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.
I don't think I implied anywhere that this was the last coin that's ever gonna be created.
But it's a solid one. I'm sure you don't go in every coins threads to try to lower it's value... just the ones you feel threatened by. Note, you doesn't necessarily mean you, but people who come and try to say something bad about it.
Solidity is subjective. Not one feature jumps out as innovative, so I disagree with your opinion and believe that a similar coin could be more valuable with the right cloning parameters. I am pretty sure such coins are in the works in the light of scrypt ASICs coming out. Several coins tried to mimick Vertcoin's innovative AdaptiveN and not one was more successful than Vertcoin. Despite irrational economic decisions we tend to make, there is always going to be a reward for innovation.
I am sure bagholders feel threatened by any differing opinion in their threads, and I don't necessarily mean you are a bagholder or you can't make profits from this coin or a new clone down the road. I just wanted to air my opinion. Differing opinions of a few posters cannot dilute the value of a coin. A lot of folks will evaluate any coin based on different metrics, some will differ from yours.
