SDC is a DNM killer.

Hopefully the inner tech will be solid enough and the whole project a true success!

SDC was supposed to be listed for Chinese investors. Do we have any news about this?

SDC Is not a darknet killer at all.. I have invested in SDC and expect it to reach 4 or 5 dollars maybe more if we are lucky.

There market is not going to be a darknet market, The devs are not even anonymous and if they allowed drugs on there market they are on a one way ticket to life in prison, the main dev is on youtube so anyone who thinks there creating a dark market really!?

its going to be a little anonymous market with cryptocurrency exchange and a few services for sale.

$4 or $5 per SDC is chump change. The reason any coin exists, and grows is because it has a purpose. With SDC the purpose is multi-dimensional. Absolute privacy has always been a top goal, as is communicate, barter, and complete transactions in a secure environment. It has nothing to do with selling drugs, or illicit activity, it has to do with your right to privacy. There are always individuals that operate outside the law, and there is nothing the developers can do to prevent it, nor are they responsible for anyone else's actions. Once the market goes live I will be very surprised if SDC doesn't have a market cap well over $100 million within a few weeks or months. It is simply a matter of which coin offers the most complete package, and ease of use. Doesn't take much homework to see the obvious. SDC isn't some little kiddie coin looking for a fake pump, it's the real deal and is only going to become more stable and reputable...

And beyond that, what laws are the devs expected to follow? Drugs are illegal in some countries, Bibles illegal in other countries. Many countries around the world are human rights violators and their laws should be broken. It disgusts me to see commercial outfits in free countries stifling free speech and trade at the request of dictatorial governments in other countries and decentralized services are a good way to avoid that, no matter what else they might facilitate.

Guys,

The whole point of all of these decentralized peer 2 peer blockchains is censorship resistance. That's it. The code doesn't (and shouldn't) make subjective measurements about the transactions or their payloads. It's job is not to evaluate the content, but to enable frictionless and censorship free transacting. That is the point of all of this. It's freedom. A hammer can be used to build a house or kill a person. It doesn't mean hammers should be selectively illegal. Society can enforce and regulate it's problems itself outside of the constructs of infrastructure, which is what it should have been doing all along. If a particular society has problems with people killing people with hammers, or sniffing paint, it needs to be addressed the tough way... at the human level.

Blockchain infrastructures should not cater to jurisdictions or particular sensitivities selectively. That is a slippery slope. Today we say "okay let's make an exception for not selling drugs, but everything else is okay..." and then tomorrow it's "well certain books are too controversial... we should outlaw certain books too". This is why the hard fork in Ethereum set a dangerous precedent as well. It's also critical to understand that with blockchains the centralization has shifted from the code and database to the people with commit access. We should always be vigilant about government agencies leaning on devs to make commits that introduce censorship selectively in to the code. You aren't always going to like what people sell on the market, but your choices are to not participate in those markets.

tl;dr - Guys all of this stuff is about your right to privacy and civil liberties, not about "drugs".

Very well said sir. +1
