If any of you folks require ammunition to combat tulip analogies floating around at the moment, I just posted some here. This ought to be put up on TaoOfSaatochi's list of articles. Very well expressed

It is hard to stay focused amidst this sort of price movements, but lets remember that we have a lot of important things coming up soon: - Evan and team are working hard in preparing Darkcoin Core (That's the name we agreed to for v11 right?) for release it seems like we are close to ready, still some bug cleansing going on though.
- We have the Darkcoin first anniversary coming up soon and the special Bitcoin Rush - Darkcoin episode coming out. Should be interesting to watch.
- Once Darkcoin Core is out and stable it will be back to InstantX testing on testnet.
- The promotion efforts continue and we will have some new announcements soon, after the anniversary
In times like this the commitment from Evan the team and the community will set Darkcoin apart. For DRK is really business as usual, development and adoption continue forward. If anything I think this is a great opportunity for DRK, as I believe people will now see the need for a stronger and more dynamic crypto eco-system that does not depend on a single asset. This crash is definitely going to wipe a lot of alts, I think the times to launch silly alts and get investment money are over. Honest and innovative projects like DRK, may look more appealing once the dust settles. BTC has to hit a bottom at some point and it will not be 0, crypto will have to move forward after this crash one way or the other. Which are the coins and development teams that will remain standing and united after this? I am sure DRK will be one of those. DRK will endure. DRK. Business as usual Very eloquently put. You've been Darkcoin Twitter PR'd: https://twitter.com/taoofsatoshi/status/555422698856546304https://twitter.com/taoofsatoshi/status/555423366753312771Cheers, Tao. |

Telegram is great,
i use it every day, run a big chat room on it , am on other with chats 200 people !
(as Telegram has a Mac/PC App too !) you can chose encrypted or now in single chats and over 2 people only unencrypted (which is too bad)
My understanding is that all chats are encrypted but it's also possible to opt for superior end-to-end security with a "Secret Chat" between only two users. Using this method the chats are never stored on the server but are directly from a single device of one user to a single device of another user (sync with multiple devices is not possible). Messages which self destruct (from both devices) are also possible using the secret chat. I'm a big fan of Telegram too, I love the fact that the chat app is open source and that others can use the 100% open API to build applications on the Telegram platform. I'm really looking forward to checking out SendChat's implementation. DRK integration can only be good news for Darkcoin Stay tuned to drkmedium.com for an interview with SendChat's creator by Bill Cassidy and I. Should be posted, soon. Very cool, you are relentless and amazing! I bow to you  TaoOfSaatoshi Thank you guys! I think that Bill's show is a great start in our vision to create a culture around Darkcoin. You will see more from the Get Into The Dark! team in the future including a new website (getintothedark.net) which is currently in development. I'm having a blast doing these things, and I consider it a contribution to my own investment. Now only if we could get BTC off life support so we can stop bleeding value... |

I hope you enjoy the finished product! It's going to be something else...January 18th can't get here fast enough.
I'm sure Bitcoin Rush and georgem disagree, LOL. They're still scrambling to finish production,  They'll be ready... |

The Darkcoin Chameleon and The Darkcoin Twitter PR Initiative aim to please...
I must say you guys are quite awesome in your dedication and output. Masternode guides, Bitcoin Rush, Promo activities & reachouts etc etc. (Only 1 small problem, when I type Bitcoin Rush, google thinks I'm looking for Bitcoin Rush Limbaugh ! ) Major hat tips (and blockchain tips). Thanks, man! I will soon be posting your 101 post to my website. I'm going to make you famous again! |

Thanks! We feel this is the best way to introduce Darkcoin & other cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin) into the mainstream. With SendChat we effectively break down the barriers for the non-techy. great job with the whitepaper and I really like the sendchat idea! thanks for including darkcoin just to clarify (i have not tried it) but what i read and hear you still need a separate app (send chat) to send coins you are not sending your coins through telegram itself ! Telegram is great, i use it every day, run a big chat room on it , am on other with chats 200 people ! (as Telegram has a Mac/PC App too !) you can chose encrypted or now in single chats and over 2 people only unencrypted (which is too bad) Edit: so this headline is a bit wide fetched as you still have to invite (the 50 Mill) to another app to send coins !  SENDCHAT BRINGS DARKCOIN TO 50 MILLION TELEGRAM USERS http://www.cryptoarticles.com/crypto-news/sendchat-brings-darkcoin-to-50-million-telegram-usersIt's bending reality slightly, no biggie, the way to add SendChat is simple, and the potential is there to reach all of those users... |

Wow. This is huge. 50 million registered users ? That's almost the population of the entire UK. How did DRK get into this ? The Darkcoin Chameleon and The Darkcoin Twitter PR Initiative aim to please... |

For those of you who don't know, a group of us have worked really hard on this episode. We had a professionally written script, a great animator, Everyone pitching in, and of course Bitcoin Rush and Evan actually putting it together. You will NOT be disappointed in this special episode of Bitcoin Rush when it comes out on our anniversary January 18th. It's all done with a green screen for special effects which aren't integrated yet, but just wait! It's going to be awesome!
Thank you to John, George, Evan and Bitcoin Rush
And especially thank you to TaoOfSaatoshi!
And of course to everyone who participated, giving their thoughts, ideas, etc... and reading the scripts to give their two cents! Thank you all!
Fantastic work all around! Please donate to Bitcoin Rush to say THANK YOU!disclaimer: I haven't donated yet, LOL, need to get my wallet out... later! Hey Tao, can we get a tip address going? I can do it if ya'all want me to? I think Bitcoin Rush has outdid himself and has worked so hard on this episode, he deserves a nice big fat tip. Only, he takes BTC, not alts, and I don't know about you all, but I only have DRK and I think it might be easier to get tips tipped in DRK?? What do you all think? Also, if any of you can tip Bitcoin Rush, he deserves it Thanks! Address is in the above youtube post 
TOTAL NEEDED FOR BITCOIN RUSH: 180 DRK
TOTAL RAISED SO FAR: 11.18 DRK
NEEDED: 168.82 DRK
PLEASE HELP OUT!DONATION ADDRESSTao |

Today I just recovered about 500 BTC that I had on Stamp, touch wood as I've left them there still in USD for now, the last few days it hasn't been at all sure if I would ever see them again, so I may well do some celebratory DRK buying on it's anniversary  You are a whale.  Nice... Bookmarked. Thanks for sharing! |

Oh well, if you guys are seriously going to do this, Godspeed and I hope it works out for you. I still think it may do more harm than good, but I have been wrong before, and will again.
I will continue my DRK PR in my own way, just passed 1450 followers yesterday!
We are #Darkcoin, even if we don't always agree...

I'm with KryptoFoo, this is not a good idea. Investors reading this thread will not take well to this kind of thing in the community. Please end this planning, now.
This community is highly regarded, and I promote that fact all the time. Don't ruin our reputation, just have patience. DRK will rise organically over time with more merchant and customer adoption...
