Darknote has already reached its Minimum Block Reward and its price is only determined by the market now. The amount of coins that are on the market right now is everything there will be, no more XDN will be created.
It has the smallest blockchain of all CryptoNote-based coins, freeing you from the necessity of downloading huge amounts of data; it was the first CN coin to have a cross-platform GUI client with integrated pool miner.
So here are my two cents to this discussion.
I see you are quite knowledgeable about XDN. Whats your interest in it?
I worked on some similar projects and have good understanding of the technology and work behind it. I like what XDNs developers did, I even mined some XDNs. Current results are quite disappointing given the technology behind it. It deserves better. Hope you guys know what you are doing and PM me if I can be of help.
