Looking great. Some comments on this current state:
1. Logo should be more prominent somewhere, not just the little substitute for the D up in the top left.
2. Yellow highlighting and links doesn't look good among all the cooler color temperatures. Underlining or a background box upon hovering works. Light orange is better with blue if it needs to be a color. See this example from our corporate overlords for a blue/white website: http://www.mckinsey.com/insights
3. First image is negative and it's very busy/distracting with the white-on-white.
4. The favicon is a G for some reason.

Thanks for the feedback. All opinions do matter.
1. I'm not so sure. Putting a large logo in will detract from the site unless the whole word "darkcoin" is incorporated into the logo itself. Look at the Bitcoin website where the whole word is part of the logo and the "B" is really an icon of sorts.
2. I'll have a look at an orange. Personally I like yellow with blue, but that's just me.
3. OK, I'll have a look around for more stock images. If you want to can have a look on Shutterstock and suggest some. All suggestions help. I can always darken the blue overlay to make the images less distracting. Here's a few cheesy ones:

These images are costing me around $11 each so only recommend ones that you think would really work.
4. G as it's built on the Genesis Framework. As soon as we have a definite logo, I'll create the favicon.ico file.
At this stage we're getting very close to parking the design for now. We really need to get some content written and the site live. The design can always be revisited but need content to get indexed ASAP.
