Re: [ANN][DRK] Darkcoin | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW and Darksend | Instant TX
" Along with that clown that surfaces every 5 minutes with his nonsense twitter account spam"
This is uncouth. The gentleman behind that twitter account is working hard for something he believes in and a large portion of the DRK community are grateful to him for it. He invests a lot of time and effort into this coin because he holds a belief that you do not hold yourself. You called him a clown. That is not particularly respectful or polite. I personally feel that an apology is due.

See, I had various, serious discussions with "that gentleman" on http://darkcointalk.org/ where I provided him with a bunch of suggestions regarding the best Twitter practices. (based on studies and researches about Twitter campaign's efficiency, not on my opinion)
He did not adopt a single one but kept spamming. I KNOW the people support that, I understand we like to see our beloved coin mentioned on Twitter, but compare "All" vs. "Top" results while searching for #darkcoin and you'll see how his twits disappear in the later. That tiny detail, of having one of the most vocal supporters of the coin I myself support (some of my friends followed my investments in DRK and ended up fully invested and quite unhappy thus far) acting not fully responsible, driven by the most noble feelings and fervor instead of reason, was yet another element that made me make a decision discussed several posts above.
Such a Twitter feed might, for some, look like a desperate attempt to promote something that is not of real value that grows on the merit of its quality. So, see, even someone I liked, whose efforts I tried to support was a part of the overall bad feeling about near-term Darkcoin price's future. (just the price, not the technology, with a worry over the image it projects)
But, even with 50% DRK 50% BTC I feel a tad better. And I will keep holding enough DRK to support it, to make a nice profit it goes up (and than I would NOT sell it, on the contrary) and if it goes below 0.0045 I will buy another bundle. So it is not that bad after all
If you don't agree with the individual's approach, then direct your concern to members of the foundation. They are ultimately responsible for marketing and the person in question is at least trying which is more than can be said by most people who own DRK who post on here.
