HI,

Can someone explain to me why the price should go up with nothing to come out for at least 3-5 weeks?

Price kept going down since it was $11 RC3 didn't help MN didn't help RC4 didn't help because there is no marketing from the Dev team...Since 20th of June till now price went from $11 to 2.3  5 weeks from now and price will hit $1 easy.

Devs are not the ones who should do marketing, they must hire a PR agency to do it for them. As for the DRK price, some large stakeholder/s is slowly dumping his coins, that is why it's all downhill since June.

Again, and again, and again... we need something like this:

https://bitcoinatm.com/ (BTC, LTC, Doge, BC)

or this

https://anxbtc.com/pages/#/card

I would contact them if my English was OK

Simple.
1) eventually the weak hands who bought at the top can't take the pain any more and they get out,
2) this leaves the long-term believers who see the fundamentals of Darkcoin and will go down with the ship if need be,
3) new money enters from the long-term believers as well as from those who are brand new to Darkcoin and see a freaking bargain.

IMO we have bottomed and this is new money entering Darkcoin.
JL

What's your rationale for DRK having bottomed? The DRK community is growing every day and there's definitely some buying going on, still the price is falling. I see no other explanation than some huge bagholder is slowly dumping his coins.

This project is 8 months old, marketing will happen when the team is ready.

Until then, enjoy these low prices, you're not going to see them ever again...

I doubt if an everage user is gonna be ready to wait that long. Considering the price is creeping down day and night.

Yo,

It seems elberethzone's masternode status page is still down...  https://drk.mn

Does anyone know how to get a hold of him?

Thanks!

edit: it seems that the wikis and p2pool listed in his signature are gone as well

[Sleepyx]

Is there a legitimate anonymous coin being developed behind the scenes anywhere that could have a chance of competing with darkcoin by moving faster? (not xmr, cloak, xc, etc) If not then I wouldn't worry.

F**k the average user.
Bitcoin didn't go to 1000 $ because of average users.
It also didn't maintain it's pricelevel around 500$ for the last half year because of average users.

If history repeats itself, the following will happen:
You can now buy darkcoin at insanely low prices.
In 1-2 years you can sell those darkcoins to "average users" for a price - order of magnitudes higher.

The average user is always late to the party.
So.... wait for the party, prepare yourself.
When the "johnny come latelies" arrive, you will have to be here to fullfill their needs...
If you have given up in the meantime, then there will be no party for you!  

Most people who got rich with bitcoin held on to their coins for atleast 1-2 years, before they couldn't resist selling a few at the Nov 2013 spike.
So, that seems to be the behaviour that leads to success. NOT daytrading.

I subscribe to every word. Hold on to your DRK for awhile and everything's gonna be allright.

An average user creates transactions volume, spreads the word about the coin and does many useful things. A currency won't be able to survive long term just by relying on a few loyal (long-sighted) users. If DRK aspires for mass-adoption, the average user should be catered to as well. Also your example of Bitcoin doesn't fit in the current picture. There was no competition back in 2009 hence people interested in digital currencies had no other options than stick to Bitcoin.

Promising Altcoins !! ...->>

Promising Altcoins

By Alex Kerya, September 1, 2014
Promising Altcoins

New cryptocurrencies appear every day. At the moment, there are over 200 of them and the number increases almost exponentially.  With this many coins, it is hard to find those that have any potential. Simply, numbers are overwhelming and do not allow for a clear view on the entire ecosystem. With this in mind, we decided to pinpoint several altcoins that show promise, at least, in our opinion. Furthermore, our hope is to provide users with tools that will help them wade trough the altcoin forest.

Tools

Several websites offer altcoin comparison charts. One of the most popular ones is Coinmarketcap.com. Although it gives valuable info about relative value of different cryptocurrencies, it does not provide a clear picture of all the altcoins available. Market cap represents the value per altcoin multiplied with the amount of coins on the market. The figure produced gives an idea of how valuable each coin is. Unfortunately, the website does not account for the popularity of altcoins or their usage. Furthermore, when looking at the values presented, one should look for amount of money traded, and the shape of the graph. For example if the graph is comprised from almost unbroken geometrical lines, this indicates small volume traded, and suggests that any price jump is most likely short term in nature.  Additionally, inspecting Bitcointalk thread gives a better overview of the market and enables users to understand how popular each currency is. Furthermore, analyzing relevant subreddit can be useful. There are many factors determining the price of altcoins, but the rule of thumb is that the more popular the coin is, the price will be higher.

Altcoins

Blackcoin

One of the first POS coins on the market. Instead on relying on standard Proof of Work in order to authenticate transaction blocks, Blackcoin uses Proof of Stake. Subsequently, users do not depend on miners providing network security, but can provide it themselves by keeping the wallet open.  Additionally, BlackHalo is a feature of Blackcoin, providing unbreakable contracts between parties. It is an innovative concept that might revolutionize the way we trade.

BitShares

According to BitShares, cryptocurrencies can be viewed as shares in businesses with an eye toward maximizing profits by producing the most value possible at the least possible cost.   These businesses have come to be known as Decentralized Autonomous Companies (DACs). BitShares is a step further toward creating decentralized companies with greater accountability thanks to the blockchain.

Darkcoin

Proponents of Bitcoin often focused on its anonymity. After the closure of Silk Road, it became clear that Bitcoin is not as anonymous as it was perceived. Darkcoin tries to restore anonymity and provide a reliable service to the users. By implementing DarkSend, innovation in the protocol that mixes coins and enables anonymity, Darkcoin became one of the rare truly anonymous solutions available.

Namecoin

Namecoin developers were interested in building a general data-value store. Namecoin leverages Bitcoin’s monetary-value store but focuses more on additional information which can be stored, such as a domain name system or an identification/authorization database. It is yet another potential use of Bitcoin protocol that might have wide application in the future.

Ripple

In Ripple, users make payments between themselves by using cryptographically signed transactions denominated in either Ripple’s internal currency named XRP or in arbitrary other assets (including real-world assets such as dollars, gold, air miles etc.). Therefore users and merchants can make transactions quickly and without effort. The Ripple system connects many major players in the finance world and creates a viable ecosystem.

Conclusion

There are many other currencies out there. When we look in the past and see the situation on the market for PC’s in the 1980s, it reminds of the current cryptocurrency market. Many competitors tried to sell their own PC brand, but in the end Apple and Microsoft won the market. Maybe in the next several years we see something similar happening in the crypto world. Until then, we should keep our eyes open, so that we don’t miss new Microsoft.

It's very tiring to hear the "DRK elite club anthem" being sung so often by so many. There are three rules that are going to ensure DRK is successful:

1. Adoption
2. Adoption
3. Adoption

We need lots and lots of "average users" because it's adoption that will make it fly and fly high.

So georgem, while I can understand some of what you're inferring in relation to committed users in it for the long haul, I think your statement "F**k the average user" is the very epitome of what we DON'T want to do. We want to encourage all manner of people to take an interest in Darkcoin and learn why financial privacy (and eventually online privacy) is fundamental to a free society. We want these average users to be able to explain this to their friends and family. We want average people to become aware of what governments and big business the world over take from them on an hourly basis and how they can use Darkcoin to protect themselves and support financial liberty.
