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

Price is muted. Tech works. Not sure what to think. People are unaware?

Previous RCs have brought a significant price drop, this one the price is up a bit.  I'm a little concerned my buys aren't going to be hit.

The entire crypto market is down, hard. With Bitcoin in the dumps for the last few weeks, it's hard for any alt to gain decent traction. The fact that we have held our own, dollar wise, is an excellent thing. Hopefully when Bitcoin rebounds, DRK will rise with it (and even outpace it).

It`s because of next week open source...after this BIG things can happen so only daytraders are acting again I suppose.

 Holy moly, this is one of the most significant advances in human history and hardly "anyone" is around. What a privilidge!

This is why the low expectations for RC5 launch will end up being price supportive. Also we still have open sourcing and instant transactions in front of us, the show is just starting.

[pbleak]

A lot of sensible perspectives there so I will just sit back and see how it goes price-wise. Hopefully we are all ahead of a nice curve.

And this is exactly the best case scenario any real fan could hope for.
Now is the time to load up on those DRK coins.  

While no one is aware.

Yes !! this is one sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet update !! 100% rock on!

Evan, you deserve a grammy/oscar/golden bear/ whatever is "cool" in the coding world!

You speculators are trying to find complex answers in a simple problem; people are stupid. That's all there is to it... Traders don't do research, not in the crypofinance world. They have no idea anything is happening in development today, just like they had no idea what was going on last month, 3 months ago, or what is planned for next week. They have no idea and they do not care. Not that they refuse to or fail to, but in the same way that a dog can't speak French. They lack the capacity for that much thought. It's why real money doesn't jump into crypto; the prices are dictated by barely sentient animals that dare call themselves human. cryptotraders are, for the most part, the dumbest insult to humanity there has ever been, save democrats. They just throw their money at waves and try to get out before holding a bag. That's it. There's nothing else. Stop pretending there's something else going on. There isn't. You're wasting energy on it.

Normal for humans.

BTW, it's improper to use quotation marks for emphasis. Use italics.

Is xpool.ca updated to RC5?

Very very true.

These aren't rational or efficient markets. The current price is more reflective on the which traders are currently online than a reasonable or logical valuation

[camosoul]

Looks like another update is coming very soon

Get ready to UPDATE again.....

Button remover update.

In the 80s betamax was the logical choice, it had much better quality compared to VHS.
But VHS nonetheless won and betamax silently died.

So for me, Darkcoin is the clear logical choice, but you can't go against this beast called "the market".
We have to make anonymity cool again, this might help.
Meanwhile let's keep doing what we are doing.

With my top 50 userlist (2623 total users) yesterday I wanted to show that the dark community is indeed very large and very commited.
If this continues, we will be successful, just by having the right amount of numbers (the reason why VHS won)

I think instant transactions are pretty damn "cool", but you're right let's see

Is xpool.ca updated to RC5?

nope, not yet.

[Minotaur26]

Relax, the technology is good and Darkcoin still has great things to look forward to, e.g. instant transactions.   To be honest gaining attention from the general public will take work, the cool thing is we have a solid product to promote, promotion does not replace the product, but a solid product still needs promotion. The public will need to be hand held into understanding Darkcoin, Darksend and its implications.  The general crypto public does not have the ability to judge for themselves how strong Darksend is, or will not take the time to take a look into the technology until we make them. So how are we going to achieve this?

Through the foundation efforts we need to start several initiatives to promote and educate people on Darkcoin. For example:

1. Hosting public webinars to show Darksend in action, both from an average user perspective and with someone with the expertise to explain the details of the technology, e.g. Evan, Kristov, etc.
2. After open source next week, get additional code reviews from cryptography experts with a good reputation, whether we need to hire their services or some step up voluntarily after open source.
3. If we could get some security certifications, white hat analysis, or get Darkcoin coding process ISO certified or something like that it would give non crypto folks great confidence.
3. Have Evan do some public appearances, crypto trade shows, TED, interviews, etc.
4. Start an initiative to promote Darkcoin with payment processors and crypto financial institutions. This needs to be a coordinated effort, key people in prominent payment processors, exchanges and the like need to be approached by official channels.
5. Educate and promote within specific industries of interest. with a need for our solution e.g. gaming, porn, etc.


We are taking steps in this direction, the foundation is getting organized and soon will have a formal structure, people will get to register and work groups will be formed so that there is accountability and hopefully a budget for specific initiatives.

It may surprise you but the whole world does not follow specific coin threads looking for news, thats to our advantage as early adopters. Now is our job to get involved and help Darkcoin directly there is a lot to do that is not coding related. So think in terms of what I listed above, does anybody have other ideas of things we could do to promote Darkcoin adoption?

[crackfoo]

what metters that I feel that I didn`t do nothing wrong, thats all...

Same here

Anyway, here's 1 DRK

Hey, now I want one too. I am mining at your pool too... 


Anyway, I was very happy recieving todays DRK payment from xpool.ca. Nicely done!

Yes, once we are out of RC phase, the real fun starts!
