You give away 2.5% of exist coins? distribute of coins not good I have about 83,000 SPR left. I'd rather give away 50,000 and have my 33,000 remaining be worth something then to have 83,000 coins not worth selling because they're worth so little. WTF ~83,000 SPR 'Left' - how many did you start with? That's some going. I had around 150,000 at my height. I gave a ton away. |

Market keeps creeping up. A kind of silent creep - 0.001 BTC per day on the valuation. There is buoyancy. Nobody wants to panic buy but there is more buying than selling. Lets take a brief look at Darkcoin's longest range and most stable technical indicator (that I know of !  = my event horizon thanks) - the 1 week DMI which tells us if we're in a bear or bull market. When we zoom out to this level we can see that Darkcoin / BTC is one of the most consistently bullish markets around. The 1-week chart has only been in "bear" mode for any significant time once - a couple of weeks during last August. Bears attempted to capture the 1-week market again during December and January but failed and since mid January the bear market has been dropping away. As I write this, non-otoh bid liquidity is thickening up as patience with waiting for "the crash" starts to run out. There is jostling for position. There is volume *. There is "Fear" **. There is talk (and tok  ). There is FUD. There is development. There is adoption. There is action. © Investopedia: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dmi.asp* last 24 hours greater than traditional high liquidity markets such as dogue. Largest weekly volume peak since June 2014. ** of the market running away, of asks being pulled, of Evan dropping one of his casual posts that IP obfuscation or reference node blah or is imminent or that the devteam or grown or whotnott Last time I'll say it...although there have been new buys recently... price would tumble if not for the massive buy wall. Your TA is appreciated, but please keep this in mind. This is not correct. Coins that have the liquidity of Darkcoin require large buyers or sellers to come in to make large price movements. If I was a large seller and there was bearish sentiment, I would love Otoh's walls because they would allow me to exit my position with ease, induce panic selling (people would panic if they saw his walls get hit) and allow me to buy back lower. There's just plain nobody with enough coins willing to do that as they're bullish on Darkcoin. If Otoh's walls came into play a few months ago, I would have done exactly what I outlined here. I'm not willing to take the risk though as I am personally bullish on Darkcoin AND I realize too many others are as well for me to take the risk of selling that many coins. |

If I was Mr. Spread and about to come back, after dumbfucks from the community publicly posted my IP and email I sure as hell wouldn't.
Good grief.
His ip is not his real ip. It has changed to different countries so he was obviously using a proxy. I'm sure most of us are using fake email and VPN's/proxies. It's the principle of the matter. |

I'm gonna go out on a limb say - People like that, the above, need to figure out how to integrate DRK DRK need not integrate the above....................................... These guys are building meshnets on banana pi's (think raspberry pi). Just think if we had Masternodes for 1000drk and (what at some point will no doubt be portable) Meshnodes for 100drk that wirelessly connect everyone to the global money supply (Darkcoin and its masternodes) via a decentralized internet that bypasses ISPs and cellular providers. Then think of the financial infrastructure that could be built upon that portable, wireless, decentralized network... If that doesn't give you a cryptoboner, you have health problems. Meshnode for 100drk ? dev team have speak about ? Never heard about,but Its a damn good ideas for who doesn't have 10,000$ for a masternode This is just me brainstorming. I'm a nobody One of the most brilliant things about masternodes is they provide a financial incentive to strengthen the network. It's truly brilliant. And make no mistake, the guys working on meshnets that bypass ISPs and cellular networks are absolutely allies of us cryptocurrency guys. WE WANT AND NEED meshnets to roll out in mass. If Darkcoin was intertwined with these meshnets to provide a financial incentive to run one, they would explode. And so would Darkcoin. Right now you pay the assholes at Comcast or Verizon to connect. Wouldn't you rather some Darkcoin Meshnet holder get paid a small amount of Darkcoin to connect someone instead of those fuckers? |

Maybe people are buying in anticipation of the, "High priority" removal of the reference node.

