Looks like VTC is following DRK up now.. The anti ASIC alliance getting stronger...
Yeah it very well is, but i must say, that ASIC's are inevitable for any POW coin, as much as i hate them, i think in the end its the only way to go, because the energy consumption is crazy and look at the difficulty for darkcoin now i only get about 1 DRK a day max now, even if the price of them went, up, so does the hashrate and makes them even harder to mine.

Dogecoin serves its purpose for what it is, but will never reach $1, 1c perhaps, but highly unlikley. Good coin for beginners, good community for learning about mining etc, but seriously once you have mined them, exchange them for something that is a serious currency with a purpose, like NXT, Darkcoin, Megacoin etc. there is less than a year of mining with doge before the 100 billion are mined and then its another 5 billion each year after that!

Thanks for picking up the errors, fellas. These images are great too. I picked one for the home page that seems fitting in implying anonymity. I think it's looking pretty sweet: http://darkcoinsample.hostoi.com/sorry - but that light blue in the top bar just does NOT work !!!! (why don't you stick to the grey you used before and expand the font a bit ?) - your picture (word map) in the first edit was so much better (as we are all global) - FIRST is way too big and looks like a title why don't use DARKCOIN the first anonymous digital currency This is totally loosing the nice darkness and mystery (what DRK needs) …..>> I really think the logo should have stayed black, the whole blue thing doesnt look very "dark" to me.

I think, with the features of Nxt being released, the price will rise gradually for a few days, then many people will suddenly realize that the price just keeps rising and flood in, the price then jumps.
It's hard to predict short period evolution of the price, but for the long term, the price of Nxt is definitely going to rise a lot.
yeah well NXT is at its lowest so i want to sell my mining rig and buy some!

I think Dogecoin has done a lot of good as far as a community goes and introducing people to cryptocurrencys like it did to me. But I dont think it will ever be a successful coin as far as its design or professionalism goes etc, it will always be around, but probably just as a tipping currency, charity etc. I dont see it getting any higher than 1 cent, but i think its safe to say that its here to stay! Ive sold all the doge i had and will invest it in other currencies such as NXT, blackcoin, darkcoin, megacoin etc, these coins do have the prospect of reaching $1 or more, and darkcoin already has done so.
So i wouldnt go as far to say that dogecoin is bad, but it serves its purpose for what it was designed, and thats good for cryptocurrency as a whole, but dont expect to get rich from it, obviously you want to look at something that has alot of work gone into it. Lots of coins do have a professional approach, but most are rebranded litecoin/bitcoin clones with no real design.
Im looking at coins where the developers have thought outside the square and redesigned things from the ground up, thats why NXT is so appealing to me even if people are complaining about the distribution.

Im quite confident about NXT, but at the same time im looking at all the other altcoins rising like megacoin, digitalcoin, blackcoin and darkcoin, ultracoin, etc. Should i be buying 1000 darkcoin and start a masternode or buy NXT instead? So many bloody coins and i want one that will be successful and not a waste of time i think NXT is for the longhaul, but darkcoin potentially could reach $20 I like to spread the risk so i guess thats why im looking at other coins.

Are there any ways to buy BTC with USD quickly?
Coinbase makes you wait 5 days. Any options to create an account today and be owning BTC immediately or tomorrow? Anyone care to send me several BTC and I send you paypal?
I think local bitcoins.com is the best place to look at. Im thinking of using it myself, i need some DRK!

Hey everyone im new to this coin, Ive just exchanged all my mintcoins for megacoin. Anyway, will this coin reach the prices that blackcoin or darkcoin has?

Im wanting to create a master node, i have experience in linux and work in IT, so should be pretty straightforward. What i want to know is how many DRK do i expect per day with a master node at present? From what i understand, the more masternodes that are running, the smaller the payout?

My friend deposited 1K of mintcoin into cryptsy and it never showed up there. After making an enquiry to cryptsy their reply was "the transaction ID does not show in either our wallet or the block explorer. You will need to investigate the source of the transaction and ensure it was sent to the correct chain"
What on earth does this mean? How can the coins vanish nowhere, when it was sent to the address that they provided?

