Can we forward plan a hard fork for 12 months time for possibly changing the algo - not actually implementing a hard fork or changing the algo, but just the discussion about doing so? That gives darkcoin enough time to be ASIC resistant, put ASIC manufacturers off developing something, put people off pre-orders, assure miners for a while and give plenty of notice to all those that would need notice like merchants, pools, etc. If ASICs are desired at some point within the next 12 months. You can remove the threat. The possible downside is that some would not bother developing apps and some merchants might wait.

Excellent, but first thing that struck me was this:
"Transactions are pooled together in the blockchain" - they're pooled off chain I believe, that's what makes them anonymous?
They are pooled on chain by being pooled off chain first. All the addresses appear together in one transaction on the blockchain when using DarkSend. Feel free to ignore me then!

I've taken in suggestions about images, colours, etc. What do we think of this? http://darkcoinsample.hostoi.com/It would be nice to get a new website up before that wired articles comes out. People will be looking up DRK. I think it looks great, even better than the last version you posted. I'm not sure I like the background picture with the crowd of asians (not that I have anything against asians LOL). Just seems kind of chaotic, makes me think of a crowded chaotic street, something more calming would be better imo. Maybe some skyscrapers at night all blurred out, some thing like that. I also was thinking of a good tagline - came up with: "Darkcoin... Instantly send money anywhere in the world... anonymously. Fast, Secure, Untraceable." "Darkcoin... Leave no trace" just thinking out loud

People will be looking up DRK. I love everything about it, is a huge upgrade on the current website, I say we get this up asap and do minor tweaks where needed. I personally can't see anything wrong though and agree that we should have it up before this article comes out.

Are there any ways to buy BTC with USD quickly?
Coinbase makes you wait 5 days. Any options to create an account today and be owning BTC immediately or tomorrow? Anyone care to send me several BTC and I send you paypal?
I think local bitcoins.com is the best place to look at. Im thinking of using it myself, i need some DRK!

Thanks for picking up the errors, fellas. These images are great too. I picked one for the home page that seems fitting in implying anonymity. I think it's looking pretty sweet: http://darkcoinsample.hostoi.com/

Lets get this website up asap anyway, especially before this article because yes we will get a lot of people looking into this and our current website isn't up to scratch.

Shirt order update: I have 3 spare shirts left on hand, two XL's and one XXL Had a nightmare shipping international with the big order, so these are open to US only (sorry). $23usd in either dark or btc. Still looking to sell these. Still looking for one with the new logo... ;-) Tho you'd expect the "I had it before it was cool" crowd to eat them up...

I'm just not a coffeehouse hipster, I want the new logo... I could just call them Casascius shirts, no? If someone can up the new logo with the black portion replaced with white I'll see how the proofs look and consider doing another buy and giving away the last two shirts to random buyers of the new version.

Any ideas why this thread seems so quiet lately? Also, has anyone been able to update their masternode? I've been trying but get this error when I try to start my masternode:
error: {"code":-1,"message":"masternode list|count|current> passphrase\n"} ubuntu@ip-172-31-9-169:~$ error: {"code":-1,"message":"masternode list|count|current> passphrase\n"}
Strange reaction to a big new development! I myself am doing so much running around for my kids, I pop in when I sit for a minute, then leave 'cause I've got to go do something else! Now it's time for bed ;P
Helping nephew with his thesis project tomorrow, so won't be around again. Hope we get more info from Evan by the time I get back!

It looks like you are not running the RC2 version of the wallet.

What is Darkcoin's advantage over BTC's darkwallet?
