I think we should call this Big Monday (or Big Sunday depending on your time zone)!

if DarkSend works without any flaws, then DarkCoin will be better than Bitcoin. before all the other coins copy-and-paste the DarkSend code, we should really establish DarkCoin as the world's main crypto-currency. we need professional-looking user-friendly phone apps, paper wallets, video tutorials, promotional literature like brochures, ads, etc. and good social media presence. we need it to be totally simple and straight-forward for merchants and retailers to accept DRK and store it securely. and it would be nice to get DarkCoin on CoinMKT.com where you can buy and sell them for $USD with money orders or bank transfers.

actually, for a long time I've been enthusiastic about Megacoin, and I still am. but now that Eduffield and InternetApe are about to achieve the implementation of anonymity in DarkCoin's core protocol, I'm shifting a lot of my focus here now.

I made this video for Megacoin. (it was a LOT of work!) if I get enough extra time, I'd be willing to make some similar videos to promote DarkCoin once DarkSend is successfully implemented.




if DarkSend source is openly given out to the other coins, who knows if DarkCoin would benefit that much from having been the original anonymous coin, or if other coins with more of a head-start would just stay in the lead when they also implement it.

thinking about it now, maybe DarkSend's source code should be kept secret for quite a while. eventually it will need to be released of course, but so long as DarkCoin is the only anonymous coin, it will be better money than Bitcoin and will get adopted by the whole world. if the source is kept secret, I think DarkCoin price could go up to thousands of dollars per 1 DRK this year, adoption could spread like a wildfire, and, unlike Bitcoin, DarkCoin would be essentially unregulatable. transactions with DarkSend can't be easily tracked, they're just like physical private cash transactions.

financial anonymity is an inevitability. it's ultimately what everyone wants. outlawing and prohibiting this technology would be against the will of the people, just like alcohol prohibition was. eventually it just can't be stopped.

closed-source would require the world to trust DarkCoin's developers, but it's obviously in the devs' interests to develop a functional anonymous coin that's totally fair and square, especially since the code will eventually be released anyway. why would they try to rig it if that would just destroy the coin's value?

trusting DarkSend code seems to me like less of a stretch than trusting some of these Bitcoin and alt-coin exchanges with your real coins.

Someone just bought the whole sell book on c-cex. Poloniex can't be far behind, might be the last chance under .001

[AlexGR]

So youre saying i should buy a lot more of these is what youre saying :p

So they will rise more than 50c 100%?

1.25$ now so yes 100% 

[slyA]

Guys... Guys I need an older adult, preferrably in their 50's, to tell me how to feel about this. And hold my hand. WTF.

[HammerHedd]

Is it just me or has the network difficulty rate been bouncing around like crazy today?

OK, I answered my own question. Also, this is good information for anyone (like me an hour ago) who is curious about how the difficulty is different from most other coins:

https://forum.megacoin.in/index.php?topic=893.0

[AlexGR]

With this level of rise in coinmarketcap (and the graph showing +135%) it is a definite attention grabber.

[blaaaaacksuit]

Just went out to get dinner, and come back to all this, cant believe i missed that!

I busted the .0008 threshold on poloniex with 3btc and I think it caused a gusher....  like not 10 min later c-ex order book got bought up and then it bounced back to poloniex and it shot up too lol

I like that volume figure the most. It's not just tiny transactions raising the price. People are getting on board in a big way.

[fearcoka]

Im sure the price will slowly go down no one is buying that high

[TheGer]

with coin production slowing don't be so sure.  last night was getting over 10 coins an hour.  now im lucky to get over 1.

Please don't reopen this debate.  It has been decided to be released open source which is the correct decision.  A lot of money has been invested based upon that as many of us agree that closed source and anonymity will not work.

Thank you.

right, I know the majority of people here agreed it should be open-source, so that's the plan. but I think postponing the code's release until DarkCoin gets established as the world's best crypto-currency might be beneficial. I'm sure the developers will decide to do whatever is best.

I think your right.  About taking over bitcoin, a bit lofty.  But...how i've broken it up in my mind is: BTC as the holder of value, LTC ummm not sold on it....but its very mature, then DRK for financial transactions in real estate, financial institutions and bigger ticket items.(makes you think why the need for BTC)...  then something like FST for everyday fast small value transactions.  IMHO.

like to see what eduffield or internetape think about keeping this source closed longer?

Sorry for focusing on just that.  Everything else you posted is awesome, including the video   I'm glad you're on our side!
