Can more people please come join us at LotteryPool?  We have a weekly lottery from half the pool fees, which are only 1% so effectively 0.5% pool fees with the fun of a lottery to look forward to.

The owner has upgraded to a faster/more reliable server and I haven't seen any down time yet!  It's working smooth as silk ATM, so come join us!!!  The more people we have, the larger the lotto pool/winning and the funner it is to mine!!!!

Hi TanteStefana....I'll come over a spread some love!  I've only got 3 machines...as I'm still waiting on my 2 new 2x 290x machines to arrive....I'm going to want to see a calculator for that one of these days .

You are right on the money, however for the sake of argument let me retort by saying that DRK isn't necessarily a "BTC killer" to the individuals who value their privacy and use BTC for nefarious purposes. They already tumble their BTC and are hidden behind several VPN, how much more anonymity do they need? One could compare DRK to incognito mode in Chrome -- a step in the right direction, albeit a false sense of security. Am I wrong in this analysis?

Furthermore, I believe it is far out to compare any altcoin to BTC, which had first mover's advantage. As Mark Twain said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme."

Not a false sense of security if you listen to what the developer says and his goals for the coin.  The coin is to provide users with basic privacy.  Something we seldom get anymore this day and age.  It's not for doing illegal things and guaranteeing you a safety veil.  But anyone interested in seeing your personal spending and savings habits would have to be extremely persistent and put in an awful lot of time on it to figure you out.  They'd have to go way beyond nosy.

And nosy people are what this coin protects us from

Based on research and analysis, the only possible future high price will only around 0.0018 BTC forever.

Great!  Yah, the smaller the pool, the less often we see a block, but at the same time, the larger the block rewards!  We seem to be hitting about 8-12 blocks a day at the moment.  Not bad, it's not like you have to wait weeks for a block to hit   Though that's probably in our future, LOL

LOL. Evidence?

LOL, what research and analysis have you done?  Sounds like your inputs are faulty 

[maddi]

I haven't done this, so I don't know, but have you installed the prerequisites?

Which pool is down?  Come join us at http://lotterymining.com, I just checked and it is doing fine

BTW, if you are with Lotterymining, and you haven't been paying attention, the owner upgraded the server and has switched over everyone.  But don't panic, your miner should still have been mining at the old pool, and you need only to put in the new address of the new pool, then contact the owner to make sure any funds in the old pool are paid out.

Good point, we all need a bit more privacy online nowadays  

[TanteStefana]

http://pool.darkcoin.io is down

Oh, well come join us like I said, at http://lotterymining.com!  Same fee, but you get a lottery ticket for a weekly drawing for each day you mine with us   Doesn't cost any extra and it is fun!  Plus, the owner is really nice and active in our community!

Contrary to what everyone's saying in this thread, pump/dump is not bad for a coin.  It helps spread circulation of the coin and grow the community.

DRKcoin is already above a huge list of a hundred shitcoins that were pumped/dumped and which are slowly dying:

Some were totally uninventive clone coins
Some were clone coins with a small twist to make them different, but without adding anything major to the crypto ecosystem
Some were meme coins that inevitably become less "trendy"
Some were scams
Some were based on flawed economic reasoning (let's issue a few hundred billion coins, like forever, and see what happens)

...so what good did it do for these coins in the long run, that people got "acquainted" with them and then dumped them with a bitter taste?

Additionally how will the community benefit from people that have a 3-day to 2-week "investing" horizon and the constant praise or whine about the prices, depending if one pumps or dumps? These people are like bumblebees who go from flower to flower, expecting to get the nectar (profit from a later pump) and leave.

If you want to be as successful as Bitcoin is, you have to go with its low key approach where people found out about it and appreciated it for what it did and not because it was hyped (instead, it was attacked and said it'll never work for quite a while). Of course I'm not implying that the ROI horizon is like 5 years here, as cryptos are much more adopted right now and things move fast (top20 coinmarket attained in ~4 weeks without hype/spamming/sponsorships etc).

As I see it, the prospect of DRK is not to be a slightly successful coin for a 2 week pump and then die, but rather to become a genuine BTC alternative, if not a BTC killer for certain uses or certain individuals who value their privacy. It's, in a way, degrading for the coin to be treated like a pump&dump scam, creating negative perception.

Don't worry about people finding out... those who are looking at the altcoins are also looking at coinmarketcap. If they want to see why Darkcoin is where it is, and why it will be rising, they can come over here and see for themselves. And those who aren't looking, well, they'll hear what you have to say as something like spamming or, worse yet, ponzi scheme tactics.

It's a fundamental trait of human psychology to value more what you discover yourself, and be skeptical of promises that other make to you - as you are suspect of their motives. So why go against the flow of human psychology dynamics and not have them work in your favor? The only thing that is required for this to work is to have adequate internet presence when one looks you up in Google, ie a Wiki entry, a good coin page, an explanatory FAQ that explains the differences in <30 secs reading - stuff like that. The rest will follow.

Good post.

im mining DRK and .. SUN

2 different universes

[aNTi-Vlact]

If anyone is interested in contributing, I would like to put together a DarkCoin Mining Hardware Comparison list for the wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/DarkCoin). I've got a shell with my own info and would like to add more. The info I am looking to add is GPU (please be specific), kH/s, Core Clock, Memory Clock, Volts, Watts, which Miner is being used, the Config/bat, and Misc Notes (OS/Drivers/Temp). If you want to PM me your info I will get it added to my list.

??  What's wrong?

Some guy was spamming us with a ton of bad work.  Panicminer was the username, I deleted the account, I'm not sure if it was on purpose or not.
