'dreamspark' - unable to comprehend innovation. Spot the irony, eh? 

Nowhere did I say it wasn't innovative, I rode the DRK train... The initial innovation is what got the price so high in the first place.

This is about future prospects in regards to price and my opinion is that with all the anon competition and also the big drop in price that 0.025 won't be visited again, particularly if BTC rallies.

The thing about the competition is, they don't currently offer much. Not that this is any excuse for Darkcoin to stop driving forward, it has and it will, but without going into specifics, all the 'competition' has major flaws of one kind or another, and I'm not just talking about the underlying technology.

Darkcoin isn't perfect yet either, but it's way ahead right now and I think that lead will be maintained or grow greater.

The private banking/ecash market is potentially huge. I mean, FUCKING ENORMOUS, forget Bitcoin's poxy 7 billion or whatever it currently is. Getting a platform together that is robust enough and can scale to the kind of levels it needs to is no small undertaking, but I think the Darkcoin team and talented community have the best shot by far right now of doing it.

Just my opinion...

Blockreward again on 6/7DRK

Isn't it great when a system works as intended?

Yes it is and i finally got a payment after waiting 4 days

RC4 wont save this coin, too much competition and not unique enough

You may be right, and I'd be the first one to acknowledge that, but if so then we're looking at the likely demise of the entire altcoin market with the exception of so called "2nd gens" like NxT and Etherium.

Anonymity was the last / only great opportunity for plugging any substantial gap in Bitcoin's feature set and DRK was/is the only real challenge in that market.

Sure there are others now, but the basis for their existence was opportunism on seeing an already rolling bandwagon. There's nowhere near as much mileage in that as there is from acting first. If DRK doesn't succeed in breaking through Litecoin's BTC trading ratio record (factored for coin supply) then none of the others will and neither are any future altcoins having a purely currency role likely to.

People tend to open their mouths and post whatever flippant comment comes of the top of their head according to the prevailing trading sentiment of the day, but if you stop and think about what you're saying then some profound implications flow from it.

what are u all talking about? its not even finished yet.
"Competitors" are competing with promises. Beside the aspect pure POS is less secure than POW, XC is just a merged concept of bc an drk..
XMR just a clone of BCN..
Most don't even have a clue how to implement secure anonymity, they are concept cloners. So i if u think copycats will ever break through good luck.
First movers are still in development

Download and syncing the clean windows wallet fails !

Please fix this asap, so people can sync there wallets..

If theres need for a node which is online all time for initial sync please let me know !

It should work out-of-the-box!

Try opening the debug console and type

Code:

addnode 23.23.186.131 add

I have been facing this problem on both my pc's i tried changing the ips and adding the nodes but everything is a waste ,seems iam not the only one facing the problem ,this problem only occurred on the new install or clean install ,windows 8.1 x64 and windows 7 x64 .

I was wondering if any of the members with unlimited bandwidth would upload the blocks and give us the download link .


Help would be appreciated

Hey use "onetry" instead of add this helps you solve this issue!
Anyways the initial list delivered with the darkcoin wallet seems to be offline so this list should be increased to get the fresh wallets up and running..

[toknormal]

First movers advantage, BTC as the first crypto and LTC as the first accepted alt.

Find another alt that has pumped, crashed ~60%. Then sustainably risen again (Not spiked). Not to mention one thats main feature is better implemented by other tech. Have fun.

The flaw in this argument IMO is in dismissing the "anon" sector as not being independent enough to sustain an altcoin in its own right.

It remains to be seen whether that analysis is justified because if so, you might as well write off the entire market sector.

For me, that analysis isn't the least bit justified. I think that there is a glaring market in cryptocurrencies for privacy at least because it is the one - possibly only - area in which crypto is blown away by the fiat system. Complete anonymity is another thing - I've said before that these are 2 different markets and "privacy" is by far the biggest one.

Given that background, you can't dismiss a regular price correction as a "post pump" death typical of other alt coins. For a start, Darkcoin is way further down the line than that and its market price has followed a wholly different profile from coins like MOON, CINNI, AUR and even BLC. Secondly, if you look at the profile of the last 60 day revaluation, it amounts to a net 650% gain following an absolutely typical breakout / correction / consolidation pattern.

e.g. http://goldsilver.com/article/gold-and-silver-upside-breakout/

If you don't think the "anon" market exists as a well defined market sector then your remark may have some validity. On the other hand for anyone that does (and that's me amongst others) it follows that it has the potential to sustain a 'market leader' leader in the same way that the "SCRYPT Alt" or "2nd gen" sectors have done up til now.

Finally this remark…

Not to mention one thats main feature is better implemented by other tech.

…is desperate at best and plain nonsense at worst. The relevant phrase here is one used by the Darkcoin dev when accounting for the original basis for the project:

“There is a definite need for an implementation that solves the anonymity problem with a decentralized approach and proven technology”

Not the phrase “proven technology”. This was a conscious decision endowed with a whole lot of commercial sense because any serious technology projects manager knows that creating something is one thing, actually delivering a robust product and bringing it to market is a whole lot different. Technical integrity is a key feature of that challenge and IMO the Darkcoin developer has struck a very powerful balance between the pioneering and legacy aspects of the project - a bit like Steve Jobs did when he picked BSD Unix as the basis for his NeXT operating system instead of re-inventing that particular wheel.

Do you mean i should input onetry in the debug console ? if yes i tried it but it give invalid command error .

[scratchy]

for all those who run into trouble with syncing theyr wallets:

use the debug console ( help -> debugwindow -> console)

and type:

addnode drk.mupool.com onetry

This node will stay online for at least the nexts month, and is running on 500MBit upload.

Enjoy !

12 day until next revelation of what's comming . I think this is a lot of time and we could sink a liitle more like 0.008 .

mike x3 predictions have been very accurate. Guy is a guru

Didn't that Mike guy basically predict this same exact pattern like a month or so ago, based off of charts?

Down to .008-.01ish... probably rebound from there. I can't help but think of that blood in the streets saying... unless you need money right away, not sure why people would sell at these prices.

i"m pretty sure he said .005 - .008.

Yep, lets see what's going to happen . After a week we are going to hit 0.008 for sure .

great idear, thank you

Whatever. Total conjecture.

More total conjecture.

We could get an announcement tomorrow and then your "for sure" will be really bad advice.
Nobody knows yet when.

Be patient. RC4 is coming. Be ready.
