge
+    3.) Another user will check that queue, if it's got a recent node, it will
+        try that node first, otherwise it will go to 1.)
+
+- Darksend limited to 5000DRK per wallet.dat. Client will warn about this the
+  first time it's opened, then disable darksend from then on.
+- Fixed some bugs with connecting to the correct masternodes
+- Send was sending way too many coins for all modes, (I sent 100DRK anon and it
+  sent 2000DRK, then sent me change for the rest causing a whole reprocess of
+  everything in the wallet)
+- Client now updates Anonymized balance when you send money out
+- Fixed coin locking issues
+
+
+0.10.12.16 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- bugfixes
+
+
+0.10.12.15 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- Added session IDs for masternode communication. Clients were getting
+  confused when they got messages about other sessions (sometimes happened when
+  they all jumped on the same masternode at once)
+- Added a pre-session state where the client will query a random masternode
+  and ask if they can perform a merge on N darkcoin without giving any other
+  information. If that amount is compatible without losing anonymity, the client
+  will then add it's entry for merging
+- Added code to randomly use the top 20 masternodes, this can dynamically be
+  increased as more transaction traffic starts to happen (although it's not
+  implemented but it could be done later)
+- After successful transactions clients will now automatically attempt another
+  session on a random masternode, then repeat until they get any kind of error
+  or run out of funds that need to be processed.
+- Fixed a change address reuse issue
+- Fixed an issue with the compatible join algorithm (Masternodes will only join
+  the same denominations, this wasn't always the case before)
+- Inc protocol to kick old users odd again
+
+
+0.10.12.14 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- Fixed an issue where clients weren't connected to the correct masternode
+- Fixed masternode relay issues
+- Anonymous Balance now calculates correctly
+- Inc protocol to kick old users odd again
+
+
+0.10.12.13 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- This version automatically resets the masternode state machine after a short
+  period of inactivity.
+- Updated protocol version to kick old masternodes off
+
+
+0.10.12.12 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- Fixed change calc for Denominations in GUI
+- Flare found a logging error for dseep, fixed
+- Collateral now includes a fee (sometimes they took forever to get into a block)
+- Found race condition with new blocks and clearing darksend entries that was
+  causing some collateral fees
+- Found a communication mix up where clients would see messages from the wrong
+  masternode and think it was theirs, also causing collateral fees
+- Added "Anonymized Balance" to overview
+- Added "anonymized_balance" to getinfo
+- Changed dropbox box on Send Dialog to be clearer
+- Added text to the confirmation screen with what funds will be sent
+- incremented protocol version to force masternode updates
+
+
+0.10.12.11 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+- Darksend Denominate Outputs are now in a random order:
+
+http://test.explorer.darkcoin.fr/tx/072ca56cbf705b87749513a2d2ee02080d506adcf8fe178f6dc2967f0711788e
+http://test.explorer.darkcoin.fr/tx/32daa8ca46462e7e99f3532251d68a8c3835a080c937bd83b11db74e47b770ff
+
+- Darksend now uses 3 participants instead of two.
+- SplitUpMoney can now make collateral inputs when needed
+- Transactions now shows darksend transaction types for easier understanding
+  of what's going on:
+- Fixed a couple more cases where collateral was charged when it shouldn't
+  have happened (let me know if it happens after this version)
+- Fixed the money destruction bug, it was caused by "darksend denominate 8000".
+  I missed a reference and the client passed an empty address to
+  SendMoneyToDestination. rcp darksend source: http://pastebin.com/r14piKuq
+- Unlocking/Locking wallet fixes (was spamming the logs)
+- Unencrypted wallet fixes (was trying to lock every 10 seconds)
+- Flare found and fixed an issue with DGW3 for win32
+- Added Darksend detection to the UI
+- fixed senttoaddress, it will use all inputs when darksend is disabled now.
+  Otherwise it will ONLY use non-denom.
+- "darksend addr amount" now returns the hash of the transaction it creates
+
+
+0.10.12.10 Release notes
+------------------------
+
+Another huge update to the RC client, most of these are stability fixes and
+anonymity improvements:
+
+- Removed "darksend denominate", darksend now will figure out the most it can
+  denominate. Use "darksend auto" instead.
+- Fixed "Unknown State" display error
+- Fixed 0.0025 collateral issues caused by issues in the state machine, you
+  should only be charged this amount now if you shutdown your client during
+  the Darksend process.
