Has anyone noticed the price today? The rebound is about 110.72 % and we are 3rd in volume. Now it is obvious, that the confidence was not lost in DRK or anything similar. It was pure market manipulation in hard times (which lasted a few days for the altcoins and Bitcoin) .
I'm hoping that this trend will continue and that we see $200M market cap and higher by the end of the week (certainly possible). The sell side is actually quite thin.

You had a typo.
Fixed it for you.

Okay let's face it, I hardly doubt that it is in any case possible for DRK to reach $200M in 4 days. That's $50M market growth per day, and the crash after hitting such price would be insane. It's better if the price was going up slowly that bouncing up and down like it just did.
Even while being very optimistic (and don't get me wrong I would want DRK hitting such a price) the chances are slim if not none.
Let's wait and see what happens to the market in the next 24 hours. It could be very interesting.

For my own sanity, please challenge my numbers:

im just watching the tor metrics pages, coins101 postet 2Million users are using tor and here are the numbers for tor-nodes:

more number here: https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html

I am not fully sure but i think relay and bridges are different machines and so we got 9000 nodes for 2Mil users. So I think 1000-2000 drk masternodes on medium-high level servers will be a great start. And no problem setting up 3-4 servers per masternodes or renting the high-level server if that pays out

but i would also like to see darksend being perfected and also integrated with btc-drk(send)-btc, we waited so long for darksend

I just worked out that at near max DRK supply, you can get around 13,000 nodes with 75% of coins allocated (can't remember what max DRK is, I know we are on a reducing scale).

Anyway.

13,000 nodes, running 2m users, paying $1/day (who wouldn't pay that for anonymity). That gets you something like $60k/year per Master Node in Revenue.

We currently have around 4.5m coins, at 75% - I think that works out at 3,400 nodes. With the same revenue metrics, you would be looking at $215k per Master Node per year. Not sure on costs to run, but it can't be anywhere near that, lol.

With that kind of return, each Master Node could be worth $1m - $2m.

Multiply that back up by 3,400 Master Nodes, and you get DRK valued at $3bn - $10bn within the next 12 - 36 months.

Like I said.

Fuck me. What has Evan created.

Cheers
