Yay, price is back to where I bought the fucking dip because a quick check made me think the drop was nonsensical when I came home yesterday and saw the 20+ pages of rebranding drama.
It's just beginning, my friend... |

The Darkcoin Chameleon morphs into the DASH Dalmatian.
Looking for logo suggestions, how about a Dalmatian with DASH logos for spots?
Twitter header and logos needed. Who can help?
Let me know if you like it or not. I can change sizes if you want, if you like it, for a twitter header. It's a good start. I like it. I think, if and when DASH becomes official, I will need to throw some DASH towards a design contest. Too early now though, as @etoque pointed out. |

2hr candle about to go green... Maybe a reversal here.
People start realizing the potential over there ,this is probably the best news Digital cash could have  I think we've got an electroshock on last dump,nobody have really dump under 0.01 Catapult time   Mass adoption  Please RT for the haters...  |

BS. Still over 2300, Try harder, but you now lost all credibility.
You're fast becoming the Captain of the outer Wall's main defence battalion   I don't have time to hang out here most of the time, but I like to get my troll shots in where I can! |

DASH Masternode numbers dropping, down to 2059 already. Looks like coinage moving to markets.
DarkcoinBot> kaene: 2059 active masternodes (source:drkmn|12s) @ 0.01047851 DRK/BTC (source:cryptsy|24s) = 21575.25 BTC / 6256823.11 USD in stake (source:btc-e|5m35s)
BS. Still over 2300, Try harder, but you now lost all credibility. |

One similar case to ours is OpenBazaar. The software was released at a Toronto hackathlon by Amir Taaki and a few others. It was called DarkMarket. One developer, Brian Hoffman, soon renamed it (he also forked from the original, but there was no development on the DarkMarket repository, so it is effectively a rebranding exercise). He's said many times he did that to avoid the negative press. Very shortly he got a lot attention and people contributing. Most of those people probably would have not showed up if he had kept the old name. Please consider too the positive aspect of being able to recruit among people who were not comfortable being associated with dark.
In our case, we have lost Vertoe along the way and pissed off a few people I respect, which I deeply lament. But this has happened mostly because we did the discussion process wrong, not because changing the name is a bad idea.
i had some time to cool off after that little bomb went off yesterday and i admit that some good points were given for a rebranding, which means i changed my view about rebranding from rather against it to pretty much torn about it (to be honest i think i will always feel conflicted about this topic). And yes, i do agree about the discussion process being wrong which both hurt and upset a lot of people in both here and in the dev team but whats done is done, lets not allow ourself to get divided about this as a community. Instead let us look forward and find out what awaits us, according otoh's cards a grand adventure awaits us qwizzie Great! Good to see you're not about to jump ship. Would hate to lose you. |

It seems that sober second thought appears to be kicking in around the community. oblox, Minotaur, and my own attempts to explain our thinking as to why this name change is a good thing seems to be making an impact.
Guys, let's face it, this is a huge change for a lot of people. They were attracted to this coin because of the tech, and they thought that Darkcoin name represented it perfectly. And they were right.
But then something changed. Evan realized that he could make this coin something better, something more than just a "Dark" coin. InstantX was born, and like he said in the Rebranding thread, he has now found a way to scale this technology, which has always been a problem.
We are now so much more than Darkcoin. I think people are starting to realize that.
My PMs have been going of the hook this morning with potential investors, this will be so much easier to market. And don't forget, nothing is changing with the underlying technology.
We have so much more to do, lets not dwell on this for too long. DASH is Digital Cash.

Huge respect to crowning and snogcel for their latest git pull request... I think they must have borrowed Thor's hammer to beat that one into the QT client. It's absolutely beautiful! Great work crowning & snogcel. For anyone wondering what we're talking about: https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/pull/234Thanks!!! Glad to hear you guys like it :-) Wow, this moment is finally almost here? So happy, congrats to you and crowning. |

I wanted to test the new '60 times faster' bitcoin 0.10.0 wallet against Darkcoins update times, I have created a dimensionless ratio of the amount of seconds of actual 'real time' it takes to update each hour behind of the wallet measured in (seconds)/(hour of update time behind). [kind of like a 'Q' factor to measure quality in physics] And my weekend benchmark results are averaging out nicely Connection speed 100 megabits/second. Machine 1 : SSD (500 megabytes/s up+down, SATA 3) 4.4 gigahertz i7 4820k, windows 7 64 bit. Machine 2 : HDD (3 gigabits, SATA 2), 2.4 gigahertz Intel Duo E4600, Windows 7 64 bit. Machine 1,SSD: Darkcoin (0.11.1.25) Best update ratio = 1.346 seconds per hour of update Machine 1,SSD: Bitcoin (0.10.0) = Best update ratio = 3.304 seconds per hour of update Darkcoin is 2.4 times quicker than bitcoinMachine 2,HDD : Darkcoin (0.11.1.25) = Best update ratio = 3.817 seconds per hour of update Machine 2,HDD : Bitcoin (0.10.0) = best update ratio = 26.14 seconds per hour of update Darkcoin is 6.9 times quicker than bitcoin on traditional 3 gig sata hard drives of average cpu spec.Observations:The cpu of the HDD machine maxs out at 100% with bitcoin, indexing goes very slow especially on the first run from cold start and gives spurious update times (Darkcoin is totally stable at 40% CPU) Darkcoin update times were statistically closer together and more stable especially on the HDD. Conclusions:a) Fast modern machines and solid state drives work well with the bitcoin faster hop times but older machines do not like it at all, and use too many resources bottle necking the data transfer. b) Bitcoin blockchain length is too large for older,slower machines (still most of the world, as not everyone's 'old' machine is a 2012 iMac like Gavin Andresens!) So does Darkcoin now hold the world coin record for update times? The excellent Dev's have nearly broken the 1 second per hour of update barrier Ironically Mr Andresen is campaigning to have a larger blockchain! “The old code would spend about 600ms CPU time per hop propagating blocks with already-seen transactions, this new code will spend under 10ms.” --Gavin Andresen-- Great stuff! https://twitter.com/TaoOfSatoshi/status/574666795510067200?s=09 |

14. Visit a brilliant cryptographic developer No trip to Arizona is complete without a stop to see Evan Duffield, the wonderchild of crypto. He is the creator of Darkcoin, and several innovations such as Darksend and InstantX. If you're successful getting him away from coding on the computer, have him regale you with stories of his epic battles with hapless trolls on BCT. |
