LOL. Behind such titans as BBQCoin.
Impressive, though, that DRK has the market cap that it does. Comparable to VertCoin with far less awareness.
Note: the list is missing our /r/DRKCoin subscribers so I added that in.
We're not even a blip on the radar yet, but I think that's good. It's funny eduffield said he wanted to have the same kind of growth Bitcoin had, and though it's expedited, it's really amazing how closely we're following their footprints. On an expedited timeline, yes, but similar growth pattern.
I'm a fan of this coin and have some. But promotion isn't going to make/break this coin. If you really believe in it, don't stress on the daily price. This will rise or fall based on 2 things.
1. How successful DarkSend is when people starting kicking the tires and test how anonymous the transactions truly are.
2. Market adoption. I think there's enough people, regardless of transaction type, that would like to know it's truly (or more?) anonymous. If it works as advertised, people will want & use it.
