curious.. is the said announcement something big?
We don't know. The only thing i know is that when Digibytes announces something it's not just something simple. I think it's about the outside investment/partnership probably with someone from china? |

Google translate says... "Darkcoin , the virtual currency of the black market online" "New black market niches result of this new currency" LOL! i know it gives darkcoin a bad name but what they're doing is like free advertising. people get more and more curious and intrigued about it, wondering why the authorities fear DRK so much. |

I must say, this project is really going great IMO.
Every milestone has been planned and negotiated with such a balanced degree of pioneering spirit and realistic pragmatism that it's difficult to look back and see how anything could have been done differently - even with the benefit of hindsight.
Despite that, there have been enough mistakes and challenges along the way for the progress to be real and not delusional.
Major congratulations to all involved for getting it so far in such a competitive and technically precarious sector.
The biggest issue we are having is the fact that DRK is a one-man team. I know the team is bigger than just Evan, but Evan is the only person that brings actual skills to the table (no offense to the other team members). He is really fast and he works really hard and he is a genius, but in the end, it is still just 1 person. The size of the team is the biggest threat this project is facing. We can deal with this once DRK's exposure goes through the roof though (hopefully). Yes, risk management 101 but since we are open source I think many great devs will be attracted to the project freedom fighter types like the peter todd or amir taaki would be awesome i think. |

The altmarket is the biggest suppression when it comes to Bitcoin mass adoption. To date, there should rightfully only be a handful of altcoins available, specifically, those that actually feature innovations and/or improve upon blockchain technology.
But no, instead we have thousands of 'shitcoins' made strictly, for the most part, to scam investors for a quick buck.
Adding a new currency was initially limited to the governments throughout the world. Now we gave that same power to every capable individual. And we as a whole, have produced one decent 'currency' per hundreds of shitcoins produced per month.
When I was introduced to Bitcoin, i did more research into cryptocurrency. Not long after, without even trying, I basically knew so much about altcoins...specifically, the scams. I heard more news about Altcoin scams than I did about actual bitcoin news.
This is the kind of crap that will ruin Crypto. A huge percentage of BTC owners dont hold or invest in BTC. They use it to trade via trading against shitcoins. A majority of BTC holders dont really care about if Bitcoin goes 'to the moon'. They just want to choose wisely between a 'short' or a 'long'.
Your average basement dweller can produce a new altcoin in a few hours and dedicate the remainder of the day to create a few graphics, hype up some new 'innovation', and the sheeple traders follow blindly. Next thing you know, hidden premine. Dev earns $5-50k for a days work. And on to the next one.
This is crypto. Only a tiny percentage actually use bitcoin as a currency instead of just a trading token. The majority are only in it for trading against shitcoins.
Shut down all Bitcoin exchanges save only those keeping ONLY BTC/USD, and you will see a true rise to BTC. As long as the alt market is present, Bitcoin will go nowhere but a steady downtrend in terms of value.
The majority of the bitcoin community is the reason why Bitcoin will never be truly become the new currency as some believe.
I'll come back to this when BTC is trading @ $250 ea. by XMAS, and $120 by the end of winter.
RIP Tim Draper.
what you're saying is true to a point. but remember mainstream adoption won't happen over night.. not with the banksters around. it is a long hard road ahead for btc even without the hundreds of useless altcoins. in fact, i don't mind btc having its own ecosystem of altcoins revolving around it. |

in my view: stupid. can he also create & build something usefull?
He did/does: Dark Wallet Does Cody code ? So, whats the story with TBF ? You have to pay to be a member ? That sounds dodgy right away. How about a democratic single transferable vote electoral system - maybe it could be done via the blockchain ? I dunno. Presumably the worry with TBF is that it will be co-opted by big business - or compromise bitcoins core values for widespread usage ? I'd argue the problem's just letting a group of people appear to be the authority on Bitcoin without necessarily being selected by the community, which is not limited to people paying annual dues to an election committee. TBF does more than select who gets to talk to the press, obviously, but I think that's kind of the rub, because members sometimes say things some of us consider antithetical to whatever "we" think Bitcoin stands for. They've done some good things. The other similar issue could come from TBF selecting not only who talks to the press, but who talks to governments, where the message could be even more critical. That said, I'm unaware of TBF ever actually claiming to be *the* voice of Bitcoin, and I've never heard of any government agency which says "well, we can only have one expert at the Bitcoin hearing, so let's call up The Bitcoin Foundation, cause it sounds legit!" I've gone from being leery to being a donor to hating them (some pretty tragic choices for board members) to ambivalence. so in a way, do you think cody wilson is 'liberating' bitcoin somehow by 'destroying' TBF? edit: i'm pretty sure the community could come up with something better than TBF if ever it was 'destroyed'. |

what`s going on with BC? why is price falling since weeks? any bad news or just a correction?
just a downtrend. this happens from time to time with any instrument of speculation be it stocks, commodities, currencies.. etc. |

someone in the via community who has a good rep and who is regarded highly should issue a 'token' in clearing house, and all via collected from the sales of the said tokens should be used for giveaways, promotions, contests and such to help the community grow.

That's actually good news i just hope they won't stigmatize BTC. |

Interesting and admirable cause, but the crowdfund is far overvalued in my estimation.
kinda... and for a project like this, i think it would be better for it to be inflationary as the target is to have more and more people join the network and to have lots of 'tokens' to go around, rather than the actual value of the 'token' to go up. |

Zynga VP follows drak is the evidence. We may know the results in the near future.
Exactly. Don't expect a press release for a few months, while Zynga creates something more worth announcing than vapor. All you pump seekers, go play with some other coin and come back next summer. and pumpers should leave this coin alone too. |

just hedge your bets. convert some BTC to USD while it's downtrending, then buy back at lower prices. if you feel iffy holding USD in an exchange, there's nubits.
