I don't think anonymity is a fad. It's a requirement for digital cash.
+1. As businesses get into using cryptocurrency, they will make it an automatic requirement. No company is going to want to open its books to competitors, but that is what will potentially happen every time an accounting employee goes from Company A to Company B (or simply sells out for cash). That was a "light bulb" moment for me regarding anonymity - ALL SERIOUS ALTCOINS MUST HAVE IT going forward. How does the lack of anonymity open the doors for competitors? Because now they can see how much a company is earning? Congrats; that does absolutely nothing. Anonymity only serves to thwart the governments, which is what will lead to stronger regulation. You can't be serious, it's a joke right ? You don't see the issue for a company to let its competitors see its income, when it sells the most/the less, how much it receives per transaction in average etc. You're going to have to spell this out to me. We know how much Microsoft earns. We know how much they spend. We know where they source things from. Same with Apple. Same with Blizzard. Same with Exxon. How is ANY of this going to matter? And if it's so important, why is it all public information anyways? Basically you want to anonymize data that is already publicly displayed. That's asinine. You talk about turnover, I talk about account details, transactions in real time, how the money is used, how much did they pay a supplier etc. sensitive informations. You are either dumb or naive. |

Um if they have millions of dollars there , shouldnt they know that cryptsy will allow someone to OVERSELL, there for causing them to get more coins than they should have?
Leave it to us mere human and keep Darkcoin neutral.  |

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT! https://twitter.com/DarkcoinCryptoRemove the shit talking about other coins. Jesus fuck. Tweeting that kind of shit is not professional. If this was InternetApe again, seriously, you need to no longer have access to the twitter account. I expect trolls to spread fud but not the official Darkcoin twitter, that is just low.
Way to give them more ammo. FUCK. There was no FUD! Al it was, was a link to a post and a question. You should calm down! That is NOT how the OFFICIAL twitter account of this coin should be used. This is TWICE you've fucked up with it. You need to hand it over to someone who has a clue. I appreciate what you do for DRK behind the scenes, but this side of things is NOT your forte. PLEASE apologize and resign access to the twitter account. That was not the best thing to do, but you are a bit excessive IMO. |

Very low tactics from the drk community, time to sell my drk and buy more XC
Yeah right... we are supposed to believe that you had even 1 DRK to begin with ? Moreover YOU did use low tactics and I don't want Darkcoin to play at the same level. |

Up until now I'd just been assuming that XC was garbage, but having spent ten minutes or so reading what I can on it, I am genuinely amazed. XC has nothing. NOTHING. Ahahahahahahahahaha...  FUCK ALL ...except some vague promises that one day, if you donate them some money, they will have... something...It boggles the mind. They wait for a real dev to open source his work.  |

I don't get it even a minor bagholder with lets say 10,000drk who bough it at $0.60 can dump it now and make $50,000 profit instead of risking the wait until the correction... why would they hold?
If you dumped all your coins don't try to find a justification, enjoy your profit. The future will tell who is right and who has regrets. |

Maybe all the FUD, attacks, etc. in the last month have left me skittish -- but I wonder even in the short term what might happen to the coin if there is an organized effort to hurt DRK based around pools cheating. If Evan does go through with this then I hope I am just worrying over nothing.
If? It is a given that at least half the pools and big farms (a lot of them nowadays) won't be paying. So the 20% will be more like 10% for the masternodes, =what they were expecting anyway. But it will be a disproportionate weight to the "fair" pools. The whole thing to appease investors with "ok guys no hard forks" and bagholders of masternodes with "ok guys you'll get 20%" is sketchy. I know I'm harsh but I like things to go right  Price is price. It'll go up, down, sideways etc. Let it be. All the price attention is having an impact in development. Development must proceed as planned so we can have the final product, nice and polished - no matter if it takes 1-2-3 or 5 hardforks and no matter if investors are bitching that they are losing masternode income because the implementation is late. Do they want to have masternodes of a coin that is GOOD or do they want to have a masternode of a coin that is doing hack-arounds? The masternode protocol works, the masternode payments work (we saw them - it's not vapor), it's just that there is something introducing instability which has to be debugged and sorted out. If the origin is difficult to trace, then perhaps a different mechanism can be used for doing the payments (not voluntarily) We also need improvements in DarkSend. The competition (MRO) is integrating I2P (as we've said) and XC will be using encrypted communication between nodes (as it has been said of DRK's future plans as well). I know this sounds like a mom's "to-do list" to the child until she gets back home, but priorities are priorities, and price or reaching litecoin immediately are not a priority. If the code is sorted out and the product delivered in final form, LTC will start rolling down. Too fast of a price rise with a half-baked product is problematic. LTC can't compete anyway in fundamentals like inflation (10x the BTCs to absorb LTC production compared to DRK) or innovation so they will be dead anyway by debasement. #2 is a given. Preserving #2 is not due to the competition. Who is gonna buy 300k USD of LTCs per day? It'll go 0.019 -> 18 -> 17 over time. It doesn't look that "hot" of a property. Only buys will be for cost-averaging buys at 0.025+. Having said that about the #2 competition, the anonymity competition actually looks pretty lame (BCN and clones too many issues, XC mostly vapor for now but that could change a few months ahead as they seem to have the prospects of delivering a product similar to what Evan has at like 70-80% completion). But we can't base our strategy on others failing or being pumps & dumps that are "threatening" us due to pumps => we must excel and take the market. Then bring V2 for "fatality". Otherwise the risk is there for more serious contenders appearing. My 2 duffs. Apparently I have more faith in humanity than anyone else around here  I'll implement the masternode payments via hardfork, who knows, maybe all of you are right. By the way, I'm not talking about the price now or even in a year. It's about the security of the network when it's large enough to support a decent amount of transactions. Giving a higher reward simply doubles or triples the cost of such an attack, 10% was just too low. +1 for a hardfork, it's a tough decision now to be at ease later. Why ? 2 words : free riders. |

That part: If the pool doesn't pay the correct amount to the correct node, we'll know and we'll shame them. We'll get miners to move to honest pools.
...won't work. We couldn't even get the miners of coinmine to switch when they were >51% because they were getting consistency and low variance (compared to the official which was DOS'ed). The days of 2-3 pools also seem to be over: http://drk.poolhash.org/poolhash.htmlThe pie chart is revealing. Just use hard fork and another system of election/payment that doesn't affect network stability. "Honest pools" won't work. Guaranteed.They can even offer bigger rewards (the non distributed DRK) to make the miners stay. Right. Shaming them might actually achieve the reverse effect and make the pool bigger. If it's only hurting others indirectly, aka the MN users, then as a miner, I would go where the largest block reward is. We may face a free-rider problem by expecting someone to pay voluntarily for a service, he let the others pay and benefits from it for free. That's why taxes exist. |

Wasn't that useless draft around about a month ago until a topic regular finally "asked" him to leave?
Understand that it's difficult to create that much contents in less than 6 months. 2-3 months to be frank lol I know ... must be hard. |

Are the Monero people so insecure that they have to come here to do some mudslinging ?

Ergh that's going to be such a mess if true. That's crazy to do a transaction during a hard fork. |
