Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW | ASIC Resistant
One consistent pattern I have noticed is that frequent posters on this thread do not spam other subforums, forums, blogs etc to pimp Darkcoin. It is done in a good subtle way when warranted which speaks volumes about the community. I don't see Darkcoin folks attacking other coins and or their community either. On the other hand DRK is consistently attacked, hated, smeared, berated mostly by followers of competing coins and or generic altcoin followers. I even see some complain that Darkcoin is just marketing campaign. Kinda sad state of affairs when they attack innovation and real developers with real names, all the while hiding behind keyboards AND if anything, Darkcoin lacks viral marketing.
There could be more than one successful anonymous coin. Why do they need to stomp over each other? I will never understand the vitriol.

It's quite simple. DARKSEND is not out of BETA. Anon coin members are upset at their next to non-existent dev. It's also made up of a lot of "children" who got attracted to the whole "anonymous" spiel.
The second set of harpies are those who want DARKSEND out of BETA quickly because of the pumping going on for coins like ZETA and BC. It certainly hurts knowing your coin might be more technically advanced and useful but ignored, that I understand.
The third set of screechers are the moochers waiting for DARKSEND to be open sourced so they can jump on and pump out their clone coins with IPOS and then claim innovation. We've already seen it with HIC. The users took responsibility for popularizing X-11, stripping Evan from the mast head. It's inevitable but it is what it is.
I always keep seeing some apparition buy walls that keep appearing and disappearing on cryptsy and mintpal. If that's any indication, it's that DARK coin has investors waiting in the wings for DARKSEND to come out of BETA before the marketing Blitz begins. This is the only coin that I've held on to for more than a month, all I can do is wait. That 112 BTC buy wall was not for decoration. People with money to pump the coin have taken notice but why pump it when it is not yet ready?
Hircoin actually did help bring out x11 to a lot of GPU miners. Up until that point, it was only those who had discovered Darkcoin. They did a lot more marketing and I don't think they ever took away credit from Evan and it is still there. The developer is sincere about his support and if I am not mistaken, actually spoke with Evan before coming up with the idea for Hirocoin. Their "Marketing/Community Manager" on the other hand positioned Hirocoin as a "non shady" version of Darkcoin
they backtracked their negative marketing after it was pointed out here.
