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.

I only have one concern with DRK.
The only real problem DRK might run into is regulators....and the name Darkcoin is like a red rag to a bull
This has been gone over...and over and over and over and over. The name isn't going anywhere. |

This is gonna have to correct, uh...right? Finding it hard not to panic buy.  Correct? Its all up from here. Lol. Cryptsy just swallowed an 11+ btc sell wall in about 60 seconds. Don't think I've ever seen something like that happen with DRK. |

someone please explain to me what the point is in a multipool on a coin running any form of gravity well? wouldn't it defeat the main purpose of a multi, profit-switching?
Can skip from coin to coin before gravity well has a chance to react, as I understand it. |

Anyone running a master node on an Azure instance? Pros/cons vs. Amazon EC2 (aside from cost, which I haven't looked into yet)?
Does Azure use some sort of DOS protection by default? If someone decides to DOS your Azure node, can you get charged for the increased traffic? According to this article, yes there is built in DDOS protection, both from internal (i.e. other Azure users) and external attackers. Precisely what that means in terms of the measures they implement, I have no idea. I'm having trouble finding anything directly from MS about it. I don't know the answer to your bandwidth question. |

I always keep seeing some apparition buy walls that keep appearing and disappearing on cryptsy and mintpal. If that's any indication, it's that DARK coin has investors waiting in the wings for DARKSEND to come out of BETA before the marketing Blitz begins. This is the only coin that I've held on to for more than a month, all I can do is wait. That 112 BTC buy wall was not for decoration. People with money to pump the coin have taken notice but why pump it when it is not yet ready?
Yeah it's clear that there are some relatively heavy duty investors circling. I'd love to be privy to the details of Evan's conversations with those types of people, incidentally. As I and many others have said before though, everything hinges on DarkSend working as advertised. |

guess who couldnt sleep tonight....  Nice! I'd like to see how it looks with the stylized D made bigger and set behind the text. |

That's what I mean. There is no link to darkcointalk neither in the OP nor on darkcoin.io. There is even an interview with Evan (link posted a few pages ago) but it is not linked anywhere you can find it easily. So you have to search in more than 700 pages for the information you look for. There is a link to darkcointalk on the OP. Look closer. It's not as prominent as it should be though, I'll grant you that. |

"DarkSend BETA v6 I believe we're getting really close to a stable product now. I've implemented all of the changes caused from my conversation earlier with Anonymint and it seems to be really working smoothly." Congratulations! Anyone else wonder if Anonymint might be Satoshi, trying to develop a anonymous coin to move his stack of Bitcoins to? Conspiracy! The thought crossed my mind the first time he showed up. Very knowledgeable with a marked lack of patience for people who didn't understand what he was saying. But his writing is better than anything I've read from Satoshi (in terms of structure). Satoshi would be smart enough to act like NOT Satoshi... Or at least I am and I'm not that smart... That's just what he would want you to think... |

I really love the validation you guys are giving Darkcoin.
The one precious resource in the world is our time on this planet.
And you want to spend it hunting down darkcoin when there are so many blatant scams in the world. False IPOs and all sorts of people that remain hidden and don't have the front to tell everyone who they are.
Spending your limited resource on this planet trying to knock one particular coin is all the validation I need to invest more.
You guys rock.
you know, this is not their first scam coin. they were all over dozens of similar scams. guys, nice to see you again. it's like january/february times all over again. Ha, what other coins have I done? I think he was referring to tweedle dee and tweedle dum. Ymer and the other troll. |

To be fair, I don't think he admitted it, he just failed to add a comma. After I asked many investors ...
Should read "After I asked, many investors..." Punctuation is important folks. Nope, it's pretty clear that he ended the poll prematurely, the real voting was 45% for and 55% against in a few hours, I didn't even knew the thread existed. Then it was locked and deemed as "community voted against" which is bullshit. He realized it was a horrible idea. |

Just a reminder to all DRK miners and investors so you are aware that these 2 million coins owned by very few people are equivalent to 100,000 blocks at the current difficulty, or 138 days of mining with the current hashrate and block reward.
Jesus Christ you need to have your fucking head examined. Pick a hobby. Any hobby. I'll send you DRK to pay someone to have sex with you. Honestly. Find a hooker and send me her price. $200 or $300 should do it. You need it. |

