1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | DarkSend (exciting new feature) | KGW | No Premine on: February 26, 2014, 02:29:09 AM

I don't see why someone stating facts would make you reach the conclusion that they are greedy. I hope the dev can elaborate on the total coin cap. If it indeed can only reach a max of 10.5M then those coins mined in the first 24 hours have a much bigger piece of the pie and make the distribution unfair. I agree that early adopters should have an advantage, but 17% of all coins? How many of those are the Dev's? Sounds like a way to get around pre-mining to me. Of course I hope that is not the case because I did invest some in this coin as well and would like to see it succeed in its goal for complete anonymity. But because someone asks for transparency does not make one greedy.
I have nothing against transparency and darkcoin has been very transparent. It's only 17% of all coins if you believe there will only be 10.5 mil. And exactly, we don't know how many coins the dev has. It's best to give benefit of the doubt then jump to conclusions of pre-mining. Remember the dev was in this chat looking to buy dark earlier. To end, I don't think he was asking for transparency, I believe he was stating his conclusions. I didn't see a question at all in his remark, just an opinion

The thing is that only 17% is ALOT. For perspective, 17% of bitcoin is well over one billion dollars at the current price. In other words, my concern is more whether the total cap really 10.5M instead of the 84M advertised? If its 84M, then those coins mined in the first 24 hours are much less significant. Fair distribution is important to the success of a coin, or else Drk will just be replaced by the next coin that is able to copy its features.

1 834 654 coins were mined in the first 24hrs (17.4% of all the coins that will be mined)
http://explorer.darkcoin.io/chain/DarkCoin?hi=4200&count=100

And only linux wallet on start, which limited number of miners.

Plus strange block reward bug https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin/commit/a5737981616b4f6392d4eb63f89760c3afc64e08
so are you in dark or out? Not sure what you are after. 'Enlightenment of the masses'? Most everyone is here and supportive of dark because it has the chance to be the first truly anonymous coin. If you are angry about block rewards and whether you will make money off of it is a matter wholly unto itself. If you are 'jealous' or believe others had an advantage in the beginning, it is your opinion. Is a 100% return fair to you? 200%? It would be but you want the 1000% return a few of the early adopters may get. Fair is stating a launch date with clear plans and sticking to it. Ultracoin is just one of an example of shady coins launched with no innovation. I wasn't around in the beginning but have been able to get some dark very cheaply. You seem motivated by greed and a sense of 'fairness' that equivocates to you having. I personally hope dark succeeds and if I make even 3% off of what I invested, I would be ecstatic. I'm in it to be a part of this, to support it and not shit on it and complain what it is not. Darkcoin seems very reasonable, fair and completely open. I am sorry that you do not see it

I'm not exactly new, just a longtime lurker. Either way I thought it would be a good idea to post an intro. I'm from the US. I been involved in the Bitcoin community, mostly through reddit, since 2012. Very excited for NEM!

I discovered bitcoin when I first read an article about silkroad. I bought 30 when they were still $5... Unfortunately I did not keep them.
