I just think Snoop is a good fit.
He's interested in technology, he feels strongly about privacy, he invests in technology companies and startups, he is knowledgeable of communities with limited access to banking facilities...
Ok then Snoop it is should we get Tao on a little Twitter attack or how do we reach home boy !?! The Darkcoin Chameleon at your service! I gave it a shot: https://twitter.com/taoofsatoshi/status/543232353141657600Surprisingly, I haven't heard back from him yet...  |

Damn good efforts. Your account still drives me crazy with #Room and #other #crazy #hashtags  but your energy and enthusiasm is contagious so you are, dear Sire, indeed the great Darkcoin advocate. Thank you for your hard work. This tweet https://twitter.com/TaoOfSatoshi/status/542725529661882368 reminded me of a little trick you should use VERY SPARINGLY!! Direct tweet to someone is seen by all their followers. In this case #BradPitt is better than just Brad Pitt (it ranks higher in Twitter search) because Brad Pitt does not have Twitter account but, say, Adam Lambert does. So he or whomever, I have no clue about that world, has a new concert / CD or whatever and you tweet to them, Hey @adamlambert did you think of selling "x" or "y" for #Darkcoin? With over 2M followers... Granted, Occupy Wall Street would be better a choice than that guy, so @OccupyWallSt or / and @OccupyWallStNYC and all other places where they are active would be great "targets" when something is happening. (or in any day) All these guys are being monitored by the whole spying complex so it would be natural for them to use an anonymous coin / e-Cash to support their efforts. Same in China or some other even more oppressed country than the United States. There are people that need help but other people are afraid to provide them with it. (think Wikileaks - Bitcoin basically saved them but now when it is apparent Bitcoin does not have real anonymity, on the contrary, Darkcoin would be a much better choice, and the people DO FEAR helping them for they do not want to get on all sorts of lists) So, with your 1,000 followers milestone, you could get even more creative and look for partners. DarkTor? DarkWiki? Setting up this or that, @expert in field (think Jacob Appelbaum) could you help. And your small tweets would be giant leaps toward Darkcoin's recognition Thank you for your kind words! I guess the hatchet is buried from yesterday, eh? I will look into implementing your advice in the near future. |

I can't watch a single episode of Bitcoin Rush because the guy is annoying as fuck, else I would. My ears bleed just thinking about his voice and enthusiasm.
Same here. His videos only ever get a few hundred views anyway, and I bet this has something to do with it. He is an up and comer, on the rise. He is to MadBitcoins as DRK is to BTC. You should understand! He is entertaining, and I personally love his enthusiasm! |

Just saw a really interesting statistic, a lot of the masternodes are now with VULTR. Before TAO wrote his guide Digital Ocean were the 2nd largest provider next to Amazon.
I'm wondering if TAO's guide has anything to do with it?
If it does have something to do with it, there's hard evidence that we need to be a lot more helpful to new business coming into crypto in general.
TAO, Tante2 and whomever else is taking the time to write helpful articles for the general public to become more familiar with Darkcoin, you are just as important as the developers, keep up the outstanding work...
I can say that the only reason I finally made a MasterNode was because of Tao's super newbie proof guide. Guy's a saint. I'm happy I could get you to help #BuildTheDarkness! Thanks for the kind words... |

Thanks, Ignition! I don't do all that I do for recognition, but it IS nice to be acknowledged for my efforts from time to time. My guide has helped a lot of people, and I have brought countless others into the Dark through the Twitter Initiative! I believe in educating people about Dark in a fun way, so it is not so intimidating for newcomers. Some people here can be quite condescending, and that is not the way we should be to attract people to our amazing coin. There are a lot of people who may not be so technically inclined, like myself, but these people see the value in DRK just the same. We need to be nice to them, and avoid name-calling if they don't understand something right away. That's counter-productive. Have a great day, Tao |

