How sweet, we have a new pet troll.  Fetch boy FETCH!!!

I really thought I could get 7 seconds all along, but 5 seconds is insane.

Right... that was dumb...   Oh well, it was a fresh wallet anyway.

Blah blah...

Ha!

How long before postings have some sort of "mod protect" fee that can be added (a bit like the transaction fee in crypto) where your post will have more resistance to being deleted and you'll be offered levels of "protection" (you know, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum.....at Platinum you can say anything about anyone).

I reckon it's coming soon!

Ask me that again when your customers are wanting to pay with DRK.

Much of this discussion is to do with the concept of currency vs money. There is a good case to be made that currency and money are very different things. For example, currency can come and go in an instant. It represents an underlying value by proxy.

For example the Dutch Guilder: When it was a currency, it could be exchanged for things. When it wasn't, it couldn't.

With Gold, it has always been money, not currency. You don't pay for your cornflakes with gold, but it's kind of there, in the background. If everything collapsed it would still be there and would still be able to function as a monetary medium.

Similarly, Darkcoin's job is not to facilitate fast cornflakes packet reversal. It is much more fundamental. It is to function as a monetary medium which means that it doesn't give a sh*t about how fast anyone can transact in DRK.

Ask yourself this:

How fast can you get an ounce of gold delivered to your door ? Does it's speed of delivery impact on it's value favourably adversely ? (i.e. if it had arrived a day earlier would have paid more for it ? If so, how much more ?)

DRK has do decide if it is a private monetary base or a payment platform. It cannot be both. A payments platform (like Visa) transacts with numbers which are denominated in a monetary base but it is not that money. It's just incrementing numbers in one account and decrementing them in another. Visa is nothing. It's just an observer that can count, but it can count faster than Darkcoin or Bitcoin can move gold.

Let Bitcoin / Darkcoin be the gold and Visa be the counter, thats all I'm saying.

Stick with slow confirmation times because they are far more valuable to the general public than fast ones. Let Visa take care of Mrs Jones cornflakes.

P.S. This is a good discussion the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyV0OfU3-FU

Truth be told... I've only had a couple dozen clients use DRK. Certainly not burning any sales records.  Possibly it could be that I'm envisioning DRK as Digital cash solution and being that I've hated doing Btc transactions, which I've also done at our shop,  because it takes so long to confirm. And being paranoid that if I let the customer out the shop with a $500.00 case of wine and no recourse if the transaction for some reason fales. I've obviously have had customers go ahead and leave without full verification of the Btc transaction on good faith bases.

I think it's an educational thing that DRK should embark on to explain this fully to retailers/merchants... Is there risks in clients leaving our shops without full verified transactions? I know I'll get my money from Visa/Mastercard within 24 hours...theres a trust layer there... And though I understand that visa is not fiet currency...my Canadian dollar is.

Did you just make that remark up off the top of your head or is it based on a few day's research you did ? I often never know with these kind of profound generalisations.

The thing is this:

Over the last 25 years all commerce has migrated from non-electronic to electronic platforms.

Imagine you're a 20$ million company. What that means is that half of a million dollars of your turnover goes to to payment processors if all your turnover if paid electronically.

Half a million dollars is not a small amount of money.

Now factor in a statistic of the proportion of that turnover that wants financial privacy (as they have right now).

I'll leave you to do the calcs.

LOL!

DRK comes first if sorted by alphabetical order.

 haha... me love you long time. One of the best first-liners ever!
 You want facts and investment advice, from a forum, in a DRK (not DC) thread, packed full of ferocious "fanboys".
 Congrats, you've just made it into the top three most moronic posts of all time. Please do you own diligence and quit being so pedantic.

I'm here because I have a masternode fetish. Seriously though, the fact that X11 was only CPU mineable at the beginning really motivated me to try out mining and then I was hooked. If you look through my post history you can see me begging people to take pokerstars USD transfers for some Darkcoin and I didn't find anyone in time so I started mining. My faith in darkcoin was unbelievable, in my mind it was just a matter of time before it exploded. Then I found out how to create/clone amazon instances and set up hundreds, making so much darkcoin I get nostalgic just thinking about it. At one point I was a big part of the network hashing power. Biggest in the Official Darkcoin pool by far for a few days. Fun times.
