Drk is not asic resistant, not for long...also, it's pumped to hell and back. Watch the price, you might sell a bit higher, but don't get overly greedy.

drk looks to be just as asic resistant as vrt...



"Darkcoin [DRK] was launched on 18-Jan-2014 as “XCoin”. It is a CPU only coin with hybrid hashing algorithm using 11 rounds of scientific hashing functions
(blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, echo)."



"ASIC resistance" X11 algorithm ASIC Howto:

Better now? Wink


And that's the reason I mine DRK with 750Ti from few days and sell them (you? Wink ) for (your? Wink ) VTC
(the performance was much better than mining VTC directly)


It's complex to design the asic chip yes, but once you figure it out it's cheaper to produce as x11 doesnt need memory built with the chip. Any algorithm that does not adapt will human intellegence will crack it with asic  Smiley

You can mix 100 algorithm for all you care  if the price is good enough someone would build asic for x11.

Nobody thought scrypt asic will ever be around because you have to put memory in, doesnt stop asic. The only way to fight asic is to constantly adapt and fork is necessary.

Human intervention and community involvement is the only way to fight asic and that is something that vertcoin vouch for.
