1 Bitcoin $ 7,947,027,453 $ 619.09 2 Litecoin $ 318,843,456 $ 11.05 3 Darkcoin $ 52,733,769 $ 12.14 4 Nxt $ 46,808,290 $ 0.046808 5 Peercoin $ 45,744,698 $ 2.13
Dark is acting corrosively to the top altcoins.
Once DRK overtook DOGE, doge crashed from 100 satoshis to 50.
Ripple owner chose to sell.
PPC lost it's "next-to-LTC" position.
LTC prices are going down and down (0.021 -> 0.020 -> 0.019 -> 0.018 etc - as I had predicted it would happen). Instead of being BTC-on-steroids, it's losing money for BTC holders who bought it.
It's fair to say DRK is a catalyst. It's Platinum to Bitcoin's gold - but it doesn't need to be marketed as such. The "Dark" element can stand on its own pretty well combined with a good anonymity system.
BTC: The "gold"... The benchmark. The one constant that everyone goes to or uses as a measure. The property of gold is to be inert and resistant to corrosion for ages - as is Bitcoin. Altcoins come and go, altcoins evolve, Bitcoin stays the same and rules the market no matter what. Rich people hoard it, just like gold bars.
LTC: The "silver"... Silver is reflective and conductive (fast transfers). However it tarnishes over time and loses it's "bling". It is also more abundant than gold (29m LTC vs 13m BTC). Silver coins are "brilliant" when exiting the mint but now we are in the tarnishing phase.
DRK: The "platinum"... Platinum is a catalyst and is used in specific applications for its catalytic properties. Doesn't corrode no matter what. It's also mined at much lesser quantities than gold (scarcer) at a ratio of 150 tons (platinum) to 2500 tons (gold) to 25000 tons (silver). Mining production and scarcity of DRK adequately positions it as the platinum. (4.4mn coins vs 13mn BTCs)
(warning: the above do not represent predictions for prices, just analogies of nature and cryptocurrencies) accurate conclusion

They had some issues with the minting part, now it's more visible since the POW phase is over. Apparently it's something that can be fixed. Time will tell.

Dark money, dark coin... everything sounds like we are some sort of criminals and working on Darknet webring.
Monero's Ring is much more understandable for me.

I actually really liked the 'Bitcoin Cousin' thing that came up in the media. That makes it sound more like a relative than a competitor. That's PR gold ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) That's important, IMO, because merchants can have Bitcoin and Darkcoin running alongside each other for those that would prefer to use eCash. You may end up with businesses offering cash back incentives, say 0.5%, if people pay for goods with Bitcoin so the block chain can be used for analysis of retail spending indicators and market research. Those that don't want that can opt for Darkcoin.

Whether ring signatures are better technologically or not isn't going to affect the relative commercial value of Monero. Almost all coins are more advanced technologically than Bitcoin / Litecoin, even Peercoin but it doesn't dent their values. An original is an original and acquires an appropriate valuation.

Personally, I view darkcoin as Swiss Banking for cryptos. I think that is a better view of its function.
