anyone here heard about the instamine of 2m darkcoin ? i didn't understand it well, if some of the dev of this coin could explain this stupid story
i am holding about 10k dark and i hope this story isn't true ....

Here are some cliffs for you.
About 2mln got mined in the first 48h.
This was redistributed (sell) several times over.  
Early miners were selling for 0.00001, those who bought later, sold at 0.0001, now the price is 0.0012-0.0013.
All this lead to a fair distribution - no one is dumping now (no big/whale bagholders) and the price is stable for > 2 months at a respectable level.

Now if you are greedy, it is very easy to think:
"If I were at launch, I would have mined million and I would have waited until the price jumped to 0.002 and got rich quick.
I didn't so now I'll blame everyone as the world is unfair"

So it's very easy to get incorrect conclusions, especially if you can't think clearly.
The reality is, not one got rich quick, constant (40-60BTC/day on 1 exchange only) trading takes place - coins change hands and the best is still ahead.

still you didn't answer my question .... is there a dev here to reject these accusations? some people on other threads are asking for redistribution but i don't know how it can be done .... and if the dev agreed to redistribute these alleged 9% premine it's really a huge amount i must say and still if this is true as i am not good in lokking on the blockchain and searching for these kind of stuff
i just read on bitcointalk what people are saying and i must say i am bit confused with this story, so now i am thinking to sell 8k of them as soon as it gets from 1200(today)  to 1700.
i must say that it starts to smell a bit fishy imo but this is just my opinion. anyway who knows  perhaps this coin would be the next bitcoin in the futur! but with a 9%premine and changing from 80m to 22m coins, well i dunno if it's healthy for the futur sake of this coin

There is no "9% premined" or anything similar, premine is 0.0000%. And I must say this, you should learn about the coin before you invest 10BTC in it.

In any case, it's simple, read about the launch and more here (dev's post):

https://www.darkcointalk.org/threads/the-birth-of-darkcoin.162/

And once you finish you go dump your coins or hold them, that's up to you, but next time follow the right order, first read about the coin and once you know enough to have a proper opinion then invest.

DarkSend Beta v6.3 - v.0.10.3.3 (same)
- Updated required protocol version to kick the old masternodes off the network

https://www.darkcointalk.org/threads/darksend-beta-v6.226/

Great. That's 2 x 6.2 and 2 x 6.3 shots of Tequila tonight to mark progress.

Chaps and Mrs Robinson, posts might get a little ugly later  

DarkSend Beta v6.4 - v.0.10.3.3 (same)
- More stability fixes for masternodes
- Windows client will be pushed up soon

https://www.darkcointalk.org/threads/darksend-beta-v6.226/

works

Code:

./darkcoind masternode count
4

For some reason I can't send 1000 DRK from my windows wallet... any ideas?

You're going to have to be a little more specific, what happens when you try? Can you send a smaller amount?

lol, sorry about that. I can send 2 DRK to the same address, no problem. When I try to send 1000 DRK, I get a long pause, then an error message "transaction too large". I tried adding a 1 DRK transaction fee (that would have been a fun block to find!) but still the same error. It isn't the same type of error when it wants to send a transaction fee.

 Sounds like you might be using the Beta wallet and you have the Checkbox checked for Darksend, which in beta right now is limited to < 10DRK. Just uncheck the box and try.

That would do it too.

However if you aren't using the beta client, how many transactions (estimate) have you made? Would you say a lot? If so it is possible you have built up a lot of dust, and the total size of inputs required to get 1000 drk is too large. Not a common problem but it can happen.

If you have made a lot of transactions, run the command listunspent and let me know how many unspent outputs you have. (If using darkcoin-qt, go to the debug window and just type "listunspent". If running from CLI windows, "darkcoind.exe listunspent", or linux: "./darkcoind listunspent" Without the quotes in all cases.

I double checked, and I am not running the beta wallet on this system.

I probably won't count the number of transactions, but listunspent gave me a text file too large to put either here or on pastebin. Is there a specific keyword I should be looking for? this is my mining wallet, so I have a ton of "vout" transactions.

So, yes, that could well be the problem. How can I fix that?

Evan Duffield and Sauron.
This is one of the very few coins with the face and talent behind it:

Plenty more information on Darkcointalk.

Unfortunately no one heard from Sauron for a while.

The 2 million I think you are referring to was a misunderstanding. The dev proposed that what if hypothetically, at some point in the future, there would be a 2 million DRK block mined to his wallet, which he would then distribute to people. Then someone who apparently couldn't read English properly, thought that the dev wrote that he already had (pre)mined 2 million, and started spreading his interpretation as the truth. The proposition was quickly rejected by the community btw.

key hole

I don't like any Darkcoin logo that has a key hole. I don't like how it looks, and a key hole doesn't represent what's special about Darkcoin.

the winning new logo is good, it would be nice to compare some color variations like with blue, purple, green, or grey.

