What if Satoshi really only had a couple hundred BTC all along and isn't some recluse multi-millionaire now? (the actual amount of BTC that Satoshi still has today is up for debate)
What if Satoshi realized that he created BTC with many shortcomings? (no anonymity, no difficulty retargeting, slow transaction times, open for ASIC screwage)
What if Satoshi realized that he had gone too far with BTC to publicly ditch it and that publicly ditching it would possibly kill it?
What if Satoshi wanted to create a brand new coin without these shortcomings and wanted the attention and glamour that would come from the success of the coin and so attached his actual identity to that brand new coin?
...
See what I'm getting at here?
What if Evan Duffield is really Satoshi Nakamoto and Evan's just waiting for the right time till Darkcoin is completed and open and mature to truly go public with who he is?
Think about that one but a guy can wish, right?

Folks, apart from this thread, is there a read-only announcements mailing list about the progress of development including announcements about alpha & beta releases and testing?
Why has the price dropped like that again? I'll go through this thread, but it's painful...
official-announcements : https://darkcointalk.org/forums/official-announcements.54/about the progress of development including announcements about alpha & beta releases and testing? : I think irc is best one for that. IRC: #darkcoin Mailing for pools, exchange, service. : http://goo.gl/mSYVhXDarkcoin is an actively developed coin, so we commonly update the source causing hard forks.
To be added to our mailing list and websites please fill out the following form.

@chaeplin: Thank you. Much appreciated. There are older announcements in the Developer Thread at darkcointalk.org if you'd like to check those out as well. |

All,
We were aware of the certificate issues at darkcointalk.org on Chrome Mobile (a bug in the app itself), but it seems there is also an issue with Macs on all browsers on at least two versions of OSX. Propulsion, site admin at darkcointalk.org, is working on a fix now. Thanks to pinwc4 for bringing it to our attention.
-Chris
This should be resolved. If anyone experiences any further issues, please contact me or Propulsion directly. Thanks! |

This should be resolved. If anyone experiences any further issues, please contact me or Propulsion directly. Thanks! Tested on Macintosh Safari and Chrome, Windows Chrome & Firefox, Mobile Chrome and Mobile firefox and finally Linux Chromium Browser and Firefox . Sorry for the hassle had some configuration errors. Please contact me directly if any errors persist. (Don't bother Eltito, he has enough on his plate) Thanks. -Prop |

First, congrats eltito! Also, thank you for the great PR job. I'm very encouraged to have an official voice posting here. It's also good to know that Evan and the others now have more time to code since they have you to take the community relations load off their shoulders.
I have a few comments, most of them simply reiterate what tantestefana, el presidente, and AlexGR have been saying all along, but here goes:
When the price of an asset changes, I start doing research to find out why. Have any of the fundamentals changed? If not, then there is no reason to reevaluate my investment. Despite the recent dumps, DRK has the some fundamentals and same potential as it has had for the last month that I've been following it.
a) First mover advantage in the anonymity field. How many innovations have there been in crypto since 2009? And yet BTC is still the granddaddy of everything. First mover/network effect is a really, really big deal. Even if other coins develop superior technology, DRK is likely to have a significant lead simply for this one reason only.
b) A functional anonymity solution with secret, yet apparently amazing, new privacy features coming in RC4. Guys, let's face it, nobody is likely to outwit the NSA/FBI when it comes to anonymous solutions. Barring some outrageous development, government organizations with many billions in funding will likely still be able to connect the dots. The point isn't to hide transactions from the government per se, it's to obfuscate them well enough so that other people can't see your "checkbook."
c) Competing anonymity solutions don't have any compelling advantages. There are a few interesting things, granted, like using I2P and stealth addresses, but most of them have fatal flaws, or at least significant weaknesses.
d) Darkcoin has developed the first real proof of service model with its masternode system. This can be used to backstop "thin" clients, to partially solve the problem of blockchain storage, and likely to add additional features which people haven't even considered yet.
e) Darkcoin has developed the spork system of introducing protocol changes, which when perfected could be a very powerful innovation.
f) Darkcoin has an incredibly talented dev team that I have great confidence in.
g) Masternodes are getting paid. It may not be by 100% of pools as we would like, but at least it's happening. People act as if they'd rather not be getting paid at all! Myself, I'd rather get paid half the time than not get paid at all. But YMMV. In a few weeks, with RC4, it will be a non-issue.
h) Media attention. Anonymity is the next big thing in crypto, and this will be getting a lot of media attention I believe. I also think that with LTC's inevitable decline and DRK's future growth, once we cross that line and become the #2 crypto, media attention is going to EXPLODE. Remember, John Q. Public is slow to figure things out, and even media sometimes misses the early developments. Guarantee when some people start looking at market cap charts and see DRK cross the #2 line, that's going to bring a lot of attention...
The bottom line, for me, is that the fundamentals are unchanged, and so my original investment decision is also unchanged. Again, YMMV.
+710 Bitcoin's primary power over altcoins is its ability to be spent easily in merchants around the globe which is driving its ever widening adoption. And only Vericoin let's you spend Vericoins anywhere bitcoins are sold, just like bitcoins and you can do it directly from the wallet. That will drive "wide adoption" as you want and it's anything but hype. It even has a pleasant side effect of obscuring the transaction in the process. Want to see how easy it is for anyone to buy things with Vericoins, watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUYPuzdIGxkpretty cool. can't we just add this feature to drk? rc5? ...built in trading in the wallet, p2p decentralized marketplace built into the wallet.  once again, couldn't dark just add those features if we wanted? rc5? |

How will they control the number of masternodes if there becomes too many?
Guessing it will be first in first serve but don't know how that could be regulated.

I wouldn't add "in wallet trading". It's a gimmick. The only reason we'd be adding it would be because another coin did. The real place for that kind of stuff is the NxT network - that's what that cryptocurrency is all about and nobody's going to better their implementation. DRK should concentrate on it's primary objective, be the best at it and not take its eye off the ball with "in wallet trading" garbage. |

How about the Vericoin gimmick ? being able to darksend bitcoins does that work ? |

The more the better. There is no "too much" possible! I think Evan wants to keep it under a certain number for some technical reason. I guess if it got too high he would make it so people who own multiple MN's can consolidate them into one. |
