Hello Everyone,

I'm going to move on to RC5 and other unique features of Darkcoin that we've had in the works for awhile (I'm going to wait till all of the weak hands have left the building then I have some really cool stuff to announce).

-Evan

I think that all week hands are gone !

I'm pretty sure a few strong hands sold too!

I agree. I don't mean to criticize because Evan has done an amazing job, but in my opinion a comment like that is borderline irresponsible. At least say "we'll make an announcement once things settle down in a few days" or something like that. Basically saying that you're withholding information in order to force "bad" people to sell? I don't know, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Then again, maybe he knows something we don't. Perhaps there's a particular one or group of "weak hands" who are causing real issues.

His wording was not the best, but it was a good decision to wait. If he had made the announcement over the weekend it would have been like pissing into the wind. The marketcap for crypto as a whole is down like 2 billion in recent days. Evan could have said that DRK now magically has NSA/CIA proof anonymity levels all vetted by AA -- and DRK would have still likely taken a hit. Right now is a historicity bad time for all currencies.

The words "once things settle down in a few days" would have been better, but in reality Evan's post was neither here nor there regarding DRK's current valuation.
