Let's not create issues that are not really there (QC). IMO One step at a time.

I see it more like future direction / innovation rather than a problem requiring immediate attention... so no conflict with the development plan as it is right now.

I liked your analogy that darkcoin and litecoin's market caps are moving towards each other like magnets.

The characters are very interesting and somewhat distant reality tells But still you BTC believe and trade DRK/BTC and you have BTC Wallet In your Sing :p
We don't know if it's distant. They could have quantum computers for something like 10 years and we wouldn't know it because they aren't telling us. Withholding your capabilities represents a strategic advantage over your opponents. QCs can break military-grade encryption. It's highly unlikely a country would say "ok, we can make our opponents encryption redundant" because then they would force them into upgrading. It's better to let them sleep. That's precisely why I can't base my money on the QC-dependency / " ass-umption". Technologies with military applications have been known to be withheld for over 10 years. Imagine this happening with disruptive technologies for society at large (economic systems, banks etc) such as QCs... As long as I don't have the option, BTC and DRK are both crackable. If I have the option I can "diversify" my assets towards DRK to a larger degree. A BTC holder of million USDs would likely want some of them to go to a Quantum-resistant coin, just in case. I can also see that working in terms of news. When news go out regarding quantum advancements and prototype quantum computers being trialed in labs, Bitcoin will be crashing and Darkcoin will be gaining. So it's also a financial hedge for day-to-day news. The BBC news has an article that a Canadian company has build a quantum computer, without gates, they use something else... now I forgot. Anyway, NASA bought one with Google... or was it Amazon..? Anyway, Unless the US government funds all the research AND there weren't money to be made by the private sector, a quantum computer couldn't be kept under wraps. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-27632140

It is a bit off topic, but here is the link to the Wired article on the maybe/maybe not D-Wave Quantum Computer. http://www.wired.com/2014/05/quantum-computing/It is interesting stuff, and if such big names weren't throwing tens-of-millions at these boxes to buy them I would be highly skeptical. As the article points out, they are so new, and they are seeing 'something' happening which they are still trying to figure out.

Good for me. Weird... only mintpal is not loading for me, keeps saying connection was reset. Tried on my desktop and laptop, same issue. Located in USA. OK: this is really weird, I just tried from my phone and it loads... Tried on wifi (two different computers) and I'm getting "The connection was reset" errors.

Ok, an update. I could not access mintpal for about 10 minutes, it kept saying the connection was reset when I tried from either of my 2 computers on my home network. It loaded on my phone via 3g no problem.
When it finally reloaded (from my desktop) I tried my password and it didn't work. Tried it a second time... didn't work. My heart dropped...
I reset it via email. Got into my account. Withdrew my coins.
I don't know if it was just a glitch, maybe I'm being paranoid... but I know I didn't type my password wrong.
edit: I had 2FA enabled.

I have read it mentioned on the MRO thread and I have been saying it to my small group of crypto contacts since early January after coblee announced scrypt asics:
Litecoin is the smartest scam coin ever created. None of the small time crooks running away with idiots' BTCs here in this subforum compare to the ingenuous LTC scam of turning greed into accepting subservience through scumbagging mind control.
There, I had to get that off my chest. Thank you.

Evan's reply. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=627349.msg7073643#msg7073643 Thanks for the questions. It does seem like you're missing something. Although, it might not be your fault. The whitepaper is definitely out of date. We've done a lot of work at tweaking the trust model so that it can't be exploited. I'll try to explain how it works briefly, then hopefully if I get time I can revisit the whitepaper soon.
- Masternodes don't have any power over the transactions. They just coordinate the signing. All parties must sign in order for the transaction to be valid. So there's no way to cheat and take the money. - Users submit collateral. At a later phase if a user doesn't provide the signature as agreed, the transaction will fail. Without colateral this could be done over and over bringing the system to a halt. - Masternodes have the ability to take the collateral transaction if they wish, but it's paid to the bounty fund. So it doesn't benefit them, it just benefits the community. This removed the incentive to cheat and take the money.
There's no relying on pools at all anymore. Payments to masternodes are done with a voting system embedded into the blockchain. It would take 51% of the mining power to pay the wrong masternode, or another party (because the last few miners to solve blocks must agree on who should be paid)
Transaction currently require 3 parties to be created, so there's a short wait. There are no fake transactions to make that quicker, although this could be done. There's usually 5 or so transaction per 2.5 minutes, so the network should be able to function pretty efficiently under these requirements.
Hoping that helps . Thanks,
Evan
