I like this, I'm going to use it!

What the holy funk just happened?

True however the content is far from being a decent sales pitch for the coin - we can agree on that one

Fixed it for you

The end obviously. That's why everyone is excited for Monday's release.

Totally agree. The new site is quite poor in terms of design, layout and presentation. This site undersells our technology.  Even the old site was better. I'm a bit disappointed. We need some pros to build a site for us.

The site's new design is nice IMO.

I'm not affected by the Mintpal problems but its a bit shabby that they haven't tweeted an update for 24+ hours.

The people with coins in wallets must be very worried about the lack of contact.  

It almost makes me want to join twitter and express my mild annoyance at the situation.

I have been studying crypto related companies, and how to close the circle so I can get businesses in my city to accept Darkcoin and people to use it.  I have many ideas like private parking in some crowded areas of the city that would only take Darkcoin or grocery stores that could take coin, atms, etc. It became clear that we are still missing a few elements, and we are going to need distributors/companies that push the solutions in each market with a traditional sales approach.

We need:

1. Easy access to the coins through atms or agreements with local banks so you could get coins through online banking in the same way you get mobile phone credit. It must be easy and fast.
2. Point of sale equipment that looks similar to credit card payment terminals and a crypto debit card you could carry in your wallet similar to what coinkite has, but this would still need local distribution and support.
3. An online wallet, that folks that are not going to keep their own wallet in their computers can use just like online banking.
4. Android and iPhone wallets
5. Pushing adoption and giving support to local businesses that accept crypto.


As you can see, we are still missing some elements in Darkcoin so that this can be practical and used on a daily basis by people around the world. I am eventually going to launch a company like this in my region, it would be cool if we could do a global company and the share holders can push in their own markets. Why wait for someone else to do it?

Whats wrong with the price why the hell is it not going up  this makes me sick ........

We're really happy with the new site. Thanks to Raze, Vertoe, Walter, Minotaur, Matt, Fernando and Flare for making it happen! This new site can have content added on the fly, so we should be able to grow it and add videos like that easily.

Press Release Update.

Hello, Guys, just wanted to let you know that our press release for Open Source, will go out on Tuesday @ 3:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (US). This is based on recommendations from the news agency to raise the chances that our article is picked up by more publications. On Monday there is the backlog of all releases sent during the weekend and you compete with more people for an audience. It is also sent at 3 am so that journalists find it early when they get to their office. This is their experience so we are following the recommendations.


With regards to price expectations, I think we need to be reasonable, Darkcoin is moving beyond the speculative phase,  short term the price can move north or south based on the market forces, but our safest bet is to work hard to promote Darkcoin adoption by businesses and investors now that it will be open source. Dont get me wrong the price may jump as people are able to verify the code for themselves and recognize something special, but I dont think we should put the future of our investment in the hands of third parties. We have a great community so lets do a concerted effort to reach out and make Darkcoin a success, the product is of good quality we just need to get out and sell it.

I also think we should focus our promotion efforts outside of the crypto forums, lets promote Darkcoin outside on the real world.

I was also thinking of a decentralised chat roulette sexy cam thing....with some level of feedback that could be relied upon so you don't get crap.