+- Client will only submit 1 transaction into the pool fixing possible
+  anonymity issues
+- Masternodes will only merge compatible transactions using the same
+  denominations. For example (500,500,100) would be able to merge
+  with (500,100), (10,1) with (10,1,1), but not (500,1) with (10,1).
+  This improves the anonmity by not allowing someone to follow transactions by
+  the missing denominations.
+- Transactions use unique change addresses for every output of each round.
+- QT GUI will now ask to unlock the wallet when it detects Darksend wants to do
+  something and lock it when it's done again.
+- Darksend is turned off by default in the daemon now. In most cases daemons
+  won't want to run with anonymity (pools, exchanges, etc), if a user does they
+  can override the default setting with -enabledaemondarksend=true
+- Fees per round of Darksend are 0.001DRK or $0.00538 at current prices. This
+  means to anonymize 1000DRK with 3 rounds (an average use case) it would cost
+  a user 1.5 cents.
+- Protocol version is updated to kick old clients off testnet
+
+
+0.10.12.9 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+DS+ seems to be pretty stable now :-)
+
+- SplitUpMoney now calculates the balance correctly
+- Denominations are now 1 satoshi higher (denominated inputs will have to be
+  regenerated as the client will not recognize the old ones)
+- SplitUpMoney does a better job of splitting up really large wallets now
+- Fixed crashing issues
+- Added possible fix for masternode list syncing
+
+- RPC calls are changed a bit:
+
+    darksend denominate 100 - Will denominate 100DRK
+    darksend auto - Will run AutoDenominate
+    darksend Xaddr 100 - Will send 100 denominated DRK to Xaddr
+    sendtoaddress Xaddr 100 - Will send 100 non-denominated DRK to Xaddr
+
+
+0.10.12.8 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Fixed a few issues with input selection causing the
+  "Insufficent Funds 2" error
+- Masternodes now reset themselves when they give "entries is full".
+  Not sure what's causing it but a client will just try again
+- Improved the split up function
+- Fixed issues with AutoDenom in wallets larger than a few hundred
+- Fixed a case for collateral charges where the client gave up
+  when it shouldn't have
+- Input selection will now only select denominated, non-denominated or
+  all inputs. This caused ds+ inputs to get interrupted by the splitting
+  mechanism sometimes.
+- Added new GUI element for selecting which inputs you want to send
+- Fixed darksend+ rounds function, it was returning bad data in some cases
+  causing darksend inputs to never stop being sent through darksend.
+- Fixed "Send" dialog to be able to use the different kinds of inputs available.
+  Sending anonymous transactions should now work properly.
+- Fixed some coin select issues
+- Collateral selection issues
+- SplitUpMoney was sending denominated inputs and destroying the anonymity
+
+DoAutoDenominate should work in nearly all cases now.
+However, there are some known issues:
+
+- Random collateral charges (still will happen, but it's more uncommon.)
+- Password protected wallets
+
+
+Testing commands, you can start multiple wallets up and all denominate
+on the same masternode for testing purposes:
+/darkcoin-qt -datadir=/home/user/.darkcoin -listen=0 -darksendrounds=8 -usemasternode="192.168.56.102:19999"
+/darkcoin-qt -datadir=/home/user/.darkcoin2 -listen=0 -darksendrounds=8 -usemasternode="192.168.56.102:19999"
+
+and even disable darksend auto-denom if wanted:
+/darkcoin-qt -datadir=/home/user/.darkcoin -listen=0 -darksendrounds=8 -usemasternode="192.168.56.102:19999" -disabledarksend=1
+
+
+0.10.12.7 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Added a smart input splitting method. Place 1000+DRK into a brand new wallet
+  and it will be split into many inputs compatible with Darksend
+- DoAutodenomination now tries the correct balance (it was getting stuck on
+  the wrong inputs)
+- "entries is full" fix for at least one of the causes
+- Changed merging parties to two for easier debugging.
+- Fixed mod again (missed the one for the actual command you guys are using,
+  I was overriding the default there)
+
+
+0.10.12.6 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Fixed AutoDenominate. It seems to work pretty well now.
+- Inputs that are large will be broken up automatically for denomination
+- Masternodes should change every block now (missed a mod=10 last time)
+- Mixing requires 5 clients to merge now, should improve anonymity.
