Is it true, that at the moment 79,9% of the DARKCOINS are instamined (in the devs wallets) And this "Block reward": 2222222/(((Difficulty+2600)/9)^2)d is made to f..ck the ordinary miner ??
There was a mistake made in the beginning, you can read all about it here: https://www.darkcointalk.org/threads/the-birth-of-darkcoin.162/In the end, yes about 1.7 million was mined in the first 24 hours, mind by whomever was there, not one person. But please read the background. If this bothers you, so be it  |

LOL, I'll go for LimLims' eye too  I have a problem. I just sent 5 darksend payments and none of them seem to be going through. The last time I did this, i gave up on it and got charged 0.1 drk for each misbehaving send when I finally closed my computer. Several blocks have gone through since I started and yet, my darksends are still stuck at state 2. I'm wondering if they will ever go through? Is there something wrong? I am using the latest (as in I just downloaded it fresh this evening in case it was updated) beta. I really don't want to lose half a dark again, so I'll leave my computer on all night but I'm reporting this in case there is a problem that someone might look into?? Thanks Been many hours now, and my darksends still haven't gone through. Yet I know from last time, I'll be charged if I lose connection. What should I do? Hmm -- I wonder if the server that pushes DS transactions through is up & running? I believe Evan did this for the DS testing, but not sure if it's up 24/7. Well, I guess I'm just going to have to eat the fees  There really seems to be something wrong with it though.

I see this discussion about DarkCoin's popularity based on DarkSend and I am asking the question from myself (and now you): What will stop other coins cloning DarkSend one it's about of the BETA phase?
Nothing. But it won't be seriously used unless it's open sourced. You have to hope that we will have enough of a head start to make a difference. According to Evan our developer, the functionality is interwoven in the code, so it will not be a simple task to cut and paste it into another coin. However, once completed someone could easily clone it. That's what open source is about. So what can be done? Well, we'll need to get on top of marketing before it's finished I guess? |

Ok then, I think this will be a good compromise. It's bright, so it contrasts with the 'dark' theme, it's highly professional, well made and incredibly FRIENDLY!  Now don't tell me that's not the best of the bunch! |

in the same vain, all these banks have colorful logos along with their names
3 in that graphic alone are black and white, and a number more monotone... as is nike, north face, adidas, and countless others. Monochrome is clean hits hard where branding is needed. Colors are used when brick and mortar needs to stick out, or trucks, or billboards etc.
I can see that, but going back to the logo I'm pushing, lol, I can see being monotone with it, but in different colors depending on if it's for the coin, send or dgw   this only has one color. Can be done in any color really. |

I still have soft spot for this one because of the potential to brand all the new technologies Evan develops with this kind of logo/different color combos. If a person darksends by clicking a button on the wallet that looks like that, and they see the same logo later for other things, it'll eventually bring them back to Darkcoin, the originator. Like free advertisement. Not sure that can be required, but if it can, it'd be awesome! This person made variations of the logo and I think they'd be willing to refine it. I also like that it's colorful which contrasts the Dark name and pulls away from any illicit image the name might create.  I do like the sleekness of the grey design with the D, but it's really not that memorable to me??? It doesn't stand out beyond being sleek. |

I don't know...it realy looks good. But maybe it's a bit too sporty...too nike'?
Thats perfect. People need to associate this coin with a well trusted company such as nike I like that it gives you that impression |

those logos above are fun and very gothic, but I thought we wanted to get away from the impression that we're somehow underground, and wanted to give an impression of main stream?

I have found this. We're decided we're going to be changing the name of XCoin to something else. It's already kind of confusing to search for XCoin on Google and we want to differentiate ourselves from the other company using the name.
We thought it might be fun to actually let the community suggest the future name for XCoin. Any ideas?
Ps. The blockchain will stay intact, and it's merely a domain name change, some strings in the client, and the images.
Ps2. The addresses will still start with X, so keep that in mind for the suggestions
The winner gets 1000XCO! Let the competition begin.
I am so glad to know that. That's already been awarded to the person who made the current coin design, now we want a proper business like logo. More I think about it, the more I really like the top right, though I still like the bottom left because it's so easy to use the same design with different colors for any of the darkcoin technologies in the future |

Not really, but on IRQ #darkcoin you can ask the bot... forgot the command, but people are always popping in there to ask so you'd get it pretty quickly. |

These four stood out for me:  I forgot that upper right one, yes, it's bright and feels right as a logo. I like it too. |

Did the lotterymining.com guys shut down and take the coin? Today was an announcement to remove coins as the lotto is over. My pin didn't work and my account has been locked. The site stated an email had been sent to recover my pin. But no email has arrived over 30 minutes.
No, they will shut down at the end of the month. If you're having trouble logging in, just email or PM CHAOSiTEC You have until April 22 to withdraw your fund, I plan on mining until the very last day |

My feeling has been that neutrality is the best choice. "Dark" won't play well to a wider audience IMHO and trying to convey too much about purpose with a simple logo can bring about unintended consequences as it pertains to individual interpretation. The "lock" logos for example - I see security, others see oppression. Both valid interpretations, one very definitely NOT what we're going for.
It may be possible to convey more of a message with proper vetting, but out of pure pragmatism that sort of vetting is going to be way more involved than I think anyone is able to deal with under the current circumstances, if it would be possible at all.
My suggestion would be to come up with a short list of maybe 3-5, then perhaps a standard (short) survey that community members can take to friends/relatives/coworkers who have very little to no exposure to crypto in general and get their initial impressions, so that there is at least SOME sort of feedback from outside the bubble.
I agree that "Dark" is controversial. That's why I like this logo design. It's pretty neutral and emphasizes the "send" part by showing how it goes in all directions. Also, I love the way it is used for all the different technologies in Darkcoin. You can see it expanding to other new technologies for the future, and if you could require the logo when people adopt DarkSend, Dark Gravity Wave, etc... for their coin, it'd almost be like advertising, because the Darkcoin logo would look almost the same.  Only one little thing, I'd rather see the central color be solid, that's it. I can also see it used on top of LimLim's envelope design for a send button, sort of like the wax seal of a letter  Also, I liked this one, but it doesn't seem as useful:  |
