If you have questions about the coin, have you tried asking them in the announcement thread instead of posting FUD about something you obviously don't have the first clue about? A simple Google search for 'DarkCoin source' will lead you to the Github page

I did a Google for Darkcoin source and I found discussion about how it's not open source yet. In fact, the bitcointalk thread states this explicitly (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.0)

As mentioned, many alt coins already use a number of the innovations implemented first by Darkcoin such as the x11 algorithm and DarkWave retargetting.
Just because some code from "January 2014" has been copied by a bunch clone coins doesn't mean that the ideas are robust or that they even make sense.
Why is X11 "fully ASIC immune" as the wiki states (see below)? In what way precisely would it be more difficult to create an ASIC for X11? Just because it is a bunch of existing hashes combined doesn't necessarily mean that it is "better." Perhaps it is actually worse? If it was "better" to mash all sorts of hash functions together, why did the thoughtful experts who came up with SHA2 not come up with the X11 instead?
And what is with this difficulty-dependent inflation schedule? Is this necessarily stable? It seems that if difficulty decreases (possibly because people are losing interest) that inflation would increase thereby increasing coin supply and adding selling pressure at the worst possible time.
What does this have to do with Moore's Law?

DarkSend is the only feature of DarkCoin that is currently closed source to prevent the rampant attempts of copy clones from simply copying their innovation while it's still in testing.
But how do you actually know what is in the binaries you're downloading for the wallet and for the miners if you can't look? Saying it is "almost" open source but only having the binaries doesn't tell you very much, does it? Like I said before, how do you know what is actually in that code you are running? How do you know the mining of new coins isn't being gamed somehow by insiders?
I'm a bit annoyed today after reading all the sad stories of people who lost money in Ripple by making an investment that they didn't understand. I think it is the same thing with Darkcoin (and many other alts). There simply doesn't seem to be enough information to actually understand and evaluate Darkcoin at this point in time.
