For the bet: I'm not a betting guy anymore.
LOL. If you really believed what you were saying, you would have immediately his DRK under 6$ within 3 weeks' bet.
Darkcoin is not Bitcoin. It's in active development. Its code is changing every day and there have been two hard forks in like 10 days. Something can go wrong with a bug, people can flash-crash it in an instant and a candle might appear at 6$. Why bet* on something like that? The masternode hack in particular can be tricky for it requires changes in stratum + p2pools. It got delayed 2 weeks and it'll still have bugs I believe, that might require extra hard fork.
It also prevents you to use logic in order to reason with us since you think we are hyping a coin whereas we just think it's the one that has the best value at the moment out of all the privacy coins in the market.
I believe you do not understand that you lack spherical awareness of what is going on. You researched anonymity and coins for how long? I've been in this market for 4 months straight and I'm learning every day whatever I can and I'm still lagging behind cryptographers and programmers in evaluating and assessing parameters.
Anyway, you just lost all your credibility when you refused his bet. Though I would think your best move would be to leave this thread quietly so people forget about you, I think as the idiot you are you will stay and try to justify your idiocy and thus keep derailing this thread.
That was uncalled for. Respect the host and his thread, if not me.
As I read your last reply, I agree it was uncalled for. But at the moment I typed it, it was not because you came in here trying to defend your investment since Risto bashed it. DRK is on the verge of collapse anytime, we are all aware of it. You are too as you mention plenty of risks inherent to it and you refuse to take a bet that has a huge value if you really believed what you had said previously. As I say "your coin", I realise that it is the whole problem : you are attached to it emotionally.
You tell me to respect the host, but it is you that has no respect Rpetila and his readers: instead of being straightforward and nuanced at the beginning of this thread, you came in here trying to shamelessly promote something that has no future at the expand of the financial interests of the host and his readers.
