99% of the current holders haven't been anywhere near the first days, so all these people are trying to do is to rob us.
I didn't find DarkCoin before mid-March and didn't start actively mining or buying it before early April (tried to do so in late-March but I got driver issues and the price jumped up right then...).
There were way too many coin launches between December and February and I didn't have the whole day (every day) to really check them all out.
I wish I found this coin earlier and spend less time by hesitating if it's really as good as it seems for the first look.
But now I am here. I mine it since a few days and I bought ~800 DRK today, so I can reach the 1k mark until the official DarkSend launch.
Does this make me a robber?
Get a machine with a static ip
Why can't I use a dynamic DNS service?
anycoin.conf usually understands domain names, like connect=www.drkpool.com
I'll enable that at some point.
I don't know if that is a good idea or not. Isn't the idea of a master node is that they are on a server AND network expecting a fair amount of traffic? No server has a dynamic IP address, so by enabling it the only additional uses would be on a home computer on residential internet, which is not good for both the user (your ISP may not like it and shut you off/make you upgrade to business class internet, which would have a static IP, making this a moot point) as well as the network as a whole (my primary server has a 1 gigabit connection and great peering with everybody. my home internet has a 30 megabit connection with .75 megabit upload and shit peering.)
I thought I will try to run a Masternode at home (60/5 without p2p blocking) and move it to a paid server as the bandwidth/peering demand grows (if it grows...).
I don't expect the network demand to be huge in the first few months. Most of the DarkSend users will be curious testers.