Wouldnt banks naturally trade with BTC if it becomes a valuable currency? You cant gain interest with BTC either unless you consider its inflation as interest! lol

Nope, they don't need to communicate. The masternode with the money just needs to sign a message with it. That node broadcasts it to the whole network. After than the secondary masternode is good to go.
Could you disconnect the masternode with the money from the network and even send it to cold storage once the secondary masternode is in the network? that's the whole point of it Yeah, I basically wanted an official confirmation Nope, both need to be online. At least for now. I'm still not understanding the need for the 1000DRK if it isn't getting mixed. Nothing more than a PoS? It's there as a deterrent. If anyone could put up as many masternodes as they like, then someone could simply put up more than 50% of them, and then they'd be in position to record what is going on, and thereby see where coins are going from where. With the cost of masternodes, it is expensive to build more than 50% of the network, and as the price of darkcoin goes up, it becomes ridiculously expensive. We only need so many masternodes to secure the decentralized network, after that, more masternodes are a drag on the system, so we hope for a balance. So yes, it's effectively a type of POS while also providing work. Kind of a Proof of Stake and Proof of Service rolled together... Better than a pure Proof of Stake, which really serves no purpose at all... It makes Proof of Stake into something more, which actually has a use. You guys are fucking geniuses. Ah, The elegance of tying so many things together... PoS payout for providing a service to the network, also limits masternodes, creates a coin with PoS and PoW (PoS that actually requires that you do something for the network, not just hold the stuff) in it, while facilitating the anonymity function, and we're right back to the beginning of the loop... Beautiful. It's the kind of paradoxical working ruleset that makes all cryptos function, but this is the only CryptoCoin that has this one. Could also be extensible to shortchaining so clients don't need the whole blockchain, and masternodes can be used as blockchain repositories... Centralized without being centralized, and those who run the masternode get paid for providing that service proportional to the job just like the darksend they already do... Fucking perfect. Im also aware that NXT has anonymous transactions in the pipeline and as far as im aware, it uses a similar coin mixing technology like DRK.

Im killing myself i never mined this at the beginning, how many coins per MH/day would i have got last month?
It was actually pretty unprofitable to mine at the time. about .65 coins/mhash/day last couple months At the time it was a lot more profitable to mine scrypt and sell for DRK, unless your electricity was super expensive. lol so im actually mining more coins now? Im getting about 1 per MH, although it appears to be dropping.

Will there ever be a dump after this?
im expecting so, it did with blackcoin currently, this is all off the back of RC1. 1. RC2 due out. 2. Then final release. 3. Then open source. Thats three steps to heaven right there. +1 As proven before people don't sell Darks lightly... this is so much more than just a trade type coins. You also have incentive to keep 1000 drk for each masternode and earn fees. Beside, it's just x2 rise to what is was in past, appreciation of value and future roadmap, serious pump would take it easily 20-30x. how many people do you think hold 1000DRK? A lot, the coin is very well distributed. 30 masternode so far, I expect 100+ shortly after RC2 is release, it's just too good opportunity to pass. Beside, why would anyone except traders sell coin which can easily go to $50-100 this year, market for anynomous coin is huge, people value privacy. it sounds like you wont get much payout with a masternode if there's lots of them, they are talking 3 years to make 1000 DRK

I have about 100K doge, should i trade it all for DRK?
The DRK price has risen very fast obviously so usually not the time to buy. but long term yes, obviously because it has real world features that people want where as doge is just a fad. In this case if i didn't have any DRK and I only had DOGE i would be moving over here asap, just try and catch the dips with a lot of orders and don't worry too much about short term price as its a long term investment that can go a lot higher than the current price. Im thinking of exchanging all my coins for DRK, i have 100K of mintcoin and 40K of digibyte that i dont think is going anywhere fast. I may wait for the prices to settle down first though. I wish i could get a masternode running, i just dont have enough DRK. I wouldn't put all my btc in any one coin. that being said i wouldnt hold any mintcoin or digibyte either and DRK is an unusual one as its totally unique out of all the coins so maybe up to 25% of portfolio in DRK wouldn't be a bad idea. i'm not up to date on masternodes what does 1000 drk get you then? A master node requires you to keep 1000DRK in its wallet, from what i understand, its needs to hold a certian amount of coins in order to be used for the coin mixing etc. i feel like putting most of my investment in NXT as i see this being more stable in the long term, but Darkcoin, blackcoin and possibly megacoin are here to stay what is the payout if you have 1000 drk in a masternode then? This explains it better here. https://darkcointalk.org/threads/darkcoin-update-masternode-requirements-masternode-payments.225/
