[ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency

[oblox]

You people thinking it was solely Evan making the decision need to get a clue. I'm happy the uncertainty over whether or not a new merchant will be interested isn't immediately setup on a weak foundation because they automatically associate the word Dark negatively. It's the right move. In the fallout, we may have lost a few good people but now the doors open for more individuals.

Common people DRKmy brain is dead withdraw your cash duuurp etc..

Can you please stop shitposting, no one wants to hear your retarded ramblings.

agree with the darkcoin name being  toxic on tv they always associated Darkcoin as a coin for criminal use not to surprise the they decided to change the name but it sucks the way they went about it because many who thought they part of the team got burnt with there darkcoins lol. That is why some big holders are piss off wahaha

Who decides if darkcoins name should be changed.

Ultimately the market decides but it will need sometime to make up its mind.  I truly believe this is for the best and I am more excited than ever to call on businesses for Dash, it will be fun. I will work full time calling to businesses to adopt Dash for the next few months. It is a way easier sell, when I propose Dash people will wait to understand what it is. When I call for Darkcoin they make up their mind before I have time to explain.

My experience exactly Minotaur. The name is toxic beyond toxic. It would never have achieved anything like the adoption the world deserves to experience with this technology with the Darkcoin name.

It's interesting reading the past few pages. Many of the people that are screaming and baling are also people that openly talk about dark market adoption and express excitement about how this is going to really push Darkcoin to new and higher levels. For me, Evan's announcement virtually directly tackles this, an absolute inhibitor of his work being taken seriously by the mainstream and an absolute guarantee that (with the Darkcoin name) he would eventually be characterised as a criminal and friend of the illicit drug industry, terrorists and pedophiles.

For the many that are really pissed off, you've all been so happy to be associated with Evan and you've all been so thrilled with his work, but now when he takes steps to ensure survivability of his work, protect himself and his family's reputation, you scream and throw your toys out of the pram. Really, that's a selfish and terribly narrow minded response.

I'm very happy Evan's taken this action. Yes, it's taken guts and it's causing a temporary shuffling of the deck chairs of who's involved, who's no longer wanting to be here (with considerable short term disruption/upset) but he's too good a developer, an entrepreneur and a human being to be taken down (as he inevitably would have been) as the head of the nefarious and illegal activity promoting "Darkcoin".

As Dash, the future is exciting and we'll enter thousands of realms we never would have come even close to as Darkcoin.

Great work Evan; onwards and upwards!

Agreed. You're never going to win 100% of the community with a move such as this but those that made the tough choices are the ones that actually see the long-term picture.

So tell me you got 1k $ or euro in ur bag of DRk tell me pls because ur nonsense isnt worth shit

I done nee to tele u nuffin....i fink ur lame poast is worf efen les

Exactly so ur post is worth nothing ur only trying to get more $$$ in ur pocket well let me tell u this u wont get any u will lose alllll!

What does Evan actually mean by this?

"Personally I believe the 1-tier approach used by Bitcoin and other currencies isn’t as powerful as a 2-tier approach. I also believe the no one besides a few people have even yet to understand what a 2-tier cryptographic currency is capable of."

[ahoenk]

ok... i will accept the name changed, but i think it will down to 0.007XX before it mass adoption...and fireworks

Not having a clue is the problem... There needs to be more transparency. Nothing should be a "shock" like this, we expect more from a coin that is much more mature than all the crap out there.

I believe he means the blockchain and the masternode network, but i could be wrong?

Evan has been mentioning something like "Working on a better narrative to better compete with btc and ripple" for a while now, I'm actually trying to find the posts now.

[k0vic]

deff the most patient community for a coin there is. That does tell alot.

[Foerster]

The sell support is weak, about 16 btc take is us to .0120.

It has been proven today that genuine buy support is also pretty anemic. It faded away as soon as the walls got annihilated.
Imho the buy walls were the only reason Darkcoin took off in the first place.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvaTjJpoQlg#t=0m11s

That is purely technical it means having the masternode network has a lot of potential.

I'm not in any position to acquire more Dash at the moment, so you're completely wrong. I'm considering the enormous potential for the future and Evan's ability to avoid the extraordinary mud and savage character assassination that would have inevitably been part of his experience if we'd stayed with the name Darkcoin. It is an entirely valid move.

You won't lose anything unless you panic sell. The name change has assured we will go way way beyond anything even remotely possible with the name Darkcoin.

Dude if you were truly wanting to buy, wouldn't you wait for those that want to exit to exit so you can buy in?

[Belligerent Fool]

Celebrate 1 Year in the cryptoworld as "DarkCoin", wait a couple of months then rebrand to "Dash" causing confusion amongst others just because the word "Dark" sounds Illegal compared to what the coin serves a purpose for.

Seems like DRK is fading into the background and copying what the majority of coins do after 1 year (Change their name lol, OMG this new name is so innovative)

We all know otoh is the reason why DarkCoin Pumps........... it's blatantly obvious + the majority of Masternode holders are the ones that mined in the very early days with no DGW difficulty !

The only ones that say this is FUD and accuse people are the ones that have invested into the coin and are hoping it will rise due to hype then cash out, rinse and repeat !

[solo20]

question any update from Evan about the name change this is the part that has always sucked about the darkteam everyone is left in the dark no pun intended

[Kuriso]

agree with the darkcoin name being  toxic on tv they always associated Darkcoin as a coin for criminal use not to surprise the they decided to change the name but it sucks the way they went about it because many who thought they part of the team got burnt with there darkcoins lol. That is why some big holders are piss off wahaha

im going to type this out fast.  i have to leave so I hope it makes sense.

"In other news Dash, once known as Darkcoin, has been associated with the deep web and drug dealers...."  

LOL if you think a name change can get rid of its history you a wrong.  There was never any thing wrong with Dark.  Its all how you want to market it. If you never liked the name, why did you ever get started with the coin?  when it was launched it had nothing to offer.  It was a name.  now the name is going but it will always be "Darkcoin".  To say the name is toxic is to say the coin is.  You will never be able to separate the two when DRK/Dash is used for something illegal.

[Minotaur26]

The only ones that say this is FUD and accuse people are the ones that can tell this is FUD.

Exactly, this is clearly FUD
