Which are the technical differences between Hirocoin and Darkcoin, please?
Both use X11 and KGW, qt-based wallets and sph-miner ... so perhaps the secured blockchain and time warp limitation ?
Thanks in advance.
Said over and over again in the thread. Mining rewards and anonymity.
Pretty much a clone without DarkSend and DGW. A better clone with no instamining and fewer coins overall will come out and become a bigger success than Hirocoin no doubt. This coin sure brought awareness about x11 to the masses/miners though. Up until now Darkcoin was the secret hangout for them since they coded these first.
The number of coins seems to be around a soft spot. The first day of mining is explained and the only people who seemingly have a problem with it is people who came here after the price increased and they are sad they missed the boat. Those coins originally mined have been traded over and over already and are not a problem, especially since they are a drop in the bucket compared to what will be out in a few months. Which by then will be distributed even more through trading. It was 1 way to launch, and it seems more fair than a lot of coins with success (ppc, darkcoin or dogecoin comes to mind?), and this kind of distribution prevents the coin from dying right away because of attrocious inflation.
Nonetheless, the limited amount of hate this coin has seems to be driven by the same kind of motives as litecoin. It's pointing towards success, so people are scared it's gonna dilute from their markets.
Sure but then a clone of this could come in theory and it is going to dilute this coin as well. Just the nature of the beast.
