IGNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE

Come on coin101, lets have some more female into dark
my wife just said she wanna be in ahhh that dark

Genitalia != Brains

I don't care what they have between their legs. I care that they have brains enough to figure out the value of these massive innovations, and the failures of what they're using right now.

I care not to comment on the demographic deltas that emerge from this metric. It speaks for itself.

You can't force people to be smart with marketing. Quite the contrary; marketing only works on stupid people.

Simply making people aware is worth it, tho. 99.9% of your hits will fall on deaf ears, but that 0.1% is always worth it.

Thanks, Camo.

I like it! I'll use it.

Actually, I was wondering if we could use the Master Nodes to host a decentralised Escort Agency?

Now I would love to attract them ladies.....

I think it's called porn. Close enough for most people. See: TitCoin, WankCoin.

Doesn't help since you have to meet face to face anyway... No anon. Maybe, if you deny all transaction occurrence... But then she just takes your money, like every other woman. So why bother? Same results as not taking the prison risk?

It almost requires a middle man pimp, but then it can still be a vice op... I think it'd have to be a pay-after deal to work out... That's how they do it in Thailand anyway, to ask for it up-front is just crazy.

I was also thinking of a decentralised chat roulette sexy cam thing....with some level of feedback that could be relied upon so you don't get crap.

This is girl power, powered by DRK.

Imagine a woman goes to a website to discreetly buy a pregnancy test...

It’s sometimes easy to forget that many things about crypto are frequently not well understood by the general public. It needn’t matter when buying alpaca socks, but when it's a transaction where privacy matters the facts should be made clear. It’s well known that many users don’t understand that they’re broadcasting their financial activities to the world. By assuming that customers will just automatically know this, businesses are negligently exposing customers and clients to privacy risks.

Any business selling a product or service where privacy may be important, and accepting non-private crypto as payment, has an ethical obligation to clearly explain the implications of this for their customers' privacy.
_______________________________________________________________________________ _____

Do you agree, and if so, what would be the best way of getting the message across?

We would need to handle it carefully. Here’s what we don’t want to do:

• We don’t want hurt crypto or give people another reason to bash it. Non-private crypto is perfectly fine as long the businesses show due diligence in protecting customer privacy by ensuring they are being made aware of the implications. But at the same time, it’s good and right to highlight legitimate concerns and risks that customers & businesses face when using non-private cryptos. It’s about making sure customers are rightly informed of the issues and that alternatives exist.
• We don’t want to bring the law into it, except perhaps as a counterargument to FUD about the legal status of private crypto. Yes, business that ask customers to pay in non-private crypto without explaining the implications to clients/customers when there's a reasonable expectation of privacy may be recklessly exposing themselves to legal implications in some jurisdictions. And not even bad laws either, valuable laws that protect the privacy of ordinary citizens. But business owners with intelligence will figure that out themselves, we don’t need to play that card. It should be about honest, well informed trade between free citizens. It's ironic though how private cryptos have been repeatedly beaten over the head with allegations of illegality and nefariousness by some supporters of non-private cryptos, when in truth it's the other way around.

This is excellent TsuyokuNaritai! This is precisely what we need more of. Your guidelines are just what is needed if DRK is to gain mainstream acceptance--totally positive, non-combative, informative and G-rated. Any one with a few technical skills can draw the eye with prurient copy, but it takes a real artist to develop buzz, interest, and anticipation. T & A will get the kids leering, but it is their parent's wallets that will determine whether DRK survives as the shunned tool of the disreputable, or the shinning knight who defends the privacy of ordinary citizens, and makes possible assistance to those suffering under totalitarian regimes. As has been oft stated; aficionados of gambling and porn will adopt DRK without our help, but if we encourage that market for the sake of rapid growth, we will offend and isolate the mainstream.

I certainly do not swim in the main stream, but I have a lot of experience sitting on its banks and watching the flow. The big fish (we want to catch) enjoy sex and pretty girls as much as the smaller ones, but have learned that power, freedom, and enjoyment are the rewards for service, discipline, and discretion. We would all do well to learn that lesson, no matter what stream we swim in.

Dazbarlby, your "Conversation of Jane & Bob," is masterful; easy to follow, brief and to the point. The "to be continued..." is wonderful, creating suspense and expectation. Various versions need to be posted in as many venues as possible. Think comics (mentioned already), live acted on youtube, animated, etc. The series should be branded... something along the lines of "Darkcoin Theater Theater presents: A conversation with Jane and Bob." "Darkcoin Theater presents: Jane and Bob at the Bank."  "Darkcoin  Theater presents: Jane and Bob go shopping." "Darkcoin Theater presents: Jane and Bob shop for fun things to do together." Which of course segues into  TsuyokuNaritai's idea above with "Darkcoin Theater presents: Jane and Bob get a pregnancy test." It seems I remember seeing we have a Classical composer in residence around here. He might be convinced to do the soundtrack. :-)

I'm starting to see a lot of possibility here, but need to run. I will try to post more specifically on DarkcoinTalk, when I get a chance.

