Id say so.  listen to the Free IRC chat #darkcoin

even if you never start, the price of darkcoin will reflect the value masternodes hold to people who can.

You are right, the slum in bitcoin price has brought all the alts down.. including the most valuable among them, DRK.
Given the fact that btc is a whole lot bigger, if btc dives sub 500 then dark becomes even cheaper!
 Rejoice, as this moment in histoy brings in new comers with all this commotion over Darkcoin going so low!
Who here has friends starting to buy dark now at this price? I do.

bump.

Its like the calm before the storm as the Darkcoin team is perfecting Darksend+
Most have been using Darkcointalk by now. Recent post by Evan on RC4 testing.

Dark is composed of some of the smartest minds in crypto. I am sure Darksend+ beats that old cryptonote system by far. That is why they made it.
They know the downfall of cryptonote system and others and is building a better coin then even bitcoin. (lets be real ,@cinamon_carter Bitcoin has all the hype.)
DRK is at its ground floor right now and cloak is a big distraction.
 
Compare even bit to dark you'll see DRK is a serious coin going serious high in the future for the fact that we know the creator has a financial adviser license.
Cloak Dev and most others have nothing to show for himself and not be in-charge of millions of dollars of other peoples money.
Its so early, We don't even know the Darkcoin Team's grand plan yet.

This makes me even more optimistic for the real Darkcoin.

So many Darkcoin copy cats: darkcash, bitcoindark.

 Darkcoin is sounding like the next gen standard to copy.

They will even have to wait on DRK to open-source anonymity. Good luck w/ that 



 
With a short mine, this coin's distribution is fairly "centralized" by a 48 hour window.
Short POW mined in a week or less,  =   ☑ Short mine
sets aside part of the total =  Premine
launched without announcement = ninja mine

You are right about loving this coin. Once you go DRK, you don't go back!

1 BTC a week is only about 7-9 masternodes already and should be much less once drk catches up to btc in the future.  

 I would like to say : Satoshi showed his team the miners ran with missing keys gone forever intentionally. But it is uncertain if these first coins could ever be touched.

he probably pool mined later on so he had early adopter status, hope he made it out alright

My friends and I understand the future. We are all obsessed with Darkcoin 

The Darkcoin project is the most exciting thing happening in cryptos.

I question the motives of those fudding coins we all know will make it.

Darkcoin is even perhaps saving Bitcoin by being so alive with new innovation.

While satoshi left Bitcoin already, Darkcoin is in the works as we speak.

It is still very early and you ask a basic question which is yes and no.

Darksend works for a maximum of 10 coins but wait till Rc4 when you have another shield of anonymity and the 10 DRK limit is released.

This is all explained and is rather redundant to have the Dev take his or her busy time to tell you what has been posted.

Darkcoin is cutting edge tech that is released in stages. rc3 is for darkcoin masternode payments, rc4 is for darksend.

DARK is the greatest thing to hit the crypto scene since LITE. Its everything we love about cryptos made brand new and cheap but packed with development and activity.

True, its speculative but DRK has masternodes with a masterplan.. A plan to pay drk owners who contribute service a drk/day. And more revolutionary features on the way only for Darkcoin (sorrys to copy cat coins) 
Give it time, the Facebook just went live, Its to premature for talk of selling. This is like its initial public offering IPO 10$ peanut orders. 

No one spook the cattle on this one. DRK, (a valuable asset not everyone has to know about just yet).
DRK is a real project worth developing. If you feel drawn, sign up to help looking for Web savvy individuals. Be paid to be apart of a cutting edge project ensuring privacy for the internet:

Thanks DRKLord, I just updated my wallet successfully.

  There you go. You got it partner!

I cannot lie. This is one of the best coins out

My feeling is the NXT will do okay in the long run.

 Just because it managed to get itself high on coinmarketcap with calculating doesn't make it popular.

Making just short of 1,000,000,000 can get your coin up there.

IMO people generally like these type of coins. (high number of coins minted all at once)  bitcoiners didnt.

Not worth my money right now. Its a slow train, if you can call 100% POS a train. Early adopter advantage is barely there.

hmmm this is just FUD. Wonder why the hate

 ???just come out at tell us what coin you root for.

Everyone one bitcointalk has become so biased since diversifying in altcoins. Its hard to tell who to believe.

The way i see it, Dark is still on top and of $10 and will remain so because the dev is brilliant at a marketing strategy.

People don't realize yet, you can have someone else make Darkcoins for you. Any Darkcoin you buy can be used toward a masternode. There are companies which host masternodes professionally and even give them .5 DRk you can grow that. You get close to 2000th of a masternode reward, because it takes 1000Drk which is only 10k now, still thats alot.
Tell me can any other coin do that? That is why us non-I.T. guys love Darkcoin. if you don't day-trade, or mine, you can have someone else make Darkcoins for you.
