[ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency

Darkcoin is anonymous, maybe a focus for the safenet is to have a safe internet to use the anonymous Darkcoin? I'm just reiterating now, but instead of trying to sell the anonymity of the safeweb, why not sell its safety?

In my opinion, it would be more beneficial to humanity to prohibit children from reading religious scriptures on this safenet, than it would be to ban pornography in general. Think of all the atrocities committed in the name of religion. Religion in some of its many forms facilitates child abuse, promotes genital mutilation, degrades women and homosexuals, frowns upon free thought and fuels holy wars.

Of course it doesn't help that an overwhelming majority of those who are religious practice the same religion their parents did before them - because the religious institutions are fully aware of the importance of indoctrination at a young age, before the ability to think critically is developed - so perhaps it wouldn't acheive the desired result.


edit: And just to be clear, I don't think religious scriptures should be banned. Anyone who wants to is free to create their own Darkcoin client or install whichever browser and browser plugins they want. I'm sure content restrictions can be a good thing in some cases (at work, for kids etc.) but I don't think it should be applied to the internet in general or to DarkNet.

Stop with the notion of banning content or censoring or any of that bullshit. In doing so, you are centralizing a decentralized project totally defeating the point. There will always be sickos...

Be creative with your trolling or stay in the Cloak thread please.

No to any sort of censorship. Start with that any all credibility goes down the drain.

For the first time ever, this week I have detected a sense of inevitability surrounding the prospect of Scottish independence.

If the UK isn't gone by the end of this month it's certainly holed below the waterline.

The argument has been comprehensively won. M Thatcher broke it up, we're just putting it out of its misery.

What has this got to do with DRK ?

Everything.

Great stuff! Now we just need to get rid of the Welsh, and Yorkshire!  

Lol!

how about the Cornish as well?  Not too keen on the UK down there either as I understand it.......

I dated a girl from Cornwall.  I was 35, she was 21, (I was a body builder so I could pull it off), the Cornish rock!

[tungfa]

Ok, nice discussing this with you.

Chaps...

I could do with a little ideation around interacting with gaming sites and them adopting DRK as a currency solution. Its something that seems to be getting a few headlines and seems like a natural fit with DRK rather than BTC.



http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoins-gambling-boom-just-getting-started/

There probably isn't much more I can write to help them identify the pros and coins of BTC and DRK. So unless there are any ideas (give it a few weeks ), I'm going to start contacting gaming sites.

Yo coins
i read this in the news this (my) morning
and was thinking of you !
I know you posted regarding the gambling scene before and this article only confirms what you
were writing about !!! good thinking and YES
lets approach them.

The whole idea of 'mainstream adoption of DRK)
is great,
but we have to start somewhere (as the housewife will not use it for a while)
so i suggest
- gambling
- anonymous
- online porn sites
- Open Bazaar (being worked on)
- Healthy Weed (the weed industry in the US is totally talking off, and we should get in it as they do not have their weed coin together)
- ....>

[tungfa]

So how low is DarkCoin going?

I just love the way newbies come on here and ask a question like this as if they're asking "In Detroit, what are the typical daily temperature ranges in winter?"

No. Sorry, I'm with him on this one. keep reverse pumping please.

Ignition and I still have to get our cash out of fiat assets, into the banking system, out through the exchange system and then into crypto exchanges.

Lets hope it goes pretty low my son.

I am hoping so too,
stocked up a bit yesterday when it was around 42
(miss the big drop to 22 some weeks ago, was in china and could not reach my money .... arrrr)

K Atlas (Blog) has a whole DRK section now !

Promising Altcoins !! ...->>

Promising Altcoins

By Alex Kerya, September 1, 2014
Promising Altcoins

New cryptocurrencies appear every day. At the moment, there are over 200 of them and the number increases almost exponentially.  With this many coins, it is hard to find those that have any potential. Simply, numbers are overwhelming and do not allow for a clear view on the entire ecosystem. With this in mind, we decided to pinpoint several altcoins that show promise, at least, in our opinion. Furthermore, our hope is to provide users with tools that will help them wade trough the altcoin forest.

