Before investing in DRK, do read about Bitcoin's Dark Wallet and stealth addresses. Darkcoin has competitions; Bitcoin's advantage is that it already is by far the most accepted crypto in the dark-web, so its stealth addresses could make Darkcoin irrelevant, even if Darkcoin turns out to have a superior technology.

again... NXT has not been forked or double spent, and Darkcoin has.  Which is more insecure so far?

Insecure ? You are I believe, seeing the time you spend spreading FUD giving advice for free without a hidden agenda. Bye.

How is a question advice?  I am looking for additional information.  I would like an honest answer.

Dark was forked to add new features. When has it been double spent? I don't remember hearing anything of the sort.

The Masternode issue is being fixed and will be rolled out in the middle of June.

Development Update - 5/30/2014

Fork Causes and Solutions
Over the last few days, InternetApe and I have been collecting data to help recreate the problems we experienced with the last hard fork. We reached out to the community and requested that anyone still running a daemon on the wrong fork report back to us. We received a great number of responses, and analysis of these daemons was incredibly useful in our effort to determine the root cause of the issue.

After examining the daemons and their associated blockchains, we've determined that, when approving blocks, in very rare situations the Masternode voting system was looking at the incorrect previous block. The forked clients were receiving an error that could only have been caused by the client comparing the current block to something that wasn't the correct previous block. This error caused the votes to appear manipulated and the client would reject the block.

Later, when receiving the same block again, the client would accept the block. This makes it clear that there wasn't an issue with the block itself, but with the system that checks it.

To solve this problem, we are going to take a multifaceted approach to development:

1.) We are recreating this problem on testnet in order to determine the best fix possible (it's a rare error, so it's taking some time).
2.) We are implementing automatic checkpointing, so that if this does happen again the network will not be able to diverge paths. In the event of a rejected block, the auto-checkpointing system will be able to tell the daemon to retry it later and put the daemon on the correct chain.

There's a lot of disinformation being spread around, people are acting pretty silly.

thanks for the update.  so it looks like DRK has had problems with a fork or incorrect blocks being accepted but they are working on finding a solution so it doesn't happen again.
