I earned 4.5MM NXT and I'm still running 1.1 This isn't real?!  How much will you pay for 2 pizzas delivered to your house? Haha! So this guy mined 4.5 million NXT? Now long did that take and what gear? That's a lot of NXT in my opinion. I gotta get myself some mining gear; paying dollars for Bitcoin/Crypto is painful. He was joking, pretending he was on a fork forging all the Nxt. You can't mine Nxt directly but a few try to run multipools that pay out in Nxt but they are having problems at the moment, I think. hashraste.org was the main one but, as I say, there are issues that need working out.. lol its happened to me a few times, usually if you run an outdated client!  |

The only thing that DRK has that no other coin currently has is a cult following...
Nuff said.

Let's ignore DarkCoin. They are not interested in information exchange, cryptocurrency scene related discussions or debates. Most of the regular, loud, rude posters have no technically understanding and choosen to strictly deny any word that doesnt fit their collective religious opinion about DarkCoin.
A big part of them is driven by greed (e.g. MN owners, they dream about becoming bitcoin-rich with darkcoin).
These DarkCoin people are not really interested in Crypto Currency or privacy. They just want to get rich, by following their messias Evan. So they are ok with everything he did and is going to do. No matter how questionable it was/is. Like in a sect with a guru.
They don't know or care about any ideals and principals, that cryptocurrency origins of and all early scene members and founders stood for.
They have no interest in technology or building an sustainable eco-system. They just want to get rich and leave.
They are no true cryptocurrency supporters or even regular scene members. Just randoms kids, the Bitcoin boom attracted them. (E.g. Like the poker boom once attracted millions of the new players to online poker.) They dont wan't to and intellectualy can't contribute to the scene or even their own coin.
They live their dreams of a golden future, given to them by the holy Evan. They even would be ok with Evan working for the NSA, because they dont share our believes.
It's a waste of time talking with them, nothing can result from it.
They are out of touch with reality, like hardcore taliban or tea party members in the USA.
1.) they are explicitly don't listen and are proud of it 2.) their project isnt an community project with community participation in decision making, they see no value in community discussion about technology, development roadmap or strategy, because they have no influence in them
(they know very well that their opinion won't matter and Evan alone is deciding everything in the project)
There are enough coin-neutral altcoin people, general cryptocurrency experts and some of us may even know some Darkcoin people in private, that are ok. We can discuss with them about DarkCoin.
I completley agree with you! All the DRK community want to do is get rich quick! Im so over reading all the posts that claim $100/DRK or $1000/DRK etc, its a joke! The idea behind masternodes is a very clever idea to reduce supply and inflate value also. The technology behind Monero is superior to DRK in every way and actually works. As you and many others here well know, that the DRK community had numerous trolls who were trying their hardest to damage the reputation of Monero and XC, they partially succeeded with XC which is sad, as i really wished their team well, i dont know whats happenig with XC currently, but that dev had everything working well at the time that DRK was having all the masternode forking issues. Monero (and anycryptonote based coin for that matter) is still more anon than DRK will ever be. |

Thanks! Couldn't agree more about the blockchain bloat issue. Somebody wrote something the other day that stuck with me--Bitcoin devs are basically doing nothing but hoping that Moore's Law outpaces the growth of the blockchain.
Isn't that a hell of a thing? The community is basically hoping that improvements in hardware will overcome their complete inability to implement an actual solution. That's a lot like me having a $700 a month electric bill, and instead of weatherizing my house, simply hoping that my salary continues to rise fast enough to make ends meet!
I agree! But this is a problem with all 1.0 generation coins (including darkcoin) since they are all based on BTC code. DRK is still POW, mining difficulty is still increasing, ASIC's are more expensive to produce for X11, is there any plans for blockchain pruning with DRK? Will the TPS be able to effectively be increased with DRK? If so, how de-centralised will it be? Also, i firmly believe in recoding everything from ground up, since BTC was essentially flawed in design with no consideration for future scalability. The one thing that BTC did was introduce a new technology and the concept of cryptocurrency, but thats why i believe that projects such as NXT and NEM will go places, DRK could very well become another pump and dump too, however i do agree that there is alot more active development with this project, i dont personally see many 1.0 coins succeeding, (DRK could be an exception) but we have all seen these coins have their day, look where LTC is going, Quark, primecoin and other such coins have also had their moment and now they are almost forgotten. |

Bitcoin is not looking too bright at present, of course all crypto is being affected as a result, hopefully all the shitcoins will die, we are not seeing very many new [ANN] pages currently which is good.
I dont think bitcoin will die any time soon, but we will see bitcoin loose a good chunk of marketshare, mainly to other projects such as NXT and NEM etc, some 1.0 coins will always be around, but there wont be any more than 10 different crypto currencies, there is simply too much competition and not enough innovation with the majority of all these pump and dumps which most of them all are.

It just shows how ruthless the DRK community is that they think they can just take this name for no reason, i dont even know if it can legally be bought, since as others have said, the name belongs to the whole community.
If its worth that much, the DASH community should be paid a decent pay packet!

Darkcoin is the most mentioned coin on this board already.... i mean run some searches in every coin thread someone is talking about it.
I couldn't figure out why Duff would buy a perfectly good coin, with proven state-of-the-art Cryptonote anon, only to ruin it with shitty trusted 3rd party Masternodes. Now I'm thinking the DASH rebranding is an attempt to escape Darkcoin's widespread reputation for being an instamined scam. I think they are trying to make a DASH for it! lol There is something just a bit tacky about the word dash which i cant quite put my finger on, but you get the idea. |

Its now official! Darkcoin is rebranding to DASH 25th march!  |
|
|

Sounds very dodgy AKA (dark) dealings going on with Evan, no wonder they want to rebrand and what a dirty means of business in the process!

Dont know what kind of dev that would abandon such a stable, popular coin though.
Just another reason why i suspect Kimoto is KDC, he went quiet here around the same time as our elections when he was campaigning for his internet party. Then he had his hands full with more court battles etc.
What do you mean saying that dev abandon MEC? If it is true this means that MEC is dead. But I hope it is not true. Maybe somebody should make takeover. Im implying that i would be surprised if the devs for MEC would abandon such a successful and popular coin. My theory why things are quiet is that KDC is Kimoto and the timing of his absence co-coincided with his election campaign. |

This is going to now open a huge can of worms in the DRK community...

Hey guys, sorry this process was somewhat upsetting we never intended to relaunch as Dashcoin, we are simply DASH. The former developer had already decided to leave this project.
Plus we all know Smooth and the other Monero developers wouldn't be here if it wasn't for this, so no need to antagonize. No one is being arrogant, we are truly sorry for any inconvenience and we wish you the best.
Well stand firm and stay strong to your name, you had it first. |

Darkcoin is wanting to use your name and rebrand to DASH, this is likely to cause confusion for you.
I would voice your concern over on their thread!

What? That text doesn't say Dark wasn't instamined, it just says the devs don't own those coins. Yes, I have read it the FAQ. It says in several places that there was an instamine, and explains the details. Trolls have been singing your tune and saying DRK was doomed to crash since it was under 10% of it's current price. Any argument against the rise of DRK that was being said at that time has now been proved wrong. Come up with new arguments or go home. If you read page 1 on the DRK ANN thread you will see people complaining about there only being a linux wallet and no windows etc. Not very professional if you tell me. Even if the devs dont hold any of the "instamined" coins, others do, not a very fair distribution method if you ask me. Then the total supply was further reduced, again not very professional. |
