coin might be more developed. price may increase. all this might be true.

but still doesnt change this fact:

darkcoin is NOT profitable to mine.

I guess you're doing something wrong, because I mine it and still get profits.

Does ANYONE know, whether this vulnerability (DDoSing TOR to get IP of BTC users - https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-tor-anonymity-can-busted-2500-month/) apply to DRK as well? If so, will the InstantX sort this issue (as a side effect)?

This is an important one - Darkmarkets would have little motivation for change if DRK does not provide them with anonymity.
Please focus at the question and not general rants about TOR being inherently insecure, thx

BTC people are using TOR to go through
onto trading, wallets and all that , but as your entry point at TOR (supposedly) is compromised
your IP will be known anyway ! so no hiding for BTC people

DRK does not need TOR as we are using darksend !
and done ...>>

Darkcoin doesn't use TOR so that doesn't apply to Darkcoin directly.

However, the principles _could_ theoretically be used against Darkcoin Masternodes as well, but in practice it's almost impossible to do .
You would need IP-spoofing to pretend to be a Masternode and DOS other Masternodes with that to get temporarily banned as Masternode. And you would have to do this for the majority of Masternodes, and you would need physical access to the network of that Masternode to successfully spoof its IP.
With > 1000 Masternodes spread all over the world this is NOT doable, even for NSA and friends.

Additionally, the theoretic weakness of having any IP being visible in public was already foreseen by eduffield and addressed in his development update from 01. October 2014, see https://darkcointalk.org/threads/development-update-oct-1-2014.2561/, chapter "Masternode Security", diagram "multi-path routing".

tc;du: the answer is NO

Why prices have been not fly

Every so often I read a posting on here and I think "FFS what sort of intelligence level are we dealing with here....a retarded parrot?"

Now I know that English may not be your first language and you may not be super skilled (or even unskilled) at asking questions with great articulation, but surely...SURELY!!! you can come up with something better than "Why prices have been not fly"....good grief!

Maybe you are on different bases. DRK is not profitabel if you pay too much for energy.
In the US its cheap as hell, in germany power cost is abaut x6 .. X8 vs USA or china

Why prices have been not fly

alex moolah from mintgox is dumping the last of his stolen drk. once he is done that should be the last of the mass dumping. i'm expecting the price to go to the moon very soon!

 Just in time to get my final DRK for another node!! Should up and running in no time  
 I expect a serious trend reversal pretty soon.

So some bastard actually set a private RC4 pool and has 15 RC4 nodes runnig, and also RC3 pool and 12 MN's... some people are such a shitbags

Lol isn't it ingenious to see what people can do with the right motivations...

It would also be as hell is they spun off on their own fork once enforcemente goes back on, at least a few days... which is very unlikely given their skill they'd notice, but hey, could happen    

 two blocks away for a new node up  

 I actually miss Mintpal v1 ... it was pretty darn cool. But thanks anyway Alex for the cheap coins, if you're reading this, you douche.

It will be good to see some real world consequences for wrongdoings done in Crypto, adds legitimacy to the scene, hope he goes to Prison and writes a book and it goes to number 1...

Yeah, this guy really does top Karpeles...    maybe not in "market cap", but still does

More moolah dumping??

 Kraken launches in Japan, yeey 

 So now EUR and also GPB and USD.
 They rock! I've asked them about DRK before, and said the usual "no plans, but on the lookout"
