Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | Anonymous (alpha) | KGW | No Premine | ASIC Resistant
Yes, we know the DarkSend test is soon, but when people ask when it will be, they already know it is soon, so saying 'soon' isn't really any kind of answer! :/ Throw us a bone with numbers written on it, if you catch my drift.
I don't have a date, but I'm guessing in 2-3 more tests I'll allow people to start using DarkSend on the mainnet using the ubuntu/windows binaries. There's really no risk to using it and it should be stable in a couple weeks.
The problem is to opensource it I need to do a fair amount of work to secure the way it works and make sure it's very robust in dealing with possible errors/issues. But I can start to work on that while you all are using it on mainnet.
No need to get offensive. Being the first IS important whether you agree or not. I never said don't open source it, I clearly said "too soon", try reading again next time.
Clearly most people have agreed with me. Being established first is just good business. We have all invested time and money into this coin in someway or other.
We need to get our foot in the door, and not get steamrolled by other more established coins simply implementing Darksend, or maybe DS? things get shortend eg, KGW....

Why get offended? Re-read your post. That's what you sound like.
Clearly most people who are here agree with you? How is that not obvious? Breaking news! A forum post filled with investors in a coin take the short sighted view.
So far I haven't seen Eduffield, you know.. the person doing all the work, chime in on the matter except to say that he's putting in work. And everyone's opinion whose not doing shit but posting on a forum means zero next to his, including mine. I'm just giving a good counter argument instead of listening to a bunch of greedy motherfuckers like you. Sorry in advance if motherfucker offends you more than being called a 2 year old.
Eduffield, this coin will get what's coming to it already. You know that because of how much hype these people are putting into the coin. You got what's yours from your instamine. Please don't forget that you're building from the shoulders of giants. Coinjoin or darksend should belong to the community.
Also:
Community won't trust a coin that is close-sourced.
+1Eduffields proposal is reasonable. People are really craving to have darksend and asking for it everyday in this thread. He's gonna give it to us first while he tweaks it a bit and then at some point soon after that, the source code will be released. For all the tangible qualities and new features Darkcoin is bringing to the table, it doesn't have marketing/hype going for it too much for now. The new website is in progress, logo will be updated and it will be ready for criticism. The reason it has succeeded up until now is genuine interest. Saying that he's building from the shoulders of giants is a bit disingenuous and trivializes the work Eduffield is doing. The coin is still quite small, not having it open sourced within first day of release is not going to be a problem, it will be tested by members of the community and major players can adopt it later when they see the source code without a problem.
