Hard to believe, I think we'd know for sure by now if it was a three letter government agency that created Bitcoin. Pretty sure it's tinfoil. Here's an old discussion on that alleged PRNG backdoor. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=288545.0

Oh my... I hadn't realised how badly the coins that shall not be named are doing...
Apparently they have a plan B, and have already pre-ordered new hardware to coincide with the open-sourcing of DarkSend+. This keyboard.

question about testing the windows RC4 wallet 10.12.14 on testnet :
When i'm testing it on 1000 Darkcoins from the test faucet i always end up with an Anonymized amount of 999.00000023 instead of 999.998 (-0.002 for the fees of using the standard 2 rounds of Anonymizing).
Have more ppl testing RC4 on testnet seen this?
Best to ask here. Include as much detail as you can, and if it is a bug it'll hopefully be fixed by tomorrow.

…and a suggestion. What would you think of us adopting a thread etiquette whereby if you really can’t resist responding to trolls, you paint your post. Paint the entire post green (for responses to trolls) or brown (for responses to shitcoin pumpers). That way, readers can scroll straight past the crap without having to ignore generally good people who generally write good posts but couldn’t resist swallowing bait if it had a “Nuclear Waste” sign on it and was crawling with furious Tasmanian arachnowasps.
Thoughts?

Hi again! Glad to see all is still well. The fundamentals are still awesome, the RC4 testing is going well, and it's good to see the thread keeping the faith during the temporary ADD-fuelled price dip. Having said that... after reading the last 100 pages it is my honour and privilege to present you with the 2014 World Championship Troll-Feeding trophy.

A big red flag people seem to have missed from Mintpal's announcement. Even though they admit their fault... Investigation has shown that due to an error on our part users who had not refreshed the page since the market was suspended were still able to enter orders successfully. We did have COLD storage setup for VRC, however in this instance, due to an error for which only we can be accountable, we had transferred far fewer coins than was required, resulting in a large proportion of coins being left in the HOT wallet. ...they still basically say that if Vericoin hadn't agreed to the rollback, then rather than eating the loss themselves they'd have passed it to holders of Vericoin on their exchange. The VeriCoin that you hold on the MintPal exchange will be unaffected thanks to the VeriCoin developers. As we previously announced, the VRC developers have worked tirelessly to perform something never before done by a cryptocurrency and rollback the blockchain in order to reverse the two malicious transactions. This was not done out of a desire to save MintPal, but rather a desire to save your coins.

The main problem with this is that BTC would then no longer be fungible.

Please repost ! (as long as it takes) ….>>
[picture of man pointing gun]
Please don't! It’s doubtful that the Tuareg in the image is what Shojayxt claims, I suspect he’s just making dodgy assumptions. Even so, posting this was dumb, because it’s a gift to our defamers. Professional manipulators like darkota have already been banging on over and over again in the alt threads that DRK can never go mainstream because they say the name will associate us with darkweb, drugs, criminals & terrorists. Shojayxt is now posting in the DRKFUD threads that we’re threatening pool operators with pictures of terrorists, and other trolls will probably follow. People reaching out to pools, please be nice. If you feel you cannot represent Darkcoin in proper light, then take a step back and ask for others to do it.
^^^This!

Bumpity-bump OP updated with yesterday's info, working on the rest now. Edit: I also fixed the errors in the flow charts, so if you guys could bump those instead of the incorrect ones that'd be great. Arithmetic was getting the better of us yesterday. Thanks.

You're missing the point here imho. If it says late July, spread late July. If it says July 31st, spread July 31st. +1. If it's released on the 24th, we don't want people being a week late because "you guys said the 31st".

Could you please not post this quite so often? Multiple times a day is just spammy.

Ghash.io says they should have a wallet up by the end of the week for those mining DRK there so we can finally withdraw.
On that note, I wonder how much DRK is piled up there that hasn't been withdrawn since their DRK pool started. lol
Did this happen? If so, the recent fall could have been a temporary drop due to Ghash.io miners selling a backlog of DRK.

Explain this to me: Why is it that the market doesn't trust Monero if it has so solid fundamentals? Why is it that 100% instamined PoW/PoS hybrids appear out of nowhere, and just by being based on the Bitcoin codebase are able to out-perform the marketcap of Monero in a few days or weeks? This shouldn't even be possible.
4 Darkcoin $ 34,537,954 $ 7.78 4,439,477 DRK 11 Bytecoin (BCN) $ 8,974,931 $ 0.000057 156,920,284,106 BCN 13 VeriCoin $ 7,597,613 $ 0.283679 26,782,417 VRC 15 XC $ 6,451,500 $ 1.17 5,515,507 XC 17 Monero $ 5,080,622 $ 2.72 1,867,647 XMR
It is more helpful to compare the marketcaps with the total # of coins, which puts for example XMR in the $50M range, far above BCN. Is there a list showing inflation, as in new coins per day times BTC value per coin?

Is there a recent (since the various change of plans) source for July 14th or are you counting down to a RC4 deadline you essentially made up?
