I sold off any Darkcoin I had last week. Not sure why it's taking off now. Anyway I sold it because the darksend technology is cool and all, but I can't really see the benefit. For anonymous payments you can't really beat cash, and for businesses, saying you now take Darkcoin is another way of saying "If you're ashamed to buy our stuff, here is a solution!" Err, right

Auf wiedersehen. Dark coin will be the go to E-cash. You can't compare fiat with software. Dark will also be the go to tumbler coin. Unfortunately that involves vices but oh well. Dark is taking off now because it has just become THE FIRST TRULY anonymous crypto. Businesses will use DARK because they do not want their crypto public ledgers in full view. The Chinese will use it to funnel their wealth. I will use it because I'm a hipster.

OK so maybe you tell me, what's changed? Has Darksend been in Beta until now or something??

Yes, it was in beta while bugs were being worked out. Today RC1 was released. The only big things left are putting in payments to masternodes and allowing more than 10 drk to be darksent.

In other words, people are buying in now because the final release is near.

I don't think it's that simple.. Are new people just discovering Darkcoin now?? Doesn't seem likely. Or, did people not think it was going to progress to this stage? Or, is someone just using the release schedule to pump the hell out of Darkcoin?