+- Mixing rounds are limited to 1000DRK, per block
+
+
+0.10.12.5 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Masternodes should change every block now
+- DoAutomaticDenomination should happen every block now
+- DarkSendRounds had a bug that I fixed, should calculate correctly now
+
+
+0.10.12.4 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+This is a pretty large update to the RC client.
+
+- New column "Darksend Rounds" in coincontrol to show how secure a given input is
+- Fixed a few issues causing darksend to fail. We should see many more darksends
+  occuring now if it's fixed.
+- Redid denominations to 1, 10, 100, and 500. Maybe this is too simple, but it
+  seems effective, all change from transactions will de denominated automatically
+  again through darksend for the next transactions. We'll see how it works.

+0.9.x Release notes
+===================
+
+The 0.9.x branch was discontienued with the open source release of Darksend in
+v0.10.14 on Sept/25/2014.
+
+
+0.9.13.14 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- RC5 released!
+
+
+0.9.13.13 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Bounds checking in a few places where it was lacking
+- Output list in transactions lacked random seeding
+- masternode constants for communication are much easier to read now
+
+
+0.9.13.12 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- disconnect on rejecting enforced block
+
+
+0.9.13.11 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Improved handling of enforcement for bad masternode lists
+- Removed old masternode override code
+
+
+0.9.13.10 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Changed splitting strategy to deal with some edge cases (endless splitting for a few users)
+- Updated stable proto version
+
+
+0.9.13.9 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+- Testnet merges use two, while mainnet merges will use 3 participants
+- Fixed the endless splitting issue causes by splitting 1000DRK and not making a DS compatible input
+
+
+0.9.13.8 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+- Debugged progress bar
+- New terms of use window
+- Darksend UI is disabled for masternodes now and titlebar says "[masternode]"
+- Improvement for dealing with splitting large inputs
+- Protocol version bump to kick old masternodes off
+
+
+0.9.13.7 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+- Redid the way the progress calculation works (should be smoother now and accurate)
+- Updated stable to prepare for enforcement testing
+
+
+0.9.13.6 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+- Added toggle off/on button to overview screen
+- Updated wording for darksend messages
+- Removed disable darksend checkbox from config screen
+- Added "-enabledarksend" cli option
+- Toggle button shows the basic configuration when started for
+  the first time now
+- Added tooltips for config screen
+- Changed DS participants to three
+- Bump minimum protocol to RC4
+- Added a spork for enforcing masternode payments (this will ensure misconfigured
+  pools break when we enable the spork)
+
+
+0.9.13.5 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+- This should fix the endless splitting bug
+- Overview updates when you update settings and click OK now
+
+
+0.9.13.4 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+- Fixed issue with denominating small amounts of DRK in large wallet
+  (http://jira.darkcoin.qa/browse/DRK-46)
+- Made splitting up initial inputs much more efficient. Now when splitting up,
+  it will use powers of two from 4096 DRK in reverse to get the best possible
+  mix of inputs for the next phase without any bloat to the blockchain or to
+  the users wallet.
+- Fixed "transaction too large" due to the initial splitting function
+- Stopeed collateral/fee creation when it should have been doing a full
+  split instead
+- Sometimes the client would denominate less than the intended amount, then do
+  small denominations to make up the difference. This slowed down the
+  transactions and created extra transactions that weren't needed.
+- Darksend should anonymize very close to the intended amount now
+- Added Amount/Rounds to overview screen so you can see current settings
+- Overview darksend cache is cleared on settings change (will instantly update)
+- Fixed issue with completed amount jumping around
+  (http://jira.darkcoin.qa/browse/DRK-46)
+- Made messages less threatening (http://jira.darkcoin.qa/browse/DRK-60)
+
+PS : Please move testing funds to a new wallet. This version has massive
+optimizations for the way inputs are stored and split up. This will make
+everything much more efficient.
+
+
+0.9.13.3 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+- This update deals with freezing, slow wallets, slow load times and the
+  "not compatible" error. I debugged one of the slow wallets and found it had
+  38,000 keys in the keypool, then after more investigation I found the passive
+  Darksend process has been reserve keys for every attempt! To rectify this
+  I've modified the queuing system, so users wait in a masternode queue without
+  actually sending the transactions until the queue is full.
+
+Please move any testing funds to a new wallet to test the new version.
