Oh yeah!! Dark is becoming so bad-ass, there is active "incentive" to try and take it down any way possible!!    I for one am loving it. Despite it sucks for those who have to deal with the issue (mucho respecto guys!)... I LOVE that this is happening!

 It clearly is a concerted attack to try to subvert our efforts. Again, what better compliment can one have?

 Regarding the BTC vs DRK render by Raptor, IMHO, the fragmentation render from Raptor, unless the headline is absolutely kick-ass, or the graphical representation does not promote an "advantage" to DRK.

For example;

 In the BTC render, if each fragment is represented by, for example, a totally random little pieces of coins of various sizes.... and DRK's fragments are totally equal is shape despite their size... it would be easy to graphically represent how DRK is much more anonymous than BTC, plus graphically represent the nature of denominations itself!!

Each BTC fragment is identifiable
Each DRK fragment is exactly the same and indistinguishable from another, despite the size and shape.

ok thanks for feedback, will try a better transition and little less darcoin to show a transfer from btc to drk.
needs one hour to finish, see you

i need a nice slogan for this one,
old/ future
change
mixing


DON'T RELY ON IMITATORS,  CHOOSE DARKCOIN!

Can we please be clear that some Darkcoin supporters are over on that thread keeping up with their developments because anything they do better than us we can adopt into our code.  Its also fascinating to see how no pools is going to work out for them.  There has also been a concerted testing of the water throughout to gauge what their USP is.  Its very interesting to see what will become of the first proper clone of Darkcoin.

As for bad mouthing DRK, I haven't seen any of that yet and tbh if there is some of that going on and you don't like it then its easy enough to ignore users if you want to read the SPR thread.

This is big news for DRK.

The other news worth keeping an eye on is the USA showing signs of allowing sports betting online. Would be interested to see how the special interest groups (mainly casino operators) in the usa will be appeased.

A New Darkcoin Charity

I have the great pleasure of announcing the creation of a new charity: The Rava World Conservation.

I would like to thank the Darkcoin development team for making this possible by creating such a wonderful coin. I would also like to thank the people involved in areas other than core development. I see their true passion and commitment every day.

The Rava World Conservation will operate Darkcoin masternodes. The charity will assign and distribute proceeds of these nodes to every child that is born.

Y nodes will assign Darkcoin (DRK) to each child. This coin will then be placed into X nodes which serve to increase the original allocated amount over time, ensuring that each person will have a reliable and sustainable source of Darkcoin to use during the course of their life.

Z nodes will serve to protect the habitats we live in as well as the life that shares them with us.

One day every single person on Earth will own Darkcoin, that is simple math.

The white paper can be found in the details section of the website. Individual percentages are variable to allow for increased allocation to specific growth areas (classes of nodes) if this is ever deemed necessary for sustainable development.

Please let me know if you find any mistakes and I will strive to correct them promptly. If you have any questions you can email me at raphael@ravawc.org or send a letter to my attention at the charity mailing address. We welcome your support and it will be a pleasure to answer you in kind.

Thank you to all who have made this possible. I would also like to send a special thanks to the private member from the Darkcoin community who helped with the website. Sometimes the silent heroes make as great a mark as those who howl.

Let there be Darkcoin!

edit: shit already 2901 page hope mod will delete some post hehe very probable.

Anonymous and untraceable transactions are already being implemented by Bitcoin (like Coin Scrambler). So, are there any reason to still invest in Darkcoin? Why shouldn't I sell all my Darkcoins for Bitcoins now?

Ok, wondering what the 'official' method for reporting software errors?  Do we post them on Github?  I have found 3 errors, 2 client and 1 masternode.

Happy New Year to all!  Be enveloped by the Darkness.
