A generic date/week for RC5 would be great. That way we could hype.

I dont like the word hype as for me it implies exaggeration or positive misrepresentation and that is not what Darkcoin is about. I do think we should announce a proper launch date and give people time to prepare, especially if older clients will be kicked off the network. I run several masternodes for example, and will be traveling soon for a few days, I would like to know when RC5 is coming out to be prepared. Also whether we have enforcement or not pools need some time to update and if there is any form of enforcement then it wouldnt be professional at all to do a ninja launch. So giving some heads up is just basic courtesy and doing things right.

Having said that, there is also nothing wrong about creating awareness about our new release and letting the media know, that is just good business, but lets just stay grounded and keep the expectations realistic, focus on the innovations and what it means for the crypto world, not the price.

Hype was a bad word choice. Maybe buzz is better. I mostly meant getting the word out

Hype got this coin to $15 a piece and made the whole crypto world know it's name.
It literally had no tech backing it then.

It's always had a pretty good vision behind it that has kept it going. Consider how the other hype coins have never matched that (except URO maybe).
