Any publicity is good publicity if the coin checks out, and it checks out with me. Let the trolls talk they are actually helping with publicity and they don't even know it.
The premine. Drk had a huge premine/instamine. Did it stop investors from buying? (I pass judgement with my wallet and Im looking to continue buying).
I hope ppl are right about the 2nd pow having a price drop. I sold and im regretting it, I have a problem with selling too soon.
Get your facts straight - DarkCoin had zero premine. It was also only CPU mineable at launch so that instamine you are talking about would have been distributed among many miners.
Fact is premines don't bode well for a coin long-term. Check out the successful coins on MintPal and see which ones have premines. I'm not bashing SilkCoin here, it looks like a decent coin, but premines do turn off many investors.
Your correct, DRK had Zero premine but 50% INSTAMINE, which was intended by the developers, only linux machines could mine without the windows QT wallet, since the coin is anonymous, how is there any way to tell what addresses are held by the devs and/or their friends?
Ehh. Sounds like the same problems with many coins release, it's not necessarily a dev scam. The windows wallet is harder to build. The linux wallet (on Ubuntu) should be a 5-minute process. I imagine most serious miners know this and build on linux and mine against that daemon. I'm not even serious and I do.
I'm not holding any DRK nor do I care. Just stating some facts here.
