XC price is normal, but 24h exchange volumes are decreasing again. Anxiety...
Poloniex volumes DRK/XC = 7.516/2.568, mintpal volumes DRK/XC = 684.069/59.180.
Can you explain why people trust in DRK more? Indeed Evan Duffield has opened the sources?! Nor he has hypnotic abilities to make people zombies?
You can't evaluate a coin based on one 24h period. That is idiotic. If this were the case, then you would have to conclude just 1 day ago that XC > DRK, because 1 day ago XC had a higher 24h volume than DRK. So, according to your method, you now have two antithetical reports to reconcile within a period of 48 hours.
Your method is seriously flawed. And the reason DRK volume has risen to overtake XC's in the last 24 hours is unquestionably because they just released news on RC4.
I am tracking for DRK & XC for a long time. Yes, there are few time intervals in history, where XC > DRK by 24h volume, but MOST of rest time (I estimate 80-90%), DRK > XC by volume.
Today, the volume difference just became drammatic. My opinion, among many parity features of XC vs. DRK there is one, 'instamine' that intrinsic to XC, and not intrinsic to DRK. People's psychology does not accept unjust feature such as 'instamine'. You may contradict with 'stake' feature. But to stake coins, one need buy them first, buying is not so psychologically comfortable, as minig on the equipment you already possess.
So I call on Dan to return the mining feature, and let XC be PoW coin again, at least 50% PoW, 50% PoS.