+
+
+0.9.13.2 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+- Easy to read darksend progress bar (Mouse over for very detailed info)
+- Fixed a collateral bug
+- Moved around the overview screen, changed some of the text
+- Removed lots of debug messages (they show up only with debug=1 now)
+
+
+0.9.13.1 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+- Fixed a bug where the client gives the error "No funds detected in need of
+  denominating (2)" when it should have split
+
+
+0.9.12.27 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- removed inputs < 1 COIN from DS
+
+
+0.9.12.26 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- minor bugfix
+
+
+0.9.12.25 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+RC4 released!
+
+
+0.9.12.24 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Reverted the pairing fix, seems the network didn't improve at all.
+- Inc protocol version
+
+
+0.9.12.23 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Fixed an issue with pairing, hopefully it should be faster now
+- The client can now recongize it's out of fee inputs and make some more.
+- erasetransaction help (thanks BelStar)
+- inc protocol to kick off old versions
+
+
+0.9.12.22 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+All fees will use 0.001 sized inputs (they have no change so you can't follow
+them), all transactions now should look like this one:
+
+http://test.explorer.darkcoin.fr/tx/ce0ea2bdf630233955d459489b6f764e0d0bbe9e8a62531dd2a14b455626b59c
+
+- Client now creates fee sizes inputs for use in darksend denomination phases
+  to improve anonymity
+- new rpc command erasetransaction. Some users have reported non-confirming
+  transactions due to opening their wallet at multiple locations. This can and
+  will create double spent transactions that will not confirm. erasetransaction
+  is for removing them.
+- SplitUpMoney can only execute every 10 blocks now.
+- removed matching masternode debugging messages, that's not really an error
+- Client now prioritises sending denominated funds back into Darksend. This will
+  improve anonymity and help to respect the "anonymize darkcoin" amount in the
+  configuration.
+- fixed a bug where masternodes send failed transactions
+- changed max to 100k in configuration
+- added a warning message to startup (delete ~/.darkcoin/.agree_to_tou to see it)
+- found a bug causing inputs to get locked forever.
+- Darksend now checks diskspace before sending anything to a masternode.
+- incrementing protocol version to knock all old clients off
+
+
+0.9.12.21 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Majorly improved the way darksend participants are paired together. It should
+  be super fast now.
+
+
+0.9.12.20 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Disabled collateral charging for now. We'll work on this after RC4 is
+  released and update the masternode network after it's working properly. It's
+  not incredibly important at this stage (while we're closed source), so
+  I don't want it holding up the release. Plus it's really
+  the only issue we're experiencing
+- Merged rebroad's (https://github.com/rebroad) changes to bring debugging
+  output more in line with the bitcoin project. Output is now much cleaner and
+  can be split by category.
+- Removed some debug messages
+- Merged mac/windows build icons
+- Fixed windows "Apply" configuration bug
+- Darksend now shows address instead of "n/a"
+- Incremented protocol version to kick off old versions that charge fees. Fees
+  should be completely gone now.
+- Found a bug that was causing "not compatible" errors too often. This should
+  speed   up pairing.
+
+
+
+0.9.12.19 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Added GUI configuration for Darksend Rounds, Enable Darksend and Anonymize
+  amount of DRK
+- Removed 5000DRK hard limit
+- Fixed another cause of getting hit by collateral
+- Send dialog now shows selected balance (Anon, non-anon and Total)
+
+
+0.9.12.18 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+This version uses the new queuing system to seek out compatible transactions
+(where the same denominations are used). It's also enforcing these limitations
+now, so it might be a bit slower.
+
+All transactions after this should look like this one:
+
+http://test.explorer.darkcoin.fr/tx/6de2c5204abdea451da930f61bae0f954eef13188a3a37a572a24c9d92057d5d
+
+
+0.9.12.17 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- I've switched up the way the masternode network works.
+    1.) Users now will join a random masternode (1 of the entire list, just
+        completely randomly)
+    2.) Upon joining if it's the first user, the masternode will propagate
+        a message stating it's taking participants for a merge
+    3.) Another user will check that queue, if it's got a recent node, it will
+        try that node first, otherwise it will go to 1.)
+
+- Darksend limited to 5000DRK per wallet.dat. Client will warn about this the
+  first time it's opened, then disable darksend from then on.
