Vault of Satoshi is Closing February 5th, 2015

Vault of Satoshi will be closing on February 5th, 2015. Although new deposits will no longer be accepted, rest assured, you will have plenty of time to finalize any trades and withdraw any outstanding funds with all of the convenience and expeditiousness that you’re used to. Please ensure that all of your withdrawal requests are submitted by February 5th.

We expect there will be some speculation as to why the Vault is going to be sealed forever, and we’d like to reassure the community that it has absolutely nothing to do with insolvency, stolen funds, or any other unfortunate scenario. To this day we are proud to have run the first full proof-of-reserve exchange in the industry, with strict compliance and security regimes. Our decision stems from opportunities presented by a new business that has forced us to reexamine our priorities.

Our founders and team of developers began work on a new, non-cryptocurrency project about 6 months ago, which has since become quite successful. We are forced to make a choice on where to expend our efforts, as we simply do not have time to continue operating both businesses. We feel splitting our focus would be a disservice to the customers of Vault, so although our competitors may lack some of the features, currencies, and innovations that Vault brought to the Canadian market, they will serve you well for your basic exchange needs.

We are still true-believers, and think Satoshi Nakamoto has set in course something that will change the world for the better. Thank you loyal Vault customers for joining us on one of the most exciting adventures of our time! There’s no doubt that this is just the beginning, and we will continue to watch from the sidelines as history unfolds, with Bitcoin becoming more understood, accepted, and appreciated every day.

Sincerely,
The Vault of Satoshi Team

Damn. I enjoyed using your services. Word on the street is that one of the Darkcoin community members wants to buy this exchange. We'll see how it works out...

I just kicked off 16 rounds of darksend on 300+ DRK.   Can't wait to see how this goes.

Oh...
This should be great, and making possible the DRK/xxx exchange for lots of coins.. (like LTC/xxx in cryptsy for exemple)

Darkcoin Core was released a couple of hours ago, I think you may need to wait for the network to update.

It started, I have a large pending balance now.  I picture all my DRK floating through the air just like WonkaVision did in the original movie.  *Squee!*

This is really cool and so much faster now.  It's now been resubmitted to a masternode and is waiting for more participants, then it's going to go for round 2 I'm guessing?

I'm certain waiting for others won't be an issue once the masses are using this.

Updated mn and clients without problems, just takes long to connect if peers.dat wasn't deleted.

Thanks, I was expecting Instant X to come first but this also great , Evan was already testing InstantX correct  ?

LTC has a "fundamentals" problem. No one needs to badmouth it or hate it so that it can self-destroy itself.

I said, back when LTC cost 10$ per coin, that 28800 coins per day X 10$ = 288.000 USD per day = 105mn USD per year required just to buy annual production.

You sit there and ask yourself: Are there people who are willing to buy >100mn USD worth of Litecoins over a year just to keep its price steady? If the answer is no, then you better buy something else. It's really that simple.

Then BTC also had a fundamental problem in 2012 when it was also making 50 coins every 10 minutes.

It still had 4 times less coin generation than what LTC currently has... and it was also the benchmark coin, not just a coin.

I'm not saying that LTC was not overvalued, i'm just saying that this is the correction and that if people want it and see its value they will buy it. The same argument can be applied to any alt- "are you willing to spend X amount a year to ensure that the price stays X"- the market responds as it does. To get the DRK price to $4 you would need to invest more money into the DRK ecosystem a year than it is currently, so why is that fundamental notion a benefit to DRK yet a disadvantage to LTC?

Inflation is a huge factor in cryptocurrencies, at least as long as the investment money flowing into crypto is relatively limited.

DRK is rarer than both LTC and BTC, in market cap, coins generated per day and max coins that will ever be mined. Its upward momentum is easier as measured by price per unit. That's aside from other things that DRK can do (which LTC can't).

Sh*t. This stuff is awsome.

10 developers ? (/people)

That blows me away.

I'm going to pretend that I'm that Daniel A

Seriously, I'm so impressed by this release.  We're lucky to have the team and community that we do.

Now...lets get our MNs updated and put darksend through its paces!

Inflation is a huge factor, but it is simply a matter of someones coding decision and should not be confused with rarity in the real world sense, in which physical things cannot be conjured into existence. DRK is rare because it was designed like that; although rarity does not automatically mean valuable. The point is that "numbers" are just that, numbers-"rarity" is set but it is really the markets decision to decide if something rare is valuable.

Yes, DRK can do things that LTC cannot do, but in the same vein LTC can do a few things that DRK cannot do, like be accepted at a lot more merchants. I'm not bashing DRK or praising litecoin, merely stating that DRK has qualities that set it apart from LTC in a great way, but beyond the sphere of the cryptocommunity and the darkmarkets, where does it stack up for mass adoption?

MNs updated here. Good to see over 15% have already updated, pretty good going Congrats to the whole team for such a fantastic achievement with this release. It's a major step forwards for DRK and surely cements our position in crypto as one of the top alts out there.
