Oh wow, they are already working on the mobile wallet?  Any ETA announced for that yet?  Amazing progress so far, I am very impressed.  I am going to suggest a few of my friends download the wallet so we can test out the encrypted messaging system soon.



Ohno!  Wwait where is ther "xxxx", I am not seeing it?  Sorry maybe I am just blind.

Hey everyone!  I am really excited to have become a part of the DO community, yesterday I purchased about 1900 ONIONs after nearly 2 weeks of research, I am extremely impressed by sucha  vibrant community for such a young coin.  But I can see the even greater success to come with such enthusiastic folks behind it.  I will introduce myself in the DO community forums soon.

I think people are waking up and realizing that the original plan of BTC was to be PRIVATE, and also that BTC is not private enough, we NEED ONION!

I actually agree with you, now that the volume is spread so thin across all exchanges, it poses a problem.  I looked over the various exchanges that trade DRK, and it looks like the community has overwhelmingly chosen Cryptsy, the DRK volume there is 5x+ what it is anywhere else.  Seems like an odd choice, as Cryptsy does not have a good track record.  I am one of many that have had serious deposit/withdrawl issues there.  I just hope Cryptsy is not DRK's new permanent home.

I agree completely, get them out of Mintpal ASAP, and direct new DRK traders to Bter and Bittrex instead, in my opinion.  Bter also pays you a small interest payment for your DRK balance (usually between .3-.45% annually), so even if trading is slow, you will get some small profit in the meantime.  Bittrex has lower volume and no interest bonus, but I do think it's a solid exchange as well.

Well, in the meantime let's use some of the hundreds of millions of NODE the devs have for SOMETHING.  What is the use of it just sitting there while NODE loses value?


This is actually a great idea.

50% (250 BTC) sold in less than 24 hours...wow.

I am glad that you're moving along with developing plans for promotion, bounties, and jobs, this is very good news.  if you're going to start new threads for those things, be sure to make new posts and update the OP.

What myself and others are saying is we understand that the devs don't want to promote NODE just yet, but why are the hundreds of millions of NODE that the devs own not being put to use to help with other things, including business development, coding, website improvements, etc?  Why are those that volunteered not being replied to?  I gave some Twitter tips and volunteered to help 5-10 hours a week with social media...no response!  Even if the answer is "no", why not give some kind of response?  Is 520 hours a year of free labor not important to you? Someone else offered to redo the website, since it is riddled with broken links and has sub-par design and navigation.  No response. There was also another guy some pages back that offered to give them a brand new logo 100% free of charge.  No response.

Go take a look at the FRESHcoin thread.  The dev did the exact same thing there; ignored those trying to help.  He got offers to have the entire business and marketing plan done for him, professional new logo, promotional materials, and professionally done promotional video.  By ignoring them, he got NOTHING.  These services cost thousands of dollars.  Where is the logic in this?  For what reason would you not want to answer an email from someone giving you everything on a silver platter?  You're busy, I understand.  But do you expect those people to just wait around for a month until you're ready to talk to them?  Guess what, they're busy too, and before long they will move on themselves.

I still own a lot of NODE and believe that it has a chance in the long term, but the devs need BALANCE in their efforts.  It can't be 99% working on code, .5% marketing, .5% business development.  That is a recipe for disaster.  If you do not stay relevant, the best product in the world can't save you because by the time it is finished everyone has forgotten about you.

I am confident that devs are working hard.  The problem is that the rest of the crypto community have absolutely no idea of this.  Where are all the hundresds of millions of NODE that are supposed to be used for bounties and hiring others for development?  What is the sense in waiting around?  Take ONE day off, do some serious networking on Reddit/start Reddit page, go through your list of volunteers/job offers and make decisions, post back here and Reddit to let people know what's going on.  It's not that hard.

Anyone know if NODE is in the queue to be added to Coin Gecko?

Holy shit. ..HUGE buy at 82!

Good job on answering with a straightforward set of criteria, that answers our question on when promotion will be executed.  In the meantime we need to start planning the how.  Since the devs hold a very large portion of the coins, there should be a ton of bounties and several compensated positions to fill.  I am one of those who messaged you asking to help that you mentioned in your post.  I have a marketing and business development background if you are interested in getting more in depth with a full-on marketing plan.

Already such an improvement, wow.  I'd definitely encourage you guys to have a news section or Twitter feed widget on your site so people can see how rapidly progress is being made.

Oh wow, awesome news, thanks for letting us know. 😄

Don't be impatient.  The devs are talking to multiple exchanges right now, but these things don't happen in a day or two, they take TIME.  Their to-do list is probably the length of an encyclopedia right about now.  They have stated that they do have plans to expand the team as well, so in the future things will move quicker, but in the meantime these guys are working hard every day, but they need to eat and sleep.  I have received some messages from them the past few days, and they are starting to work on the marketing side as well.

So Bittrex, BTC38 and Poloniex, all in the works.   NODE is moving forward, excellent job on your constant business development guys.

Meeting with BtcChina? This is huge news, I can't believe nobody has been talking about this.  Its the first I've heard of it. any further details?

I agree completely.

I totally agree, it makes my jaw hit the floor at how people panic and sell because the early investors are not done dumping yet and the price takes a dip.  This stage will eventually pass, you don't need to worry.  Devs getting caught lying, going MIA, fraudulent features, etc those are things that yo would actually need to worry about.  NODE and its devs have been rock solid, and this is just the beginning.  For a good example, Blackcoin has taken some big hits, but if you go look in their thread, the confidence is sky high.  Why?  Because the community and development efforts are strong, and Blackcoin has a TRUSTED reputation for being hardworking and honest.  Because Blackcoin knows that they will be successful in the LONG TERM.

That's what matters.

This is false.  The market is not selling because they are disappointed in the whitepaper.  Since trading has opened, the VAST majority of sell orders have been very close to 600k...the size of a stake.  This means that the early bird investor dumping stage is not yet over.  It's certainly understandable given how many got one for next to nothing (or completely free).  In fact, considering how many are dumping, the price is actually holding up remarkably well.  Don't forget also that Bter is a site primarily used by the Chinese market, and a TON of Chinese investors are liquidating their assets to invest in the Alibaba IPO.  And for goodness sake, it's been less than 48 hours since Bittrex even SUGGESTED they were interested in NODE! Do you think coins get added overnight?  Give it some time.  It is supposedly also being added to Poloniex.  Those will be huge boosts to NODE and bring in a whole new audience that has yet to discover it. Nobody can predict how long it will take the early investor dumpers to exhaust their supply, but look at how strong our community is already in such a short time.  Look at the sites that want to add NODE already.  Look at the solid communication the devs have shown already.  If NODE can come this far in such a short time, we have a very bright future to look forward to.