Total Masternodes: 1358 = 1358 actives + 0 inactives (Last refresh: Tue Dec 09 2014 19:12:37)
Estimated daily payout for an active node (blocks with MN payments last 24h: 100%): 0.58 DRK/day (Last Refreshed: Tue Dec 09 2014 19:12:42)
OMG what is going on? Are the top 10 wallets moving funds to masternodes?
I follow various Darkcoin related statistics data for my fun and this is the ONLY one I do not like. (aside the price that I don't get why is still as low as $2.25 or something). I raised the question, of coins being locked in the Masternode, wondering (hypothetically) what would happen if ALL the coins are locked out? Many a member told me it is too early to worry about it, and that pure economics would not allow any problems with it but I wonder / worry about LIQUIDITY! Again, hypothetically, if only us - Darkcoin supporters - would buy the coins and at the end have ALL of them locked in MN, the value of one DRK could be a one million dollars for all I care, but who would buy the coin for a million? No one, I guarantee you. So, I might sell that one coin for a $1.00 (one dollar) in order to find a greedy buyer outside the community. And voila!, all the coins just lost 99.999999% of their value. I don't buy an argument that scarcity would increase the price for the price itself is NOT, could NOT and SHOULD not be the only consideration. I am currently at 28% loss with my Darkcoin investment. But I've also made 350% - in the last 30 days - on shorting Russian ruble on FOREX. (I'm sorry, our Russian friends, I hate to see how the Financial Crime Cartel is destroying your economy, but I could not let free money go away) So, if I cared ONLY about the price / profit, I'd convert all my coins into a more profitable investment (at least on the short run) and forget about freedom, privacy, anonymity, cheap remittance of currency that is currently at 12% for fiat garbage, according to the World Bank (a $540 Billion market) and all sort of incredible benefits e-Cash (Darkcoin) could provide to the people all over the world. But if this cash sits in my MN or in my wallet and does nothing else but provide me, and only me, with a coin or two "reward", and the Network with some security, damn... something indeed might be wrong. Ponder this: as of today, 27.57% of ALL Darkcoins in circulation are already locked in Masternodes. On November 12th, less than a month ago, that percentage was 24.57% so the # of locked in coins outpaces the overall coins supply quite rapidly. [3% or for 40% on an annual basis] With the price as it is and the pace of MN growth we could see 50% off ALL coins being locked in Masternodes in less than six, perhaps four months. This simply CAN'T be good! I defy anyone to explain me how the currency out the circulation is going to be beneficial for our future users? It's a digital coin being able to be split into decimals. Each "whole" coin has 10,000,000 units and there will certainly be more than just 1 coin worth in circulation. That's plenty of liquidity. If you only look at it from the viewpoint of whole coins, then sure, there is a problem, but it's a non issue in something that could be split out even more decimals. It IS economics: supply and demand. As reward for masternodes increase, demand for masternodes increase. As the price per coin increases, some existing holders will sell some of their stash until an equilibrium is formed. correction :100,000,000 duffs = 1 DRK |

Further reiterates that there would be plenty of liquidity. This argument is probably one of the stupidest ones I have seen on here thus far. And is it also possible, although highly unlikely to be needed, of adding more decimal places in the future? |

If you knew me, you would know I meant no disrespect. We are all Darkcoiners, I was just having fun with wordplay...if it upsets you, I offer to delete my post.

This simply CAN'T be good! I defy anyone to explain to me how the currency out the circulation is going to be beneficial for our future users? Without master nodes you don't get anonymity or instant transactions. You might as well use dogecoin. next question....this time, make it harder so we need to break a sweat. No, no, kindly do not go ad hominem just as easy as that. As a member of Darkcoin Foundation, Darkcoin investor, MN owner and the author of the 1st draft " DARKCON: A Private E-Cash Manifesto" ( https://darkcointalk.org/threads/darkcoin-private-e-cash-manifesto.2460/#post-22058) I don't need to be dismissed with a dogecoin remark just like that. I get the Masternodes value but all my points still stay. I do believe the issue I raised is a potentially serious problem and would like someone to help me understand why it is not. (the problem) Freudian slip, that! |

Is the Darkcoin web wallet http://darkcoin-e.com/ a scam ? One of our employees deposited 1 DRK to test it but was unable to withdraw. It's stuck on "processing" for several days and no replies to e-mails. It's high on Google search, right after the official wallet. Yes it is a scam. I warned people on twitter the second it came out. ( a while ago ) Need a takedown notice against them. Go go DRK foundation. I issued a PSA to my followers, I encourage others to do the same... |

Does Patrick McHardy has got any bct or dct account?
I would like to know this as well, and he has GOT to get a Twitter account!  |

I really like the name Graphite! It looks good, sounds good, would be easy to make a rendering of for promotion, and has an industrious component: Darkcoin Graphite V1 Coins101, we need a poll! Darkcoin Eclipse for InstantX will be seriously cool!  |

Well I have 4 wallets mixing at the very moment.
Which would imply that mine should be mixing with yours? Something seems wrong... I'm after some support. I've scoured the internet and can find nothing. Can't see how this is going to get mainstream adoption if people are struggling to use basic advertised functionality - instructions are hard to find and not exactly easy to understand, messages and debug log are both pretty incomprehensible... and I'm a developer, how is joe public going to use this?! Joe Public will be able to use it after I figure out all of the ways users like yourself are getting stuck Can you send me your debug.log? evan@darkcoin.ioYou will never figure out ALL of the ways users are getting stuck! But I'm sure you'll try.... |
