Two retailers (close friends) who I have previously discussed accepting DRK actually said "come back if you change the name".
I love the name Darkcoin and don't want to see it go but it feels like the right time to move on now.

My one and only post on this. I've been involved in some of the business development side of DRK and it has been clear to me that the brand needs to be adapted to suit wider adoption. I actually hold some DRK for somebody because his wife told him that he couldn't invest because the name sounded illegal. Businesses are immediately turned off by the name. The bottom line is that it needs to happen and whilst there could have been more community engagement, we need to pull together as a community and make this happen now the cat is out of the bag. The coin is still the same and has the same amazing potential for the future too. I'm in for the long haul. If anybody disagrees and wants to sell up, PM me...I'm on the market for more coins. I'm going to miss Vertoe though. Vertoe is going to be a difficult talent void to fill.  |

And you all think XMR is totally safe ? Naivety everywhere
Nothing is perfectly safe and we've even been working hard on breaking it so we can fix it (see MRL reports). There is a difference between possibly having weaknesses or bugs and having a terribly weak and even dangerous design to begin with. Very different. why does the market hate your coin?  It doesn't. If you filter non-mined and premined scams, it is #7 out of 515 on coinmarketcap. If you include non-mined, premined and instamined scams, DRK isn't even on the list. We are 3rd. Keep your eyes open...Banxshares is catching you up |

Of all the troll and FUD we have been the subject of in recent weeks I am still dumfounded that Smooth, as a lead dev of another coin, has gone to such lengths to discredit Darkcoin with no effort to back it up with even logic let alone evidence. At least people like AdamJoan above had no credibility to lose in the first place and are not figureheads for an entire community...

If you believe that your are risking privacy by trusting masternodes to anonymise your transactions then you do not know how Darksend works.
Even if one entry controls 50% of all masternodes, the chance of tracing one transaction is tiny.
Prove your theories or they just fall into the category of ill-informed chit chat.

To my knowledge we have 59 merchants accepting DRK. From VPS providers, VPN Providers to hardware stores, wine merchants, 3d printing services, a lawyer(!), precious metals traders, electronics shops to general shops.
Thats a respectable achievement For a generic brand of peanuts maybe. Where can I spend my SDC? |

Dark mainstream adoption is starting to happen? That's a good one! Funny!
To my knowledge we have 59 merchants accepting DRK. From VPS providers, VPN Providers to hardware stores, wine merchants, 3d printing services, a lawyer(!), precious metals traders, electronics shops to general shops. 59 isn't much, agreed, but its a start. Glad it makes you laugh. |

Because its overrated and majority doesn't care about it and those who care use cash.
If people "use cash" they will want to "use cash" online too. That is inevitable. If you say people are comfortable with everything be tracked and traced that's one thing. But once you acknowledge the need for cash, the need for anon online has to be there too, for all the same reasons, and some others too. I agree with the past few comments that it got ahead of itself and blown out of proportion by speculators. Basically this:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycleThat graph looks eerily like DRK over the last year...massive pump before we'd even finished any features! |

What a viper. In almost every post you are trying to cut drk head to feel a bit taller.
The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.
I'm criticizing some aspects of DRK because they are deeply flawed and snake oil anonymity is profoundly dangerous. If you want to ascribe other motives to avoid confronting the inconvenient truth of your emperor having no clothes, I can't stop you. I'm also not going to remain silent and watch people hawking this crap without speaking out just to avoid being called names or accused of "talking trash' Your wallet seems pretty, the logo is good, InstantX seems cool, I have no problem with any of these things, and there are probably other parts of the DRK project that are great. Anonymity-wise your whole approach is a disaster. Sorry., Why don't you write a paper on why darksend is a disaster rather than just post here saying that it is without going into details? That way you could really give people facts to help their decision making. |

Moderated by a total neutral too. Great idea.

Smooth, aren't you a core dev for a coin? Havent you got more important things to be doing than talking trash on here?

So who were there at freenode? stonehedge? Those lizards only come out of their cave when they smell darkcoin I only popped my head in for ten minutes. Not me causing trouble, honest guvnor! Did you see that child_harold had his nick repeatedly taken over on the shadowcash IRC yesterday...transcripts are quite funny. |

Look I get that DRK was created before the cryptonote technology was released and arguably at the time it was the best we had to try to make Bitcoin more anonymous. Building that out was an admirable goal. It isn't any more.
Do you have a solution to replace DRK?? If so please tell the world Please dont say Monero - Adoption is Zero (0%), the problems that the coin has are at this point are not marketable (No official Wallet, Bloat, Inflation etc etc) and will never gain adoption because who in their right mind as a business would try and maintain and secure two different code bases. Bitcoin is having enough of a hard time trying to convince people to use it. Looka at directbet.eu - they Took DRK over Monero..Why is that I wonder? Directbet now take more bets in DRK than they do in BTC and indeed in any other currency, by value or volume. Satoshibet adopted Darkcoin last week. DRK adoption is happening. |

Fucking Idiots dumping  ...... thanks for the second masternode im feeling just like this right now....  I can't see any significant dumping. Weird. |

fluffy dev put whole thread to sleep  OP admitted he was wrong I guess i'll find something else of interest I never, at no point admitted I was wrong. The flaw is obvious here, and anyone who tries with a block explorer and a pen and paper can reassemble the correct transaction without shuffling. I am working on a block explorer which allows deanonymization of darksend transactions ... it is trivial actually, an let it work only in 80% of all cases. Good luck, we look forward to seeing the results of your endeavours. |

man if child_harold reads this thread...
Oh he has I'm sure. Thankfully I think that pillock has decided to promote his own coin and not try to break others. |

So far there has been a hypothetical debate but E-K has not come up with the goods. That doesn't mean that he won't though. I guess we just wait and see. I suspect that if there is a problem it will be patched faster than it can be exploited.
