How about on Darkcoin's first birthday we all buy exactly 1.01 darkcoin, i would love to see a storm of 1.01 drk buy orders getting unleashed on the exchanges that specific day. In the end we can maybe donate those drk's to charity somehow, after having picked a good charity case.

I'm with KryptoFoo, this is not a good idea. Investors reading this thread will not take well to this kind of thing in the community. Please end this planning, now.

This community is highly regarded, and I promote that fact all the time. Don't ruin our reputation, just have patience. DRK will rise organically over time with more merchant and customer adoption...

All of this.

Investors........ as well as every troll in Mordor that will have a field day.

For this to work, I'd recommend  something like this, a very trusted person to receive, hold and coordinate all funds and bids, you PM them for a deposit address, so the total is secret, he/she then buys &/or puts walls, all coins bought would be put in to new Masternodes and held for 6 months or better one year, with rewards re-invested in extra MN, after the time period everyone gets their coins plus what ever they've made over the time period proportionally.

I like this idea but it needs a lot lot of trust.

Or simply lets put the 0.006 buy wall and see if a seller will dump on it.

questions about the daemon's that are down on Elbereth's page (https://drk.mn/masternodes.html) :

I assume they are servers that seem to monitor.. something ? What exactly are they and how vulnarable
are they ? (right now 2 deamons seem to be down.. are they ddos ? or just down ?).
What would happen if all 4 daemons would be down at the same time ?

[toknormal]

Today I just recovered about 500 BTC that I had on Stamp, touch wood as I've left them there still in USD for now, the last few days it hasn't been at all sure if I would ever see them again, so I may well do some celebratory DRK buying on it's anniversary

We should have a day where everyone goes into Cryptsy/Bitfinex/etc and doubles their sell orders price. Would that even work?  It's a pretty interesting thought experiment.

yes! there's nothing wrong with some voluntary collusion to raise the price, that's fair to do and I like the idea. how about announcing a "suggested price" of 0.02 BTC, or $5.70? that would put Darkcoin ahead of Dogecoin, where it belongs. and it might get us some useful attention.
value is whatever we decide it is, and DRK is obviously undervalued. those of us sellers who need the short-term $ and are regularly selling for below what we think our Darkcoins are worth should encourage each other to force the price up to a higher level, which will end up getting us paid more for our coins. how about it?

Yes it is important.
You guys are talking about collusion, price rigging, and market manipulation. Besides that this a silly idea that will never work, it is probably illegal and will only end badly with innocent people losing money. Anyways, I think it was started as a joke and should have never been taken seriously.
DRK stands on its own merits in a free market. The end.

I disagree. it's not illegal or wrong to voluntarily collude. DRK owners can sell or not sell at whatever price they want, and if buyers want DRK, they must pay the price a seller is willing to sell at. it's supply and demand, the market is free and fair. imo, voluntary collusion is fair game.

ruin our reputation? because some people agree with each other (just take each other's advice) not to sell their Darkcoins at an undervalued price? that's ridiculous.

this strategy is fair game and won't tarnish Darkcoin's reputation at all. if it succeeds? great! if it fails? oh well, no change.

investors are anonymous buyers and sellers in a market, and they can base their decisions on whatever they want. intelligent people will make their valuations on Darkcoin's real value, which we know is great.

if you want to discourage collusion, you're trying to regulate this free market. who are you to prohibit communicating or advising people? imho, it's you who want to force (non-voluntarily) a certain price.

They are just that - running daemons (wallets basically, maybe but not necessarily Masternodes) from which elbereth's scripts extract all (most anyway) of the information that is displayed on his site.

The world will not come to an end if they all stop, if that's what you are worried about, the data displayed on the site will just not get updated.

[r-ando]

I bought 3000 DRK at price 0.008 !
What am i do ? Sell them or hold them ? someone please give a prediction of the future of DRK Coin

Accumulate Darkcoin, tell people about Darkcoin, share Darkcoin, trade with Darkcoin and Darkcoin will change your world. That is the future of Darkcoin, it will change the world.

Oh well, if you guys are seriously going to do this, Godspeed and I hope it works out for you. I still think it may do more harm than good, but I have been wrong before, and will again.

I will continue my DRK PR in my own way, just passed 1450 followers yesterday!

We are #Darkcoin, even if we don't always agree...

From your post history I see that you were on Amir Taaki's Britcoin.
I bought first btc there. I just wish I bought a little bit more at that time

[jiggytom]

Yep, he and Britcoin were a bit of a disaster, though you couldn't knock the prices

Total Balance 1,002 BTC

1,002 BTC @ $3.10 = $3,106

$3,106 + $25 cash (free profit from Bitcoinica) = $3,131

$566.68 shorting on Bitcoinica

Spent 9 Dec 2011

4 Btc spent on photoshopping of cat's tail gif (replaced 24 Jan 2012)

Mt.Gox

15 Dec 2011

Replaced $566.68 lost gambling
Invested $50 = £32.50 additional funds

(Note: Balance held on Dwolla $93.07 not counted)

Summary 15 Dec 2011
872 + 300 + 300 = 1472 Btc  @ $3.166 = $4,659 + $17.50 + $33.50 = $4,710 balance
Invested $4,800 + $50 = $4,850 (not counting loss of $567 replaced) less 4 coins spent = $4838
So total loss atm = $128 or $695 if count gambling loss
Need a Btc price of $3.25 or $3.64 icgl to break even

15 Dec 2011

Invested £1,000 = $1,550 additional funds

Wish list
In Feb 2012 add $15,150 ish (bring total invested to $22,000)
& buy 4,750 Btc to bring total to about 6,300 or 0.03% of the 21 M total
that is if the price doesn't go up before then
then buy at least 3 Casascius 1,000 Btc gold coins (Ed & Eliz + Hanna)
5 would be better so 2 to sell in Europe conferences, TSR or Spink say

Bought 20 Dec 2011 - Intersango
378.78 @ $4.13

Summary 20 Dec 2011
872 + 678 + 300 = 1850 Btc @ $4.10 = $7,585 + $17.50 + $33.50 =$7,636 balance
Invested $6,400 (not counting loss of $567 replaced)
So total profit atm = $1,236 or $669 if count gambling loss
Break even price now $3.44 or $3.74 icgl

- Wish list didn't work out as planned unfortunately...