+- Fixed some bugs with connecting to the correct masternodes
+- Send was sending way too many coins for all modes, (I sent 100DRK anon and it
+  sent 2000DRK, then sent me change for the rest causing a whole reprocess of
+  everything in the wallet)
+- Client now updates Anonymized balance when you send money out
+- Fixed coin locking issues
+
+
+0.9.12.16 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- bugfixes
+
+
+0.9.12.15 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Added session IDs for masternode communication. Clients were getting
+  confused when they got messages about other sessions (sometimes happened when
+  they all jumped on the same masternode at once)
+- Added a pre-session state where the client will query a random masternode
+  and ask if they can perform a merge on N darkcoin without giving any other
+  information. If that amount is compatible without losing anonymity, the client
+  will then add it's entry for merging
+- Added code to randomly use the top 20 masternodes, this can dynamically be
+  increased as more transaction traffic starts to happen (although it's not
+  implemented but it could be done later)
+- After successful transactions clients will now automatically attempt another
+  session on a random masternode, then repeat until they get any kind of error
+  or run out of funds that need to be processed.
+- Fixed a change address reuse issue
+- Fixed an issue with the compatible join algorithm (Masternodes will only join
+  the same denominations, this wasn't always the case before)
+- Inc protocol to kick old users odd again
+
+
+0.9.12.14 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Fixed an issue where clients weren't connected to the correct masternode
+- Fixed masternode relay issues
+- Anonymous Balance now calculates correctly
+- Inc protocol to kick old users odd again
+
+
+0.9.12.13 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- This version automatically resets the masternode state machine after a short
+  period of inactivity.
+- Updated protocol version to kick old masternodes off
+
+
+0.9.12.12 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Fixed change calc for Denominations in GUI
+- Flare found a logging error for dseep, fixed
+- Collateral now includes a fee (sometimes they took forever to get into a block)
+- Found race condition with new blocks and clearing darksend entries that was
+  causing some collateral fees
+- Found a communication mix up where clients would see messages from the wrong
+  masternode and think it was theirs, also causing collateral fees
+- Added "Anonymized Balance" to overview
+- Added "anonymized_balance" to getinfo
+- Changed dropbox box on Send Dialog to be clearer
+- Added text to the confirmation screen with what funds will be sent
+- incremented protocol version to force masternode updates
+
+
+0.9.12.11 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+- Darksend Denominate Outputs are now in a random order:
+
+http://test.explorer.darkcoin.fr/tx/072ca56cbf705b87749513a2d2ee02080d506adcf8fe178f6dc2967f0711788e

+
+- Darksend now uses 3 participants instead of two.
+- SplitUpMoney can now make collateral inputs when needed
+- Transactions now shows darksend transaction types for easier understanding
+  of what's going on:
+- Fixed a couple more cases where collateral was charged when it shouldn't
+  have happened (let me know if it happens after this version)
+- Fixed the money destruction bug, it was caused by "darksend denominate 8000".
+  I missed a reference and the client passed an empty address to
+  SendMoneyToDestination. rcp darksend source: http://pastebin.com/r14piKuq
+- Unlocking/Locking wallet fixes (was spamming the logs)
+- Unencrypted wallet fixes (was trying to lock every 10 seconds)
+- Flare found and fixed an issue with DGW3 for win32
+- Added Darksend detection to the UI
+- fixed senttoaddress, it will use all inputs when darksend is disabled now.
+  Otherwise it will ONLY use non-denom.
+- "darksend addr amount" now returns the hash of the transaction it creates
+
+
+0.9.12.10 Release notes
+-----------------------
+
+Another huge update to the RC client, most of these are stability fixes and
+anonymity improvements:
+
+- Removed "darksend denominate", darksend now will figure out the most it can
+  denominate. Use "darksend auto" instead.
+- Fixed "Unknown State" display error
+- Fixed 0.0025 collateral issues caused by issues in the state machine, you
+  should only be charged this amount now if you shutdown your client during
+  the Darksend process.
+- Client will only submit 1 transaction into the pool fixing possible
+  anonymity issues
+- Masternodes will only merge compatible transactions using the same
+  denominations. For example (500,500,100) would be able to merge
+  with (500,100), (10,1) with (10,1,1), but not (500,1) with (10,1).
+  This improves the anonmity by not allowing someone to follow transactions by
+  the missing denominations.
+- Transactions use unique change addresses for every output of each round.
+- QT GUI will now ask to unlock the wallet when it detects Darksend wants to do
+  something and lock it when it's done again.