I like it as it is, simple, black and white. New poll for color variations ---> more time spent on this, let's settle for that one and select now a variation for the other products (DarkSend etc.).

Aright this is getting ridiculous. People aren't arsed to FUCKING READ and come here throwing their cocks about like someone owes them money. There is a goddamn front page with information but new faces just show up in here throwing tantrums. I don't know if its trolling or just plain entitlement.

[mahowi]

Based on the last 6 months, I've came to conclusion there are generally 6 types of alt coins. Most can lead to a good profit, but eventually only several will get stay for long.
List below - anyone can see which coins fits were - of course there will be exceptions - the trick is just to stick to the winning strategy.

1) Scam shitcoins.
Summary: Mostly clone code with very minor changes and outstanding marketing. Scam through IPO or big premine
Miners: Major interest. 99% of those who mine loose. Profit only for the ones who manage to sell before developer dumps when coin hits exchange
Investors: Some interest. 99% loose money

How to win - avoid.

2) Quiet shitcoins.
Summary: Mostly clone code with very minor changes and little to no marketing.
Miners: Never got a major interest. 99% of tose who mine loose. Lucky ones who manage to sell may make a small profit.
Investors: Never got interested. No pump. Only few trades, those who buy loose.
Price: None/rock bottom.

How to win - avoid.

3) Pump & Dump Shitcoins.
Summary: Mostly clone code with some changes and good marketing.
Miners: Major interest. 90% of tose who mine loose. Those who have no illusions and sell around the first and only pump - make an excellent profit - especially if mined early.
Investors: Major interest, Pump & Dump. Those who have no illusions and buy very early and sell around the first and only pump - make a good profit.
Price: Steady and rapid decline after initial Pump & Dump.

How to win - mine/buy early, sell without hesitation before/near peak.
As always, better safely sell at 80% peak than hold to long and be left with a bag of crap.

4) Investors (shit)coins.
Summary: Mostly clone code with some changes and excellent marketing (rapid reward decline, limited PoW phase, PoS only, catchy name etc.)
Miners: Mainstream interest - unless pure PoS. 99% of tose who mine loose. Those who mine and wait until slow pump gets on the good levels, make a good profit.
Investors: Mainstream interest. Constant attempts to shift the floor up until the investor/marketing potential is exhausted. Slower decline, crucial to buy early to profit but a good windows to sell.
Price: Slow Pump & Slow Dump.

How to win - mine/buy early, hold but carefully. Watch out for the twitter. Usually when "pumper" encourage to buy, that's the time to get out.
If you see the coin first time on a pumper twitter feed, it's usually too late for a decent profit, and could be very risky.

5) Real alternative coin - lacking marketing
Summary: Major change and interesting, new innovations. Lacking marketing.
Miners: Minor to major interest. Most of those who mine win. Selling too early is a safe way to profit - if the innovations are not enough (along with lacking marketing) to spark interest, however if successful can lead to expotential profits.
Investors: Mediocre interest. Minor pumps. Those who buy in very early are guaranteed good profit, again, if successful can lead to expotential profits.
Price: Steady with possible pump/attempts, but resisting to it

How to win - as (4) mine/buy early, hold but carefully.

6) Real alternative coin
Summary: Major change and interesting, new innovations. Good marketing and strong community
Miners: Major interest. All of those who mine win. Selling at any level gets profit, but holding can lead to expotential gains.
Investors: Major interest. No clear pump & dump, prices more stable than any other group. Buying at any level can lead to expotential profits.
Price: Steady with possible pump/attempts, but resisting to it

How to win - just find the right coin and get in.

Unfortunately DarkCoin is of category 5. It is new and innovative. But there's no real marketing. While it is the first coin with X11 and DGW other coins with better marketing benefit from its innovations.

This coin is now nearly 3 months old and most of this enormous thread is about new logos and possible name changes.

I think there should be a clear statement from Evan against all this rumours about possible premine in the OP as well as on darkcoin.io.
I know there's been no premine and so on, but there will always be people like e.g. reda who heard of it and will be uncertain if it's the right coin to invest in.

Just my 0,02 DRK.

Marketing is overrated.

[mahowi]

Marketing is overrated.

I don't mean we need TV commercials and banner ads. 

But if there are all this bad rumours and no clear statement with the facts against it, this is real bad marketing. There will always be the trolls who shout SCAM in every new altcoin thread. But if they are the only ones you see you won't invest in this coin. And noone reads about 700 pages to get all the facts.

There will be the marketing of the word for sure when the darksend will enter from beta on public mode. Be prepared.

I will be very happy if the price go up to 10$ ;-)

10$?I think it will go to 100$,then to the moon
