You don't see why the price would go up for an anon coin once it is open source?
Im not saying the price wouldn't go up, the question is from where to where. Label anyone whos not cheerleading for you a troll but this would be pretty terrible trolling if that was the intention.
No smart would be offload XMR, which you are bag holding, to buy DRK ;-)
You wish, check my postings I was mining XMR from the beggining and buying in otc for 0.0003
Its not about XMR anyway, as said I hold DRK as a hedge, I'll be very happy myself if/when it goes up again.
What I think will "bump the price up" is the code being open sourced, which enables privacy appreciative merchants to accept it as a form of payment. When that happens, Darkcoin will be the first and only privacy coin that allows full adoption. Other coins still have a lot of work to do to reach that point. Darkcoin has the tech, easy usage, easy adoptability for merchants, and, a big and trusted USD exchange for merchants to convert to fiat, and buyers to buy with fiat - Bitfinex. Darkcoin is just so much ahead of the competition that it might very well just scoop up the whole market.
As I said, we are soon moving from the the speculation phase to the adoption phase.
Thanks for an intelligent response. As said we shall see and there's only one way to find out and atm the confidence shown by the market in those points doesn't seem to be strong.
