Darkcoin has been getting more popular. Their is something coming out this May called Darksend which works with coinjoin to mask transactions. May this year, it will be the only coin with open source private blockchain.
There is already Bitcoins Darkwallet so no need for darkcoin and it has had an unreal instamine
Unreal instamine = herm herm *bitcoin*
some blame the "instamine" because they weren't there at launch, so funny..
Let me be more clear
Darkcoin was mined with 500 DRK generated per block from the get go. From block 1 to at least block 3250, according to their blockchain, they were still producing 500 coins each block. The transition from 500 to 277 coins per block occurs between 3250 and 3500 but this author did not see the necessity of getting the exact moment of halving. Simple math shows that 3250 blocks multiplied by 500 coins a block is 1,625,000 Darkcoins created between the times of 3:54 and 11:22 on January 19th, 2014. As of today there are around 4,300,000 DRK in existence, making this a pretty hefty instamine. The Darkcoin website expects around 22,000,000 DRK to be created. That means in less than 8 hours, almost 5% of the Darkcoins that ever will be created spawned in that 1/3 of a day.
It's safe to say Darkcoin has left it's investors in the dark on this one.
