It started as FUD coin. It's about 7 months old. Pure PoS. It had a 120 day mining period. It was on C-CEX but got dropped for lack of volume. It was also on allcrypt, which went under. It has always been on cryptopia as FUD. Some trading has gone on at cryptopia.

Recently it re-branded to DARK because Dark went to Dash.

As FUD it was never hyped. As DARK, it hasn't been hyped, only trolled.

It's just a regular coin. Either way, you can't buy any right now because the wallet is in maintenance at cryptopia. This means you are in no danger of getting "scammed".

I hope that helps!

P.S.: I'm having a hard time letting go of the FUD theme, so my posts sometimes sound like I'm fudding this coin. But I am the lead dev.
