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.
What the fuck are you even talking about, kid?
Nobody is stopping you from mining DRK. My son is using a video card I gave him to mine it right now. He's also using my old 30 GH/s BFL SHA256/DR machine on xpool.ca - and using his dumbass animalistic whore mother's free electricity to do it.
What's stopping you?
The devs of this coin would never be dumb enough to get rid of PoW, even if many of the forum participants can't understand why. The devs do. You can mine DRK, so mine it.