+- Darksend is turned off by default in the daemon now. In most cases daemons
+  won't want to run with anonymity (pools, exchanges, etc), if a user does they
+  can override the default setting with -enabledaemondarksend=true
+- Fees per round of Darksend are 0.001DRK or $0.00538 at current prices. This
+  means to anonymize 1000DRK with 3 rounds (an average use case) it would cost
+  a user 1.5 cents.
+- Protocol version is updated to kick old clients off testnet
+
+
+0.9.12.9 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+
+DS+ seems to be pretty stable now :-)
+
+- SplitUpMoney now calculates the balance correctly
+- Denominations are now 1 satoshi higher (denominated inputs will have to be
+  regenerated as the client will not recognize the old ones)
+- SplitUpMoney does a better job of splitting up really large wallets now
+- Fixed crashing issues
+- Added possible fix for masternode list syncing
+
+- RPC calls are changed a bit:
+
+    darksend denominate 100 - Will denominate 100DRK
+    darksend auto - Will run AutoDenominate
+    darksend Xaddr 100 - Will send 100 denominated DRK to Xaddr
+    sendtoaddress Xaddr 100 - Will send 100 non-denominated DRK to Xaddr
+
+
+0.9.12.8 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+- Fixed a few issues with input selection causing the
+  "Insufficent Funds 2" error
+- Masternodes now reset themselves when they give "entries is full".
+  Not sure what's causing it but a client will just try again
+- Improved the split up function
+- Fixed issues with AutoDenom in wallets larger than a few hundred
+- Fixed a case for collateral charges where the client gave up
+  when it shouldn't have
+- Input selection will now only select denominated, non-denominated or
+  all inputs. This caused ds+ inputs to get interrupted by the splitting
+  mechanism sometimes.
+- Added new GUI element for selecting which inputs you want to send
+- Fixed darksend+ rounds function, it was returning bad data in some cases
+  causing darksend inputs to never stop being sent through darksend.
+- Fixed "Send" dialog to be able to use the different kinds of inputs available.
+  Sending anonymous transactions should now work properly.
+- Fixed some coin select issues
+- Collateral selection issues
+- SplitUpMoney was sending denominated inputs and destroying the anonymity
+
+
+DoAutoDenominate should work in nearly all cases now.
+However, there are some known issues:
+
+- Random collateral charges (still will happen, but it's more uncommon.)
+- Password protected wallets
+
+
+Testing commands, you can start multiple wallets up and all denominate
+on the same masternode for testing purposes:
+/darkcoin-qt -datadir=/home/user/.darkcoin -listen=0 -darksendrounds=8 -usemasternode="192.168.56.102:19999"
+/darkcoin-qt -datadir=/home/user/.darkcoin2 -listen=0 -darksendrounds=8 -usemasternode="192.168.56.102:19999"
+
+and even disable darksend auto-denom if wanted:
+/darkcoin-qt -datadir=/home/user/.darkcoin -listen=0 -darksendrounds=8 -usemasternode="192.168.56.102:19999" -disabledarksend=1
+
+
+0.9.12.7 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+- Added a smart input splitting method. Place 1000+DRK into a brand new wallet
+  and it will be split into many inputs compatible with Darksend
+- DoAutodenomination now tries the correct balance (it was getting stuck on
+  the wrong inputs)
+- "entries is full" fix for at least one of the causes
+- Changed merging parties to two for easier debugging.
+- Fixed mod again (missed the one for the actual command you guys are using,
+  I was overriding the default there)
+
+
+0.9.12.6 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+- Fixed AutoDenominate. It seems to work pretty well now.

+0.9.12.4 Release notes
+----------------------
+
+This is a pretty large update to the RC client.
+
+- New column "Darksend Rounds" in coincontrol to show how secure a given input is
+- Fixed a few issues causing darksend to fail. We should see many more darksends
+  occuring now if it's fixed.
+- Redid denominations to 1, 10, 100, and 500. Maybe this is too simple, but it
+  seems effective, all change from transactions will de denominated automatically
+  again through darksend for the next transactions. We'll see how it works.
+- usemasternode option, will override active masternode (only in RC, just for testing)
+
+0.9.12.3 Release notes

+- Incremented protocol version to kick off clients with vout(0) payment bug
+- DoAutomaticDenominations 100DRK limit changed to 500DRK (we should see a bunch
+  of denominations happen now)
