I believe the logo must be totally simple and remarkable, that is easy to remember and reproduce somewhere else. I think the logo should be just a letter D with some high tech font and maybe 1 or 2 vertical line(s). The logo must be visible in a very small size, must be seen nice on any background. What you guys have shown is pretty good and will be useful, but not as a logo of a new currency.
I tend to agree. I'll put my money where my mouth is and offer 200DRK for something that is professional and powerful... if it's awe-inspiring 300DRK. Let's look at this from a very fresh new prospective. Anything kitchey or gimmicky is may be appropriate for doge(eek) of cat or whatever awful plethora of crap coins that exist. is there a reason why we are having to stick with this tacky coin shaped logo...? Q2C has a great design and fresh(don't know that crypto just speaking about the design). IMHO this coin should embody the professional and sophistication of something that is worthy of doing my most trusted and sensitive not only personal but corporate transactions. Transactions such as buying real-estate, equipment to transferring wealth of your families estate type the next generation. I think the logo is just fine... If you want something more "professional and sophistication of something that is worthy of doing my most trusted and sensitive not only personal but corporate transactions. Transactions such as buying real-estate, equipment to transferring wealth of your families estate type the next generation. " You should change the name as well...(But please...Don't!) Darkcoin has something mysterious about it...we should play that out... I'm only providing ideas for thought from my own viewpoint. It will be the natural evolution of cryptocurrencies as the ecosystem matures. Time may well prove me wrong... I don't claim to know all the the answers and I'm certainly not wanting to step on the dev toes. All I can say is that what we currently have does not reflect the image of a currency that potentially will have a market cap of 500 million to a billion dollar value in the next couple of years. again IMHO. |

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Darkcoin has something mysterious about it...we should play that out...
I don't think "Dark" is about mysterious here. It is about confidence and security. Something reliable, math-confirmed. When you say "mysterious", I hear "hard to use, too complex, one more weird toy for tech-geeks". |

Vertcoin (VTC) Is an example of a clean design, the website is smartphone friendly, information is clear and concise, the logo is iconic in nature. not a plug for the currency. But it's simple yet quite professional in appearance. I think this discussion should be held in conjunction with the dev team outside of a general forum panel. Can someone start a forum for us to take this discussion into and actually really start addressing the core brand image development? thanks |

I wonder if we can pay a graphic designer in DRK. |

Hey guys... And Dev team. I want to help out in terms of popularity an SEO - Social Network Links, Backlinking and all that I have experience in this field. I also have a huge email list in the IM niche and starting new campaigns on Bitcoins and most importantly DARKCoins. That being said, www.drkcoin.com is part of this project. It is not complete nor is it a competition. It is a portal to the main website. I also touched up the logo a bit. I am not here for copyright or any trademark abuse. I am a fan of this coin, I hold many and I want it to succeed. I am open to ideas and suggestions but before I put real work into this I want to know if its okay with the dev team. Cheers, Ty.  Do you guys like the Darker Darkcoin?  or  This is all very bad. The website looks like it was made in 1999 and the logos are not 'enhanced' in any way. I really get that your intentions are good but if googling darkcoin brings people to that page, it will make this coin look like trash. I saw you in the c-cex chat box talking about being good at webdesign etc... We don't need to adopt a teenage aesthetic. The Dev's branding is already spot on. |

Sgminer isn't working properly. RPM/temps/hashrates are bouncing all over the place, WU is 0 and accepted 0 as well... 5 MH/s on the miner and on the pool as well. Any idea what might be causing this? Using the example-280x .bat as is, with worker/user/pass configured of course.
Update: I got 3 280x Powercolor cards, seeing 5.1 MH/s on the miner but the HR on the pool is fluctuating a lot.

If they're confirmed I'll let you know... as long as they're rolling in, and temps are at a freezing 50c on all 3 cards, I've got nothing to complain about lol |

 I adjusted the colors and altered the design in the center of the logo. (The subtle blurred separation in the dark diagonal bar across the center is intentional to represent anonymized un-linked transactions.) -onetime EDIT:    |

Lol, I can really imagine old ladies using that coin to shop at a grocery store. Hello sir, I will be paying with the demonic, fireball currency today. Maybe a sweet wallet picture to go along with it:  Now that you mention the wallet, the QT wallet could perhaps be tweaked to become darker  I think when the time is right to add the "Darksend" button to the application, it can also be enhanced to include the option for a dark theme  |

Here's a quick n dirty concept for a minimalist logo I did for a bit of fun. Boring colours, I know.  |

It's a crude conversion of normal sgminer just so that it can play with the darkcoin hashing algorithms. The conversion apparently produced quite a few bugs especially in the reporting aspect of the program ("null", "0" difficulty, no A: diff etc). So you are not doing something wrong, it's just the way the program works. |

I contacted the mods of /r/cryptocurrency about getting us linked in their sidebar. We need at least 200 subscribers before they'll put us there. So go subscribe if you haven't already! http://www.reddit.com/r/DRKCoin/ |

Not to be too much of a perfectionist tinkerer, but........... I would like to see a sort of broken "splintered plank" effect on the diagonal bar. Kinda like....  Just sayin. |

I know it needs 120 confirmations, but how long does that normally take? |