Megacoin has dropped just as badly ... it's community is nowhere near as large as qrks. You are a noob who missed out on qrk nothing more. Your entire crypto wealth totals a few qrk at best. Stick to cents they are the coin for you.
When can we ban these fucktard noobs who spam the board daily ... this is the 3rd or 4th thread on this today from the same moron.
The fucking noob crybaby has no clue.
The distribution of qrk has been done to death.............
It's distribution is no worse than BTC LTC PPC etc they are all pretty much around the same..
Sorry for the cross post....but can I point out a fact that cryptohunter was defending similar attacks he is making against Dark. No opinions, just facts. another pointless post from a clutcher of straws..... this is about CAPTIVE instamining with no windows qt and changing the minting.... this is not about current distribution all we know about current distribution is wallet balances but we are not discussing current distribution. If you want to talk about other coins then make a thread. Next one is delted if it makes no sense. The arguements about qrk do not hold here i have posted why already. 1. everyone there could mine - not 80%+ closed out from mining 2. diff adjust worked (HUGE DIFFERENCE) 3. Not later cutting minting by 75% to increase day 1 mining to 50% of current minting. so if you keep bringing up other coins it makes dark look even worse and is not relevant to this discussion.... this is about drk coin. Keep on topic. WOW you drk guys are trying to find something...hehe keep reading guys. I HAVE ALREADY POSTED A FULL QRK COMPARISON ON THIS THREAD - read it. There is no need to keep trying to divert attention to other coins.... keep on topic. But you sound so reasonable and wanting to do the community such an awfully good deed by only focusing on the facts. Facts which keep getting repeated to bump the thread. But the facts from your posts on QRK show you have a real way with four letter words and reveal so much more about your attitude. That is mostly fact based. I have added some minor interpretations of your intentions. My language depends upon my mood us teenagers are notoriously hard to get along with. However enough of your nonsense, motives etc etc mean nothing. Facts are facts....boo hoo cryptohunter swears sometimes so that changes the facts here does not work. It seems now that everyone acknowledges the instamine happened and the cutting from 88M to 22M happened.... it happened end of story. We are now into the excuses and justfication. There are none. Please forget about it, you are bumping and bumping. If you don't reply i won't sit here typing to myself. Either you are anti dark coin or mad. Either way make your own thread if you can't stay on topic. Like i say if you found a post where i admit i'm the devil himself....that can not alter the facts presented here. So remain quiet. unless you bring new evidence to refute the block explorers findings. The dev offered to make it up to us actually and i think he would, he does not want to code his ass off now for ever with this shit storm blowing up every 5 mins it makes no sense for him rather dilute his holdings a bit and have a stonger more marketable coin.... However the holders wanted to protect their investment ....i get it but still don't spin me the instamine was good, the cutting of minting was good,.... no it was not good.... it was very bad. Dev wants to mend he knows now it was a big mistake..., community will never agree. End of story. Nothing more to be said. Time to forget it. What do we learn..... stop scams instantly before they get hold, by then people are invested in terms of time, money and effort... you can never go back and fix it even if they want to. Wow. Keep on flogging that straw man, stud. |

