...mining is what gives really a value to the coin..
If you mine flappy will you give it value? No.
Mining
gives no value to a coin. Mining secures the coin.
Darks value is due to functional anon, masternodes, dark gravity wave, evan and the dev team all the hard work of the growing community and the belief that it will succeed.
High hashrate is an indicator of demand.. be it future value (like dark) or as a coin to dump. If you mine and dump dark you really don't have clue because there are more profitable coins to mine and dump. Right now... hmmm conspiracy coin and uro.
RC4 is coming. Be ready.
