He's been doing all the changes to the instantx branch, but that doesn't mean instantx is ready. Testing went on hold (disabled instantx) to improve DS.

<<Everything is looking REALLY good, I think we're ready to launch. I'm just waiting to make sure mixing shuts down when it's done>> Evan on testnet.
Is this "just" about darksend got fixed or launch istantx too?

JPY holding on by its fingernails from falling through critical resistance @120.

What does this mean for DRK ?

.....Abenomics desperate to shore up their finances --> print money to buy bonds to borrow money to pay debt from printing money to buy bonds to.....

USD-JPY carry trade is pumping US stocks & bonds since the Japanese picked up from where the fed left off within 24 hours - which was part of the central banks plan all along. As a result of all this:

Dollar is stronger --> forcing commodity prices down including....** oil !! **. Russia gets screwed and there's a run on the Rouble, so start printing Rouble money to buy bonds to pay debt from printing money to.....

China looks on and doesn't like what it sees because the lack of growth in foreign markets (due to excess debt from excess money printing to fill the derivatives collapse hole) is causing its markets to slump. So double whammy for them: [1] - fewer foreign customers due to crap western growth [2] - everyone else is devaluing and stealing their export markets. So they say "F*CK IT !! What's the point in us politely holding back on dumping our US bond holdings...the only reason we were doing it in the first place was to have someone to sell to". "We're just going to call your f*ckers bluff and start dumping our gold on western markets at twice the price and lets see if you clowns don't default on the scramble for deliveries - in fact no need to wait & see cos you've none left as it is - we've got it all".

Then the ECB - having already thrown in the towel on corporate bonds look on in mild satisfaction, finally having been given the cover they so sought after to go for the jugular on French and Mediterranean sovereign debt. "F*CK it !!" "Everyone else is devaluing, we're gonna be screwed if we don't too" says Mr Draghi (in italian) .

And off they go to join the race to the bottom while commodities, metals, oil and the top 10 cryptos pick up the pieces form the ensuing debris. http://coinmarketcap.com can't get a big enough server to stop crashing from the clamour of refugees trying to find a seat in their overlevered financial storm as the music grinds to a screeching halt.

******** Check number 1 on this list. Who has madly, frantically, panicly been hoovering all known sources of Gold for the last 4 years including mining supply ? What happens to precious metal prices in a bond market meltdown ?

******** Check number 2 on this list. Who might not be in too great shape in the event of a US bond market cave in ? Who might want to help the Fed out with a bit of remotely applied explosive QE funnelled through some trans-pacific carry trade plumbing ?


****************************************************************************************************************
* Conclusion: Who gives a toss about DRK price right now. Just keep it in the top 10 and preferably the top 5 mined coins and everything will be *ok !

I have to say, that given my extremely low levels of comprehension with all things DOS, coding and a fair few finer technical points on what makes dark successful, I rely on the words and opinions of the others that make up the sphere of interest and development to help me decide a lot of what makes dark what it says it is.  I've seen many things fail in my time, for many different reasons.  Two things that find themselves on the separate sides of success and failure are blame and innovation.  I'd go as far as to say that my words are far short, the mark, of deserved praise for what dark has come to be able to do [technically] because I don't know exactly what I'm on about...

However - and this is the point - I don't have to know, completely, what i'm on about because the collective of individuals circled on this project is outstanding.  I see an attitude that crushes problems, awaiting the next.  An irony for the whole of crypto and of course business and life is that the point is to remove problems by developing better ways to operate, this is the journey and the fun (if you're that way inclined).  That's why I think that when something comes along to get in the way of this system [DRK], it is purpose built to deal with it from the inside-out... by it's very definition.

It's almost as if detracting sings of a naturally bumpy path on which the journey's original purpose was in the first place, redesigning financial instruments for use beyond the transition between the old trust paradigm and the new.

I'm guessing if Mr.666 had any real bullets to fire he'd have stood more chance at financial gain from collaborating - as stated by Evan in his reply - (too much work perhaps?).  So, either Satan missed the point leaving him with a misdirected valuation of his potential or drk encountered an issue and moved forward another step; same thing - misdirection excluded.

Best of luck to Evan and the rest of the team this weekend

I admire your efforts and enthusiasm but I do not think you should have Evan's name placed in the "POH is granted..." -- while I get the idea, it may be seen as misleading and, worse, presumptuous.

Evan is all but presumptuous so I think even such a tiny detail matters. Just my 2 cents. Take them or shrug them off at your own will.

We don't even know if iraniandude is for real or not.  For all we know it was FUD.  This tweet however removes all doubt and gives the idiot publicity.

Edit Oh and #darklove.... really??  You couldn't come up with a hashtag that doesn't invoke the image of sex/race?  When will we get some real marketing expertise in here?

Yes, it's time to show the world what the Darkness is about, once again!

I don't know of a developer who is more deserving...
