Re: 【Truth or FUD???】DarkCoin – The Next Big Thing, or Just Another Pump and Dump?
It's interesting that you lash out at others for making claims about closed source (for now) code, then turn around and do the exact same thing, just with a different slant.
I can't figure out what you're saying here. Is the idea that I can't say anything at all about something thats closed?Thats not my position at all. My position is that that a closed source cryptographic currency is inherently centralized (via control of the source), and that experience suggests that most such systems are snake oil (they don't deliver the things they claim to) if not being outright trojans. Indeed, you can't tell maybe it's actually great, but great things usually don't need to hide in the shadows. The safe assumption is that they're not great at all.
Well now that's not what I said at all, is it?
You stated that indications were pointing more and more to the fact that Darksend is "substance-less vaporware", which I found odd in that the status of its code availability hasn't changed from the beginning. Which indications, exactly? Has it somehow become "more" closed source since the beginning?You said yourself that alt-coin land is a hive of scum and villainy (or something like that). What, exactly, do you think would have happened if Darksend had ben open source since day 1? Also, why must everything good (in your estimation, it would seem) come through Bitcoin?
The safe assumption...sure, I'll buy that. But there is such a thing as a totality of the circumstances.
