Since the talk about the prices have finally calmed down, let's get to work as Minotaur26 suggested some pages ago.

I think we should try to refocus, this is all very exciting, but lets get to work. As promised I am contacting merchants today about adding DRK. Some examples:

  • TheCryptoDepot
  • Bongocoin
  • Cryptosextoys.com

Will continue later today but I have to run some errands right now. Lets retake the marketing projects.  I have some English/Chinese fluent friends, what do we need to do in that front? Would love to get China into the game.

Had to click around a bit to find this, good time to repost with the price on the move

It should be noted that Evan took over the bounty fund as he stated in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg6310530#msg6310530

Yes, and unfortunately we can't really translate the website site until it's re-written.  I'm not exactly sure what is holding that up, or if it's getting finished, just not announced yet.  But as soon as it is completed, there are several people who are ready to translate it for us.

I asked Evan if I could update the first post, and I did what I could remember wanting to do, but I know I had other ideas.  Unfortunately, I don't remember everything, but I know it'll come to me.  I've sent it back to him for review.

If you have ideas for the website, write 'em up!  I'll try to do the same.  It's late now here, so I'm getting tired, but yah, we can start writing content, explanations etc... and the web designer can choose that / modify it to his liking and integrate it with the site.  I'll try to do some tomorrow Smiley

Quite a lot of copy has been written for a new website (http://darkcoin.us/io). It's good stuff but perhaps a little wordy. I was thinking of having a go at editing/rewriting it this weekend. I'm the one who wrote the recent media release.