oh i see now ... so it happened  that's all you needed to say. If you have nothing new to add then why post. Why ask for proof then say you know it happened anyway.... stop wasting my time. If the dev and a handful of people accidentally mined up 50% of the current minting in 24hours then accidents happen i guess lol No, it's just fair that they get an advantage. Wait, but it didn't happen, prove it. Who cares if it happened? I don't give a shit and have nothing to be scared of. But it didn't happen, prove it. I know it happened and it's public knowledge, so who cares? But the burden of proof is on you. Best Regards, eltito What happened, a mistake where a lot of coins were mined in the very beginning, which was corrected as soon as the dev realized it? Yes - it's right there on the bitcointalk thread for everyone to see. Also on darkcointalk. Who ever claimed otherwise? Not me. Cryptohunter is accusing the devs of scamming, with no evidence to support the accusation. That is what he needs to prove. The other thing is common, public knowledge. Why is this so difficult for you two to grasp? So was it a mistake or a fair advantage? please state your position firmly so we can have a real discussion. I've answered this. https://www.darkcointalk.org/threads/the-birth-of-darkcoin.162/Don't deflect. Answer my very simple question: Was the instamine a mistake or a fair advantage to dev and his buddies? According to the dev it was the former. According to you it was the latter. The burden of proof lies on you, not on him (or me). And what is YOUR position? this is the third time that I ask you this question, why do you not answer directly? Intuition isn't your strong suit... My position is what the available evidence bears out: that it was an honest mistake and a fumbled launch, corrected as soon as it was realized. Nothing nefarious. Now, as I've asked you far more than three times (to no avail thus far), what evidence do you have that supports your accusation that it was a scam? Ok now that you have finally stated your position. First, you say that "where do I come up with the 2 million figure"Well it's pretty easy actually: http://explorer.darkcoin.io/chain/DarkCoin?hi=3450&count=20 Up until this block the reward was 500 so, 3450 * 500 = 1,725,000 coins. Then from block 3500 to block 4032 the reward was 277, so 532 blocks * 277 = 147,000 coins. After that somehow the reward was again 500 from block 4033 to 4500, 468 blocks * 500 coins = 234,000 coins. If you add them up = 2,106,000 coins, so 2.1 Million coins. Secondly, you belive dev when he says that "they didn't know something was happening" until they reached block 4500.This is complete and utter bullshit, if you check the thread that you linked me to he says: "We launched later and immediately got stuck on block 42, I was new to the Bitcoin codebase and wasn’t sure what I missed so I announced we’d relaunch later." - When they got stuck at block 42 he should have definitely know that the blocks were rewarding 500 coins, but he decided to ignore it and just "fix" the part where they got stuck and didn't touch the faulty minting code. - The difficulty wasn't retargeting either, he somehow also "didn't notice" it after the first 42 blocks problem. - No windows qt wallet after 8 hours of mining 500 non-retargeting low difficulty blocks. - Lastly, how the fuck do you mess everything up in your favor and don't seem to notice until "it's too late and we're too rich to do anyhting about it". EDIT: Forgot to add, he states that he was new to making coins... why didn't he used the built in testnet before launching? Every one of your questions is answerable by your last line: Forgot to add, he states that he was new to making coins... I'm fine with Halon's razor, but let's say you're right. Why didn't they dump it all when it was over .002 and disappear? That's a couple million bucks for a month or two's work, not bad eh? Why would the dev make his true identity available if he had nefarious intent? Why continue to develop the coin? Why waste your time? Why risk watching it crash? Are you going to say greed? He and his "buddies" could have pulled $2M USD out of thin air, with no guarantee they'd EVER be able to do it again. Why didn't they? If greed is the motivator, they truly suck at being greedy. Cutting the supply was a decision based on input from potential investors. His reasoning is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5823918#msg5823918Notice that his original thought was to reduce new coin supply by 20% per year. If his intent was to leverage his ill-gotten gains from the "Grand DRK Heist of '14," why lower that number to 7%? There are several people on the bitcointalk thread who say they're invested well into 5 figures, and those are just the ones we know of. I believe the biggest wallet is somewhere in the area of 190k DRK. None of what you are implying makes any sense outside of your bubble of no-context. None of the dev's actions have indicated anything other than seriousness and commitment to making the coin viable and successful for everyone involved. Edit: Which reminds me, I read somewhere on the bitcointalk thread that the total supply will max at in the low 70M range with the yearly cut to new minting being 7% instead of 20% (as originally proposed). Unfortunately I can't find the post at the moment. The original intent was for 84M, so that is not a very significant cut, and it arrives there in a much smoother fashion. |

Your devotion to Darkcoin is bordering on pathological. Neither you nor anyone else need have anything whatsoever to do with this coin.
The entire sequence of events is public information. You can read the sequence of events during launch as they happened on the boitcointalk thread, and you can read the developers account of events on darkcointalk.
Please give us a point by point account of exactly where the deception or "lies", as you keep typing over and over and over, exist.
A qt would have been preferable. That there was no qt was public knowledge pre-launch. Everyone had ample opportunity to ignore DRK and move on to something else. Why didn't they do so? Why do they continue to not do so? Is everyone stupid but you?
Also, exactly how difficult is it to set up a free, ~400MB OS that works on basically any machine - for which, I might add, NO GPU drivers were necessary at the time - in order to mine the coin?
Please provide a block of times and dates which would be most convenient for you, so that future developers may know when to launch, as apparently launch time comprises a "fairness" issue in your mind (LOL).
In the interest of full disclosure, I own and support DRK. I'm fully aware of all of its launch issues and I couldn't give a shit less. I suppose that makes me stupid...
Cryptohunter is (literally, no joke) a 16 year old child in obvious, desperate need of a healthy hobby and a girlfriend.
Bringing things to a personal level ... sad to see... however i leave it this time because you insist on posting this worthless post over and over.... So you are saying yes the 50 % instamine of all existing coins happened whilst windows users could not mine but...bla bla bla bla bla..... fair enough that's all i wanted to know. Others can draw their own conclusions on the motives. That's fine, may be it was a big accident and not on purpose... seems possible i guess. To be fair if it was just the instamine.... hmmm could be an BIG accident.... but then by accident chopping off 75% of the remaining minting ...... sometimes accidents start to look like planned action. That is a far more reasoned and respectable position than "DARKCOIN BIG SCAM??" which is nothing more than a direct accusation with a weasel clause, a la Glen Beck. |
