How's the debate going? I've been busy getting people into the Dark.....

It's an uphill struggle Tao, but so far none of the dinosaurs have credibly justified why they're 4x as valuable as the upstart mammals.
Thats just an ignorant comment.
we are all on the same side here and want to see dark succeed

There are problems with a PoW system and there are many unknowns about this masternode system and likely it has its own problems that need to be discussed and worked out
you may not be wrong but you will not convince anyone with that attitude towards the miners that got you here in the first place

Pardon me if I don't subscribe your your religious belief that miners have a god-given right to slurp from the cosmic money hose forever when technologically superior solutions come along and offer greater security and innovation for a fraction of the price.  Roll Eyes

im just a kid with a 7950 and mined a few darks for my own interests and now i am being shut off the network and treated like shit for trying to be a part of something i though was going to be big.
All i ever wanted to do was take part and get a few darks and now some bigger kid with more money comes along and says nope sorry we don't need you anymore, we are buying up the entire system and going to print darks ourselvs between us. if you want to play get out your creditcard.

despite what you may believe i am not scum, i just don't have the resources for a masternode and i still want to be a part of this






If you read my posts I'm not advocating the abolition of mining. Maybe in the future, but for now, as I say, it's good to have a backup plan. But that backup plan isn't 4X more valuable IMO than the other parts of the system that bring all the innovations, and thus the market value, to the coin. I don't think my opinion is unreasonable?

What would DRK be worth without Masternodes, anonymous transactions, InstanTX etc. ?  What would it be worth with nothing but miners? Fuck all, is my contention.
