coin of the decade
Fixed for you Fixed for you two  |

Maybe someday people will remember when they dumped some DRK for a penny and they were actually happy about it.  |

Darkcoin's value is either stable or on the increase when other coins' value decrease, that's something.

Suddenly there are a lot of "market experts" here wanting to buy cheap predicting a dump.  |

Whats the best thing i could buy to create a masternode if its not good with my Windows 8 or Windows 7 computer?
A VPS or a private server (host with DDOS protection) and ubuntu. |

I hope you guys don't get discouraged if profit-taking starts up again. The eventual potential of an anonymous coin is far above present valuations so in the long run it doesn't matter.
I don't even consider to sell even if it reaches $10 tomorrow. Some may think it's silly, but I believe in the long term and the time will tell who is right. |

is the 1000drk requirement already fixed or still open for discussion? I think 1000 could be too much especially as we'll hit 10$ per coin soon Not open for discussion I believe. The idea was to make the amount a barrier to entry to dissuade newbies from setting up nodes because the nodes require good security/ddos protection. yeah I know, but it also helps to secure the network if there are a lot of nodes! Already discussed. But if you want to buy 1k DRK, now is the time. Unless I missed an update at some point, the intent is to periodically reevaluate the layout for a masternode as the value of the coin goes up or down. No I think someone proposed to link the masternode's cost to the difficulty, so that this cost becomes a negative function of the difficulty. But that was just an idea. |

Looks like someone just launched a new "Xcoin".
Don't sweat it, there is no confusion possible. |

Transaktions with darksend enabled don't work for me. Everytime the darksend status idle after some time (never goes after 1/3), and no transaktion happen. I have RC 1, "addnode=23.23.186.131" is in darkcoin.conf. Also I've made a clean start with the romaing folder removed. Any ideas?
Darksend requires 3 transactions to complete (it won't be an issue when we have more people using it), try sending 3 times with darksend. You'll see 1/3, then 2/3 then signing and complete. Ok that worked. But now there is another problem. I've sent 3x 9 DRK to mintpal but only 9 DRK arrived. 27.003 DRK where deducted from my wallet. thats the id from those 3 transactions http://chainz.cryptoid.info/drk/tx.dws?d08bcb05760f7291e641b79e6ff9e4986b7c22ecc8ac61bae01c68d04df3246d.htmd08bcb0576... 56385 2014-4-23 10:37:38 + 9.0 DRK 18.0 DRK
d08bcb0576... 56385 2014-4-23 10:37:38 + 9.0 DRK 27.0 DRK
d08bcb0576... 56385 2014-4-23 10:37:38 + 9.0 DRK 36.0 DRK
Seems ok for you now. |

Don't get overly excited about the price, it's fairly stable. Bitcoin is going down. Worry about that more.  I don't, I only use Bitcoins to buy more Darkcoins.  |

The new logo is making it very geeky and immature. I think we're too old for playing transformers. Aren't we ?
I guess this is what Lims called "modern design". You guys are cute. I'd be interested to know more about the creator esp age and background/situation. That guy have evident 3D skills but it looks so very much.. antisocial. Same goes for the majority of bitcointalk registered members. Typical coders and geeky people aren't so famous for their fashion sense and aethetics, nor necessarily communication experts. But this is really getting caricatural !
The identity choice is bad and I'm not hoping for an improvement from now. I hope Darkcoin anonymity feature will be enough to make it rocking on long term. But it's a risky bet.
Not meant to hurt just the sharp truth. As I've been always successful in my own ventures and tired of BS talking, I wish you guys personnal success. If you can work as much as you like to argue and pretend knowing things, I'm sure this will be easy for you.
Just my 2mil..
Good luck.
FWIW the new logo wasn't my first choice (it was chosen by poll), and I would have much preferred a clean, untextured / flat version on the website over the 3d metallic coin. But it's not my decision, so...  Also, I think your criticism is fair, but delivered poorly. Just because you have the same opinion about the logo that makes his criticism fair ? |

Geez man. I don't necessarily disagree with your ideas but for someone who loves to talk about how successful they are I'm afraid your interpersonal skills are very lacking. You'd probably get a better response if you sounded less egotistical :/. +1 <sarcasm>A condescending tone and a hint of arrogance: The recipe for a good marketer.</sarcasm> |

Is mining X11 as much ram intensive as scrypt N ?
Short answer : no. |

My 2 duffs on protecting Darkcoin / DarkSend IP:
Really Bad Idea.
Other than it being impossible to enforce, it also goes against the ideological foundation of distributed currencies. Keep it free & open, everyone wins, and we don't end up looking like the bad guy. In fact, trying something like that would likely be painting a big target on us for hacker & anti-authoritarian types.
With a dual licensing the source is open except for commercial use. I don't see the problem with that except for projects trying to make money off DarkSend (anti-authoritarian and capitalists ?) . |

Just putting this out there in light of Limlims stepping back:
My background is in psychological operations with the US Army, which is um. ..well marketing, in a certain sense.
If it would be useful, I'm willing to take over (or at least contribute to) what he was doing in the interim until we find a pro marketing firm/individual.
Just PM me if I can be of any assistance.
Chuck out some suggestions and proposals mate so we can mull them over. Don't worry about getting anything wrong, you can't hope to compete with me on that! Seriously the more ideas the better, preferably with some actual plan to implement them. Off the top of my head: - Have this thread locked to all but eduffield and internetape, because it's basically a goatfuck at this point.
- Move all conversation to darkcointalk forums.
- Stop putting every little thing to a community vote. Consider community input carefully, but lead.
- Recruit "inner circle" to float ideas past before they're presented to the community. Off the cuff comments or ideas from devs or anyone even loosely associated with the devs MUST be carefully vetted before going public from here on out.
- Contain official discussion pertaining "marketing and branding" either to a closed or heavily moderated thread on darkcointalk. Stop discussing these things in public until they're better refined and thought out. Too many cooks in the kitchen - good intentions all, but very few who know what they're talking about.
- Contain official discussion pertaining to major changes to the coin or anything tertiary (eg foundation, bounties) to a closed thread on darkcointalk. Present ideas to the community only after thorough vetting. Stop discussing these things in public until they're better refined and thought out.
- Designate specific individuals for specific tasks - stop crowd sourcing. Nice idea in principle, chaos in practice.
- Three different types of information campaigning: white (we claim responsibility), gray (responsibility is ambiguous), black (make it appear as though someone else is responsible). Each of these can be put to extensive use for this coin. Leave it to your imagination, but this is one reason marketing must be a closed discussion.
- Identify target audiences, tailor marketing for each, create products, vet, disseminate.
- Stop kidding yourselves about how this coin will be used. Without condoning or condemning, engage ALL potential target audiences. Tailor marketing accordingly.
- STOP entertaining new ideas in regards to logos and branding. The decision has been made. Own it. Get it off the goddamn table as the foremost discussion topic of discussion.
A military state ... Basic corporate PR man. As long as Darkcoin is not more widely known I don't see the benefit to "exile" ourselves on the dedicated forum. There are far worst threads here in term of content for other coins, and nobody is complaining. First, it's plenty widely known. Look at almost any thread on this forum related to "most promising alt-coins" questions and you'll see Darkcoin in every other response. Second, if bitcointalk.org is meant to be the primary means of raising awareness of this coin, then it is doomed to death by myopia. Everyday there are people (investors, miners) who don't know a thing about Darkcoin, but learn more and become interested in it by seeing that active thread on bitcointalk.org yes. |
