GUI is nothing, GUI is just for marketing, the tech is more important.

CryptoNote is a good tech, multisig is a good tech, p2p anon trustless using multisig is a good tech, central mixer... it's a ok one, but not fit well into the p2p nature of crypto coin, so it's a less good tech. Though I understand it is easy to implement and many coins claiming anon using it, including DRK.
Because DRK did not use the best tech, it can't be the leader of the anonymous coin, it was in leading position for some time only because of promo and hype.
Exactly what is wrong with the tech that DRK uses? It's working, when you anonymize with 8 rounds you are safe.
You're also trying to say that there will never be some better technology than the one that Monero uses; thus it's possible for Monero to succeed but not DRK.
Also without the GUI there is no adoption.

Darkcoin was a scam that ran its course

It's over now now and no where to go but down

Many other coins that are going up right now.

No need to beat a dead horse.

Move on guys, have you been in crypto for more than a few weeks?

Do you not know how this works. People also realized that this was not even close to the first anon coin, then theres the 2 mill, ok Im done here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=186785
Here is the link to my trust settings here on forum. This trust system is very unfair. I make good on every deal Ive ever made. I had many, many deals as you can see and I never scammed anyone. All it takes is a random account to give you negative trust and youre screwed. Tomatocage has never even talked to me ever but when the random acct hit me with negative trust, Tomatocage came right behind him and marked neg trust again so obviously he was the one who did it. You can look at Tomatocage trust and see how many of his compeditors at the currency exchange thread he labeled scammers. I never scammed anyone. My trust was green over 20 before this. I hope it never happens to you because the mods cant help you.

Can you stop with the FUD spreading? This isn't helping anyone.
People should start cooperating and make something out of all of this.
How about you try proving that it is a scam instead of spamming nonsense? The anonymity was delivered and it works.

I think a second pump to match the last one is going to be much more difficult.

What drove the first pump was the excitement of Darksend, masternodes etc.

Since then we've had a wave of anon coins hit the scene, like XC with it's xnodes.

as with xmr and drk, anon is difficult to get right.

anything that goes to market with a winning solution in a matter of weeks is a 'too good to be true' coin.

I think the reason for something go up or down in the market is adoption, people has to use it, meaning that once should be able to buy stuff with the money, in this case darkcoin. If people has to trade it for bitcoin in order to spend their coins, then there is no reason to have darkcoin, just to mine it, but that will not last longer.

Yes it will be the only one again. My masternodes operate so well;  Darkcoin has the most inventive feature ever!

I think the issue is that there can only be one real winner in the anon fight.  There are a few on Dark's heels ... look at their trajectory and DRK's and you'll have your answer.

No.  Of course not.

Darkcoin won't rise again.  Air is out,  investors long gone,  competition raving.  $5 upper limit,  mark the holy demon's words.

Shortly it be out of top 10, quality MaidSafeCoin is the only one standing in its way. Then it will be a lengthy battle with Monero once thats lost its a mad scramble out the exit door, the scam has run its course.

All the rave now is "shares".

Darkcoin has a good chance to be top 3 crypto. Just buy and hold.

I think there is life in Dark yet. RC4 delivered working anon at reasonable fees. Next on the list is built in IP obfustication and then opensource followed by darkTor (to be renamed).

Also being bitcoin based it can plug into existing bitcoin infrastructure which cyptonote coins can't so it's ready for adoption.

The masternode network is a platform to build services on that reward the masternode operators for hosting.

So it comes down to what services people dream up for the platform. And adoption of said services.
Once it reaches this level a lot more developers can take part and you have an infrastructure/platform as well as a currency within that.

That's pretty exciting.

No

Very few alt coins ever recover from the initial peak and subsequent fall.

~BCX~

And then you realize that Bitcoin is an "Altcoin"

Well not necessarily, 2 or 3 coins can succeed. It's obvious that there will be 1 that will always be first. It's like Bitcoin, it is the winner among coins by a large margin!
The dark market is very huge so there is room for something like that.
We will see what happens near the end of the year.

You are right; Darkcoin is only the most successful alternate 2014 scam: This thread summary well what developers and others have done: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=754521.0  and this article: http://www.cryptobang.com/2014/08/27/investigation-of-darkcoin/ There are too many issues with this coin to be only a 'novice' developer mistake; All the issues were set on purpose, and added from a fork of the proper, non faulty and well designed 'litecoin' source code.

These pump and dump, and other better structured scam coins, only kill the trust of investors and miners; We may just hope that the trust will be back one day. But anyway the trust will never come back if these scam coins are still around.  'Ejecting' these bad coins is a goal by itself for the sake of alternates.
