Any chance you could link the post? Or do you happen to remember who it was made by so I can find it a little easier? It would be great if everyone could just link to it in the case of future trolling on this topic. That and the FAQ. Thanks.
It won't help (much). These trolls and professional FUD spreaders will (and are already doing this, Litecoin-Forum is full of it) tell you the devs sold the coins to themselves.
I compiled a decent amount of posts made by the Dev's only(Eddufield and Interape) of them selling Darkcoin and giving it away. There are also countless posts of regular early miners selling darkcoin and giving it away(feel free to add it to my collection thanks) This list practically shows tens of thousands of DRK being given/sold by the Devs, you can also check the Blockchain as well. So the arguement that those trolls/fudsters were using can now be laid to rest )
Here they are, a bit disorganized but you get the point.I will sell:
20,000 DRK/XCO for 0.45BTC
10,000 DRK/XCO for 0.25BTC
5,000 DRK/XCO for 0.15BTC
PM me if interested.
I have sold all that i am willing to sell now.
Last week i was selling DRK for $0.02 each, now its about to hit $0.10 each.
Its a good/bad thing... Lets hope it keeps going up...
Fine and faster on x64 linux, wolfdale 2core.
work fine
don't forget give little donations for creator of cpu miner))
Give me your BTC address, I don't want to give up any DRK's

And now, how about collecting a good hefty bounty for a working effective GPU miner? I'd put down up to 1000 DRK - not much but if many people donate it'll build up.
If more people are interested I could work on GPU miner for a bounty. I already have something more or less working (pools are accepting shares, also solo-mined one block this night with it), but it's still very slow (nearly 2 MH/s on Radeon R9 290). Unfortunately I can't promise it will get much faster, still working on possible optimizations.
FYI
I'll put up 1000DRK, but I want the code you have now, to prove that it is getting at least what you say.
I'll match his 1000DRK
Thats 3000DRK @ $0.35 thats ~$1000

Official fundraiser for Darkcoin marketing & branding
Since Darkcoin was 0% premined, we will be doing this the old fashioned way, with a fundraiser. Many people in the community have expressed an interest in pushing our marketing effort along. We wanted to make sure the time was right, while Evan sorted out the kinks in the Darksend code. But we are nearly ready to show Darkcoin and Darksend to the world, so let's get this moving.
I will release a list of bounties for marketing & branding in the next day or so when I have a bit of spare time. For now, you may donate to the official fundraising wallet (anonymously if you like!). You can also PM me with your donation details and I'll keep some accounting, if only for the sake of making sure your donation is accounted for and spent appropriately.
As always, you are a fantastic community and we appreciate your support!

Just to let everyone know we're up to 3000DRK for the GPU bounty to try and get phm to release his source code. It would be helpful if other people could donate also to even the playing field again :

Thanks for your support!
ps, this bounty is extended to anyone who can get a GPU miner up and running with a reasonable amount of efficiency .
Here's my partially working GPU miner: https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin-sgminer

Thank you!

Looking forward to try this.

Can I have some testdarkcoins?

I'm glad the miner works for you, hopefully I'll get paid for the bounty soon. For everyone playing with command line options here are the settings I use for R9 290: -I 18 -g 4 -w 128. I have not tested it on NVidia yet, will do that today, but do not expect wonders. If there are any serious bugs you can report them on eduffield's github.
Expressions of gratitude for the miner shall go this way: XjzvkWNMu5MNk1gNVykJ6CK1u3pAm47oha
I just sent you a payment for 3404.99, thanks!

Want to get Darkcoin listed on cryptorush.in? They've contacted us and they require a fee for listing of 300DRK.
Please donate to get us listed! XxBh3RnSza7dftvMX2JZmNd6ipaTi7KGKx
Why would we pay them to be on their exchange?
There will be a time they beg us to be on their exchange

I'm fine with that too, I had the same thought

. Should we just tell them nevermind, you'll do it later for free anyway...
I think it's fine to just leave it out there and let folks donate if they see fit, we don't want to look smug by being dismissive, but I agree that ~300USD is too much to be listed on an exchange. The volume on the existing exchanges should be sign enough that this is going places.
It's 300DRK (which is still close to 100$ though!). What kind of volume do these guys even have? I hope asking for fees in exchange of being listed isn't a standard practice, because that seems in line with zynga/king/ea type of business practice. I wouldn't mind being dark being on there but it does seem greedy, they'll be making money of transactions too.
That was essentially exactly what I wrote to them in my first reply.