No. They just understood that having a professional rather than caustic relationship with other coins can be very beneficial to Darkcoin. Vertoe is a true leader and Darkcoin is very lucky to have them. |

I think I can speak for most people who have been here since Jan-Feb 2014 when I say, there's nothing that can faze us anymore.
That's one of the concerns I have. In some respects, a cult-like following is emerging. When your leader can do no wrong, you are not being objective. If nothing fazes you, you don't fear potential competition like you should. |

Oh god, he disapeared?
If it turns out, El Spreado was on an extended Chinese New Year holiday and was merely buying the dip in stealth mode and he comes storming back with yet more game changing ideas, are you going to dump us again at the merest hint of fresh github updates and sell your 20 btc's of darkcoin at a loss then or what?  I agree. So quick to write us off, yet hes back!! Welcome back MyFarm!!! (Now where's that sarcasm font) If you read my posts over the last two months, it would be obvious that I never wrote Darkcoin off and that has not changed. I still have plenty of Darkcoin and believe in Evan. Sub-Ether, would I continue to support Spreadcoin is the dev came back and had a LEGITIMATE excuse for his absence and lack of communication? Yes. Even if he doesn't come back, I'd still love to support new coins lead by top-tier devs that utlize Darkcoin technology. I believe competition can only benefit Darkcoin if Darkcoin is smart and nimble in the way it approaches that competition. And if it's not and Darkcoin gets passed by that competition, so be it. That means something better has emerged and I'm always happy to support innovation. |

Evan is absolutely, 100% a single point of failure. ... if Evan got hit by a bus or pulled a Mr. Spread, the value of Darkcoin would tank. I suspect that won't be the case a year from now.
Ther is this thing called github, that Mr.Spread knows intimately too well. How does on pull a Mr.Spread? What happened? Oh god, he disapeared? Yep. Days before we theorize masternodes were coming to mainnet. He didn't spend his coins, he just vanished. He created what many feel was a very elegant system and *poof* Makes you break out the tinfoil. |

Evan, if you haven't, I'd suggest looking at Spreadcoin's solution to masternode payments. I'm no programmer but the people I had look at the code tell me it's elegant.
It'd be nice if some good came out of that fucking train wreck. If it can be utilized so you can focus your time and energy elsewhere, then it'll all have been worth it.

Let's say you roll out an update and enforcement is off. The next day, god forbid, you get hit by a bus before you turn enforcement on. What then?
We saw what bad actor pools do when enforcement is not on. It's not variance as stonehedge alludes; it is theft.
The beauty of bitcoin is it doesn't need a single person to flip a switch for it to work properly. At present, Darkcoin does.
That's a risk to the entire masternode system and as such, a risk to the entire Darkcoin network. And a potentially catastrophic one at that.
There's a reference node key in the software. If I get hit by a bus, someone just needs to change the key and have everyone update. What would that take, like six hours? Certainly, but then someone has to maintain the actual reference node. I'm sure as heck not going to trust anyone to the degree I trust you. And the point is, I shouldn't have to trust anyone when it comes to cryptocurrency. It's supposed to be trustless. Because let's be honest, humans can't be trusted. We're all fallible. I agree, I'm not arguing we should keep it. It's temporary At this point, it has been upgraded to semi-permanent I do believe you that it will be removed at some point. I look forward to that day so I can stop fucking around with other coins and get behind Darkcoin 100% again as I sincerely believe it will be the 3rd billion dollar cryptocurrency. |

Your biggest argument against other forms of anonymous coins is they require trust. Darkcoin must be trustless. |

I just added 20btc worth of DRK to my position. This is the first Darkcoin purchase I have made in a LONG time. I am still very bothered by the centralized reference node Darkcoin employs and hope that removing it becomes a priority. In my opinion, Darkcoin is vulnerable in its dominant position as the king of anonymity until that happens. All it will take is one top tier dev who sees the chink in Darkcoin's armor and doesn't fucking disappear Once the reference node issue is finally resolved, I suspect we'll be seeing ATH's for Darkcoin. I agree that the ref node has to go and I believe that it is seen as a high priority for the dev team. However, why does everybody get so freaked out by it? Its a temporary and elegant solution to a problem. Without it, we'd just go back to variance in masternode payments. I stand to be corrected but it is not an attack vector for the network. I agree, it literally poses no risk to any part of the system. Let's say you roll out an update and enforcement is off. The next day, god forbid, you get hit by a bus before you turn enforcement on.

I'm on shaky ground here but I think the reference node was created to solve masternode payment variance...not be a method of enforcing payments. Evan is absolutely, 100% a single point of failure. While devs like Vertoe are amazing and worth their weight in gold, I do not believe (but would love to be wrong) that they can step into Evans shoes and get Darkcoin's core code to the point it needs to be. There will come a point where Evan is no longer a single point of failure, but at this point, if Evan got hit by a bus or pulled a Mr. Spread, the value of Darkcoin would tank. I suspect that won't be the case a year from now. |
