Wow...blackcoin time bombed forcing hard fork

http://www.blackcoin.co/wallet-2/official-statement-regarding-blockchain-problems-23rd-of-march/

[sdersdf2]

Idea for a video for Darkcoin:

1.  Different people holding up their credit card statements and checkbook:

- Person 1: "I bought a 10 inch dildo"
- Person 2: "I just bought my herpes medication"
- Person 3: "My husband and I just booked a trip to Cancun and won't be home for three weeks"
- Person 4: "I just donated to Planned Parenthood and the rest of my family is Pro Life"
- Person 5: "I just purchased three ounces of gold I'm keeping in my home"
- Person 6: "I just purchased a movie that is anti-government"
- Person 7: "I just donated to a politician most of my neighbors hate"
- Person 8: "I just bought tickets to a co-splay convention"
- Person 9: "I collect Magic the Gathering Cards and just bought $1,000 worth"
- Person 10: "I just signed up for chocolatecoveredfeet.com"

And any others the community can come up with.

2.  On the screen comes up, "Your checking account and credit cards are no longer private.  Neither is Bitcoin.  We are proud to present the only privacy centric, ANONYMOUS cryptocurrency:

DARKCOIN

For 2., I'd suggest removing any jargon. Make it as plain English, short and catchy as possible:

On the screen comes up:
--Face it...
--Your checking account and credit card spending aren't private...
--Neither is Bitcoin...
--To keep your online spending private, there's only one way to pay...

--DARKCOIN
The world's only coin for anonymous transactions

Well those exponential rises always scare me!

No reason to sell until DarkSend is completely finished and the coin has been marketed. No reason at all

Seems that it should be horizontally mirrored so that the bottom of the lock forms a D (for Darkcoin), other than that it's bad ass.  Anxious to see others.

Edit: although the "shrink wrapped" look has fallen out of favor lately (see iOS and windows 8, among others).

I find this VERY interesting. Thank you!

If you have the time/patience, I'd love to see the same analysis done on the first 4k blocks, and then compare the two.

[humanitee]

I've submitted a design brief to designcrowd.com, and some interesting designs are coming in. Here's a peek at one of the submissions:



Currently at 413 / 600 DRK for logo design fundraising.

Xc8xGSP7FwWGPQpgw298z7NYdA8xJK8ooh

Seems that it should be horizontally mirrored so that the bottom of the lock forms a D (for Darkcoin), other than that it's bad ass.  Anxious to see others.

Edit: although the "shrink wrapped" look has fallen out of favor lately (see iOS and windows 8, among others).

Am I the only one who hates the lock and key designs? Darkcoin has nothing to do with locks, unless we associate it with prison.

Think that having a lock is meant for it to show "secure"?

About the design.

Flip the K   so it's Darl<coin - dar>Icoin so dark is more than a coin not less

Conveys the security of the coin as far as I'm concerned, but I see your point.  A lock or a shield are quite common themes for companies dealing with anonymity services (eg VPN sites) or identity protection (LifeLock, for example).

TOR uses an onion, but that's a slightly different concept.

If you have the time/patience, I'd love to see the same analysis done on the first 4k blocks, and then compare the two.

That's another story, because local darkcoind dosn't have tx record for the first 4k block.

I don't want to mess up with precious block explorer.

Am I the only one who hates the lock and key designs? Darkcoin has nothing to do with locks, unless we associate it with prison. 

I completely agree with you.
It might look slick, but gives me a prison feeling instead of liberation and freedom.

Lot's of anonymity-related companies use lock and key... It might be overused.

But I like that the crowdsourcing is coming up with some interesting designs - hopefully this is just the first of many.

[Standhaft]

We also have a new look for the subreddit, courtesy of Standhaft.

As soon as the new logo is done, I'll overhaul it with its color scheme and logo and if someone has suggestions I'm sure we can do something  

[LimLims]

But I like that the crowdsourcing is coming up with some interesting designs - hopefully this is just the first of many.

They say to expect around 60 designs, so hopefully that pans out.

I'd like to see something "dark" related, akin to a surveillance apparatus peering at a blockchain that isn't linked together or something, idk, anything original would be great. I hope we get a lot of submissions on the crowdsourcing, I'm anticipating some great concepts.

Darkcoin will feature two pages in the book called Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative" the Beginner's Reference

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=483187.new#new


Please donate to the below Darkcoin wallet address in order to help fund this project:

XwMJKu5JPpqzHgrXpkb91baGufPrNtuhUT

It will have 2 pages similar to this:





If you spot any spelling or grammar errors, these are easily sorted.  I do have a full time job as well as trying to get this project completed too.
