Is there any way we can "invest" in DarkMarket? I'd like to think there will be a big boom in value off the start until people figure out its drawbacks.

DarkMarket was the result of a 48 hour hackathon of some sort.  If someone sends it into the wild, I'm sure it will still require a ton of testing for security.

On the other hand, this is something that could easily fit with our MasterNodes, because the bulky information could be stored on those nodes easily without becoming annoying to the wallet users.  In fact, the blockchain being hosted on masternodes will be incredible for Darkcoin.  Masternodes being plenty decentralized, can free up everyone's wallet!  Put those buggers to work, and make 'em pay for their income!  LOL

so many coins clone X11 algo
but the first X11-DRK only rise to 0.005BTC,and now it is only 0.0034BTC
does anything wrong?

The 10 coin cap is temporary, eventually you will be able to darksend larger amounts.  Currently you can just send the 1000 coins without darksend enabled, I think this will always be an option if someone doesn't want to use darksend they don't have to.

I think the plan actually is to make all transactions use DarkSend when it is completed.

[TanteStefana]

dost the coin has pos plan?

Not really pos.  MasterNodes do require a stake of 1000 coins to run, however, there is a reason for that that includes security of the network and seriousness of the person running one.  Other than that, the rest is a different kind of "work" that they perform.  So it's not really POS but it requires a stake in the Masternode.

Do I make sense?  LOL.  No POS is planned just for holding your shares.

By "ready to deploy" I thought it was implicit that they're "mining with customer's pre-orders"

In a world of trustless finance, pre-order mining investors are the biggest trusting dumb-asses in history.

This is my #1 fear with ASICs.  Somone is undoubtedly using the "new" items before they go out to market.  No way to stop them.  This is what is the scariest part, then once they've shot the difficulty up so high, then shipped out the items, you can never make your money back on them.  It's a crazy, unstable thing, that could potentially be the breading ground for a 51% attack.  What can be done though?

[TanteStefana]

I know what you mean, drives me nuts being surveilled at all times. Luckily I have a godlike body and an ugly face, so anyone taking my picture usually crops my head out of the shot.  

I'm ugly on both ends!  You'd think they'd leave me alone!  LOL

Question:

Who runs Dark-Bot on #darkcoin?

[TanteStefana]

Although I agree, when ASICs are made, and they will be made, we need to go with the flow.  However, just to relieve your fears a bit, no governmental institution is going to be faster than the market.  It takes too long to get approval for the idea, requisition the funds, and by then someone will already have come out with the product.

I doubt anyone of power in the government even knows about Darkcoin, they are fixated on Darkwallet, which will fall due to infiltration of the browser before they realize we exist.  By then it will be too late.

With respect, while you might be right about the government, it's unwise to underestimate the Company...    

Langley runs the circus, not Washington.

You might think so, but large/huge companies are almost no better.  That article on the founders of Google that someone just posted, was an amazing example.  And more so, an amazing example of a leader that is fighting the stagnation of being a large company. http://www.businessinsider.com/larry-page-the-untold-story-2014-4?op=1 a highly recommended read

But big companies that work for the government are actually going to be almost as bureaucratic and inefficient.  But again, I'll agree to be prudent!  You never know!

I got DRK for the first time today. i'm in for the long haul

Welcome!  I hope it does us all well!

[TanteStefana]

Even so, for someone like myself, I'm not fighting any big fight other than personal privacy, so if the IRS saw my finances, I wouldn't be as freaked out as if someone else did, because I am pretty sure the IRS won't put my info up on the web for all to see.

Wow, I'm just realizing how stupid I can be......... LOL

They already have everything about me on the internet, LOL 

You can't hide, so you may as well speak out!

Having said that, I am never traveling to the USA for fear of ending up in a dark hole forever, which is a shame because I'd love to visit America.

What?  Why?  How?  Really?  Even people that come here illegally are not treated that badly, arguably they're treated like citizens.  But I suppose I can understand.  I don't know much about the middle east, and have my fears as well.  In fact, due to my age, I no longer want to travel anywhere where I can't have a normal toilet and shower, LOL.  But in the end, I do know we are all the same all around the world, and if I were younger, I'd want to meet everyone I could and experience their lifestyles   Just not anymore.  too much arthritis, LOL.

Nope, we're just a very conservative group of people, and that scares off day traders, so day traders stay away, and we stay happy

Let me add something to this, things has actually gone really fast the price today is a result of the great potential the coin has, but we are still at a very early stage of the process. You may be used to the excessive speculation on other cryptos but DRK was only launched on Jan 18th and for things to acquire value in the real world it takes time, we are adding features, benefits and infrastructure that will have real world applications thats where the higher valuation should come from. Beware of coins that have no real purpose and raise in value too quickly, when Darksend is officially out and vetted expect the coin to be worth a lot more, that is why you need to decide whether to invest now and take a higher risk or invest later and pay higher prices, that is each persons choice.

DRK is the #1 x11 coin by far at number 11 with 7 million $ marketcap.

Where is the second largest X11 coin?

I'm calling it now - Dark-ice is either a darkcoin-ebay or a multipool that pays out in DRK.

My vote is for multipool since he shut down his mining pool.

Jeez. I still have a lot of Haisenberg HEX coins to sell and now you come up with a dark colored meth shitcoin?

I was thinking about the goverments (of the US and Europe mainly) and I think in the near future (with some “terrorist” excuse)  they will try to close the DarkSend masternodes system. We are now out of the focus of the media, but if Evan succeed (and I have no doubt about that) we will be exposed to all kind criticism.

The  anonimity is a real threat  to the goverments and powerful people. They will be very nervous in the next few months/years (if they are nervous with dark wallet, and they just need to hack one server....)

I think we must anticipate this possibility.

Our weakness link in the chain are the Masternodes. If we use external servers, we must spread it all over the world. It's no sense we all use the "Amazon" servers, because Amazon is a US company the US goverment can easily close that.

Maybe sounds paranoid, but I think our masternodes must be placed in servers of companies  located all around the world, in Russia, Southamerica, african or asian countruies (not in china, of course), etc...   Not only in US and EU.  This will make our Masternodes net more powerful.

My 2 duffs.