In an effort to catch Dark Markets, such as the original Silk Road, a large govenrment/media sponsored campaign aimed at saying BitCoin was Anonymous was launched. We all know it isn't, but the point was to create an uproar while telling all the idiots that it was anon when it's not, so that they would get caught. It was a two-pronged attack. You first have to undo all that FUD... Most people who ahve heard of Bitcoin still think it's anonoymous when nothing could be farther from the truth... Your Bank Account is more private than BitCoin. A lot more private.

the only way people like this ever "learn" anything, is when the TV shoves propaganda and lies in their face. Then they "know" that.

Just continue to be awesome and those who are worth a shit will notice.

Why not just get the real thing, all of it, for free?

I'm sure there is a college town full of dumb, drunken sluts near you... Hell, just go to the supermarket... Chicks are everywhere, and they're giving it away to anything that even slightly resembles a penis... Why pay or break the law?

They're throwing it around like a Frisbee, all you gotta do is stand there and not say anything stupid.

True! But it is only private because of some laws and we know laws can [and will] be changed.

Darkcoin doesn't rely on any laws (except mathematical ones) and those don't change.

What was Darksent+ cannot be UnDarksent+  


EDIT: Damn quotes...

[coins101]

It ain't for me  

So, a while a go I did this head scratching thing and looked up some data.

Crypto is mostly male dominated (over 90%), generally weighted towards 25-35 (ignoring kids/Doge), most used for trading, gambling and buying stuff that males tend to want.

All the ingredients for DRK to flourish.  Instead of waiting, I'm happy to start thinking about making some DRK, by finding ways to get others to use DRK.

The DarkMarkets will be all over DRK soon enough. But there is room for other things.

Worse, the laws don't apply to the government. They made them, they never obey them, and they always exempt themselves anyway... The Only Ones.

But that's really not the point. Nothing at all can stop BitCoin from broadcasting every single detail about you money and what you do with it. It's designed to spread every tiny financial detail about you everywhere. It does this by design. It's what it was made to do. It's creator is hiding, but he designed it to expose you... DRK's designer is exposed, but he's designing it to enforce your 4th Amendment Rights and no one can violate it, not even the government.

The government often fancies itself capable of re-writing the laws of nature, but it always fails. Politicians pretend themselves to have god-like powers while declaring that god is dead... Voters adopt voting as the new prayer: "If we vote hard enough and often enough, the most corrupt people on earth, politicians and their henchmen, will become benevolent gods giving us free stuff forever!"

DRK, save me from your non-believers...

Nice! The whole article is a great read.
My favorite KA quote:
"It’s important to resist the temptation of neophilia and not skip over the importance of Bitcoin."

I have a heavy DRK bag, although not as heavy as camosoul's. My biggest holdings are DRK, NXT, and BTC. Recently I've been turning more fiat to BTC because I think KA is dead right. Bitcoin is 68% off its all-time high, and possesses deep long term value. The Winklevoss presentation highlights the importance of the ETF.  The ETF launch will essentially be another public offering of Bitcoin. Think of all the people you know who are confused by Bitcoin and don't know how to buy them now and safely store them over a long period of time. Yet those same people can easily call a broker or log onto Fidelity and buy 'COIN'.

I think we're all hoping that once Bitcoin goes supercritical, the major alts will follow suit.

Press Release Update.

Hello, Guys, just wanted to let you know that our press release for Open Source, will go out on Tuesday @ 3:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (US). This is based on recommendations from the news agency to raise the chances that our article is picked up by more publications. On Monday there is the backlog of all releases sent during the weekend and you compete with more people for an audience. It is also sent at 3 am so that journalists find it early when they get to their office. This is their experience so we are following the recommendations.


With regards to price expectations, I think we need to be reasonable, Darkcoin is moving beyond the speculative phase,  short term the price can move north or south based on the market forces, but our safest bet is to work hard to promote Darkcoin adoption by businesses and investors now that it will be open source. Dont get me wrong the price may jump as people are able to verify the code for themselves and recognize something special, but I dont think we should put the future of our investment in the hands of third parties. We have a great community so lets do a concerted effort to reach out and make Darkcoin a success, the product is of good quality we just need to get out and sell it.

I also think we should focus our promotion efforts outside of the crypto forums, lets promote Darkcoin outside on the real world.
