I need some new piece of shit coin to mine so I can dump it for DRK - huummmmm

Any thoughts out there ? - lol

DRK at 0.0047 do you think this coin has any future? And with all the other threads giving the proofs of scams. This is just more coin killing the trust of investors in the alternates.

The current price is of little relevance. I believe the current low price reflects some lingering uncertainty. If Evan presents solid, working solutions the price will go up again. Time is of the essence, however. For Darkcoin to be the #1 privacy centric currency, we have to be running at 100% (enforced, provably random masternode payments, no bugs, user friendly DS+) prior to Monero achieving their own version of user friendliness. It seems that the Monero GUI won't be here for at least a month, so there is still time for either coin to succeed. Alternatively, both coins could find some measure of success.

You forget the fact that Monero has ZERO infrastructure and services support based on a completely new API re-write. Darkcoin is backed by the Bitcoin API so integration and adoption is 1000x easier and more likely to occur. If bitcoin is still having trouble getting mainstream adoption why would businesses even think about adopting a completely different API that's unheard of and untested. Doesn't matter if a GUI is done for Monero, they still need 1-2 years at minimum to build that infrastructure & services support base.

Secondly as stated many times over Monero is a high inflation currency - at the moment the BTC required to prop the current price up is high.

Thirdly they have serious scalability and bloat issues that at current rates of growth it will become unusable or require a centralised block chain hosting service or their database optimisation that they have been working on to which have not produced any results to date.

Fourthly if/when a GUI is released will it be stable, will it be easy to use, will there be bugs/exploits etc...

Thats a huge amount of issues to overcome when Darkcoin just needs to optimise/open source and begin marketing