Tools

Several websites offer altcoin comparison charts. One of the most popular ones is Coinmarketcap.com. Although it gives valuable info about relative value of different cryptocurrencies, it does not provide a clear picture of all the altcoins available. Market cap represents the value per altcoin multiplied with the amount of coins on the market. The figure produced gives an idea of how valuable each coin is. Unfortunately, the website does not account for the popularity of altcoins or their usage. Furthermore, when looking at the values presented, one should look for amount of money traded, and the shape of the graph. For example if the graph is comprised from almost unbroken geometrical lines, this indicates small volume traded, and suggests that any price jump is most likely short term in nature.  Additionally, inspecting Bitcointalk thread gives a better overview of the market and enables users to understand how popular each currency is. Furthermore, analyzing relevant subreddit can be useful. There are many factors determining the price of altcoins, but the rule of thumb is that the more popular the coin is, the price will be higher.

Altcoins

Blackcoin

One of the first POS coins on the market. Instead on relying on standard Proof of Work in order to authenticate transaction blocks, Blackcoin uses Proof of Stake. Subsequently, users do not depend on miners providing network security, but can provide it themselves by keeping the wallet open.  Additionally, BlackHalo is a feature of Blackcoin, providing unbreakable contracts between parties. It is an innovative concept that might revolutionize the way we trade.

BitShares

According to BitShares, cryptocurrencies can be viewed as shares in businesses with an eye toward maximizing profits by producing the most value possible at the least possible cost.   These businesses have come to be known as Decentralized Autonomous Companies (DACs). BitShares is a step further toward creating decentralized companies with greater accountability thanks to the blockchain.

Darkcoin

Proponents of Bitcoin often focused on its anonymity. After the closure of Silk Road, it became clear that Bitcoin is not as anonymous as it was perceived. Darkcoin tries to restore anonymity and provide a reliable service to the users. By implementing DarkSend, innovation in the protocol that mixes coins and enables anonymity, Darkcoin became one of the rare truly anonymous solutions available.

Namecoin

Namecoin developers were interested in building a general data-value store. Namecoin leverages Bitcoin’s monetary-value store but focuses more on additional information which can be stored, such as a domain name system or an identification/authorization database. It is yet another potential use of Bitcoin protocol that might have wide application in the future.

Ripple

In Ripple, users make payments between themselves by using cryptographically signed transactions denominated in either Ripple’s internal currency named XRP or in arbitrary other assets (including real-world assets such as dollars, gold, air miles etc.). Therefore users and merchants can make transactions quickly and without effort. The Ripple system connects many major players in the finance world and creates a viable ecosystem.

Conclusion

There are many other currencies out there. When we look in the past and see the situation on the market for PC’s in the 1980s, it reminds of the current cryptocurrency market. Many competitors tried to sell their own PC brand, but in the end Apple and Microsoft won the market. Maybe in the next several years we see something similar happening in the crypto world. Until then, we should keep our eyes open, so that we don’t miss new Microsoft.

No to any sort of censorship. Start with that any all credibility goes down the drain.

It was mostly r-ando pushing this line without any real comprehension of why it's just completely impossible on a private/anonymous network. It didn't seem to matter how many times people posted descriptions of why censorship or filtering is not just the complete opposite of what's trying to be achieved, it's technically completely unachievable unless the "privacy/anonymity" part is dropped off, he just kept coming back with more and more "but you're not thinking through this properly" type statements that left me wondering how someone could misunderstand the core essence of something so badly. Hopefully we've moved on now.

It seems like testnet for RC5 will be up in the next day or two, so it looks like RC5 testing will start this week. From eduffield @ darkcointalk.org

Testnet usage of Darksend has died down and it's shifted to mainnet. I don't think it's a bug, it's just there's no one that has your combination of denominations to merge with. You have a couple of options:
1.) Start a second client and anonymize the same amount. They'll seek each other out and should work fine.
2.) I'm going to be starting testing of RC5 in the next day or two on testnet. This will bring a lot of users back to testnet and you should have parties to join with again.
