Re: [ANN][DRK] Darkcoin | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW and Darksend | Instant TX
I truly feel the name Darkcoin is going to forever diminish the possibility of mass adoption.

Embrace the name, love it and others will love it too
The name Darkcoin is one of the main reasons we have been successful so far. It ignites debate and keeps us relevant, the media likes stories that sell and Darkcoin gives them just that. Passion positive or negative is good, indifference is the enemy.
The very first contact I had with Darkcoin back in Jan/Feb was looking at insane volumes on Cryptsy and working out it was one of the most unprofitable coins to instamine, which is why I couldn't understand why there was such a high hashrate. Then I came to this ann and an image I never forget was the first thing I saw, it was a picture of a house burning down, insinuating a house full of scrypt mining rigs and the caption was "x11 runs cooler"...
When x11 first came onto the scene, the fact your rigs ran so cool had just as much to do with stirring the imagination as the name Darkcoin. The two of them went really well hand in hand, because it's usually nice and cool in the Dark...
Love that meme maker!
