Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW

It bothers me that its closed source. Its not a real crypto until its open source

Only Darksend is closed source. Every other aspect of the coin is open and there is even a separate version that can be built from the source for those that will not use closed source software.

If that still bothers you then wait. Darksend will be open-sourced as well -- likely in August.

Its not the only thing that bothers me. i've also heard that Proof Of Work has ended on this coin. I feel like most of the coins that have adopted this model are early adopter schemes. I'm not accusing dark of being an early adopter scheme, but it just doesn't sit right with me, especially at current prices.I also dislike the centralized nature and obvious unfair advantages it gives the Development team. i think that Darkcoin is fools gold, just like primecoin was when it was released. fools gold, offering the illusion of worth with no tangible benefit, but i'll tell you this much: Darkcoin is the shiniest of all the turds in this punchbowl we call Altcoins.

First thing, whoever told you that POW was finished for this coin was LYING. Next time, you should go to a different source for your crypto info or do your own research. In the worse case, there is still about 70% (read that again -- 70%) of DRK that remains to be mined. Could be more available depending on hashrate. Miners will get 80% of these. Sorry this is not some early adopter scheme like the 1 week POW then 100% POS coins. If DRK is a early adopter scheme then so is Bitcoin. Roll Eyes

As for the rest of your post, well.... you sound like one of the "Bitcoin is perfect and nothing can be to improve it" types. I don't know if Darksend will stand the test of time, but I do know that to call it a illusion before its full release is very short-sighted.
