Is the "masternode" system live now or still BETA?
I should have probably bought my 1k DRK last week since its 400% up at the moment!

Implemented but not paying out yet, I believe thats due anyday with the next RC.

It's not going to get any cheaper, steady increase all day with no catalyst. Just glad I bought about 7BTC worth around .0012

This may be a dumb question but is Darksend already integrated into all Darkcoin transactions or do you need to send through a separate client? If a client is needed to send through Darksend will it be forked into Darkcoin eventually since we are still in beta?

DarkSend is in the beta clients only at this time, once its no longer beta it will be part of the main client.

I'm throwing my support behind DarkCoin like nothing before, with what feels like the same zeal as Bitcoin when I first found it.

I feel the innovation in it really makes it a next generation coin and delivers on the promises crypto currency as a philosophy planned to deliver. There's no foolish meme or pump and dump behind it, or another copy/paste clone. So much of the code has been re-worked to deliver true privacy, and there are no shortage of oppressed peoples in parts of the world who will certainly need that if they are to enjoy the social change cryptocurrency can provide.

Top 100 digital currencies by social media presence (Reddit+Facebook+Twitter followers):

http://crypt.la/2014/03/01/top-100-digital-currencies-by-social-media-presence/

1   Bitcoin....... 410,184
2   Dogecoin.... 207,791
3   Litecoin...... 37,596
4   ReddCoin.... 36,092
5   Vertcoin..... 34,594

...

55   DarkCoin.... 582

LOL. Behind such titans as BBQCoin.

Impressive, though, that DRK has the market cap that it does. Comparable to VertCoin with far less awareness.

Note: the list is missing our /r/DRKCoin subscribers so I added that in.

We're not even a blip on the radar yet, but I think that's good.  It's funny eduffield said he wanted to have the same kind of growth Bitcoin had, and though it's expedited, it's really amazing how closely we're following their footprints.  On an expedited timeline, yes, but similar growth pattern.

I'm a fan of this coin and have some. But promotion isn't going to make/break this coin. If you really believe in it, don't stress on the daily price. This will rise or fall based on 2 things.

1. How successful DarkSend is when people starting kicking the tires and test how anonymous the transactions truly are.

2. Market adoption. I think there's enough people, regardless of transaction type, that would like to know it's truly (or more?) anonymous. If it works as advertised, people will want & use it.



You know, I see this market adoption sentiment everyday and I have to ask, if people don't know about the product, how can they adopt it? Believe it or not, marketing can make or break a coin. A quick stroll down the alt coin list shows as much. I'm not even talking about the pump and dumps. See Quark, Max, vert and the like.

I won't lie, seeing those coins gain exposure while dark remains dormant is disheartening. Hell a quick google search turns up very little on dark. That list of coin exposure should tell us something. No one is going to market dark for us. If we say we are going to hold for long term, you should understand that this is a different calibre of markets. New coins saturate the markets everyday. Lets not bury our heads in the sand here. See earthcoin for a great example of a coin that depended too much on the whole "long term" plan. That coin has lost 800% value in under 2 months and is sinking lower as other alt coins rise.

Just my two cents... And to answer the unasked question, yes I try to promote dark coin on Reddit.

+1  We will need some good marketing...  Things very very rarely sell themselves.  The best ideas/technology often don't win out.  There's much more to success than technical merit, a sad but true fact.

I think the OP should probably be updated to give people who glance at the thread an indication of the progress that is going on, and a more current state of things.

Is Cryptsy for anybody else buggy as hell right now? Buying and selling seems to be totally fucked up.

A little slow but generally working, tinkering with daytrading this coin.

Karma buy at 1 satoshi.  Dumped before the block halving next week.

Got to love BTC dumpers who lost on Mt Gox.

CASH coin too.

DarkCoin

+1

One of the few coins that brings real and new innovations to the market.

Not sure about the part where it can not be mined. PoS is all fine and well, but no mining?

CASH is probably the most innovative coin on the market and so poorly advertised and understood. Anti-difficulty-scam coins are just not interesting to auto-switching pools.

What do you mean it cannot be mined?

Let's ban Tor while we're at it... or ban the things that already banned someone might buy in a banned transaction with a banned currency.

Re: Is it me or is Darkcoin the only coin with real potentional?

Well your bigger picture may be tech. My bigger picture sadly is profit. Tech advanced in a direction that hurts profit = bad

Let me put it simply ...perhaps the fault is mine for not being clear.... here goes....

Crypto going mainstream even in it's current form (non dark)  = bigger profit for everyone involved in crypto right now.

Crypto with advanced anon tech not getting to go mainstream = less profit for everyone invovled in crypto right now.

I like profit as much as the next guy, but to me adoption has more important implications than profit, though I think dark achieves both of our ends.

I simply do not see dark crypto as a threat to the crypto ecosystem. I agree with you that the bitcoin foundation would compel us to submit to anal probes if it meant getting eBay to accept it, however I think that is why altcoins like dark are necessary, as the anon feature which will invariably be painted "evil" is segregated. The anon feature however is very necessary to its growth as the core principles of crypto are dependent upon it. There are literally posts on reddit  by "libertarians" warning against using crypto because its a government scheme to track you. Keep in mind, the MSM is already painting Bitcoin as the criminal currency, darkcoin can draw no-worse attention.

Crypto is anti-government by breaking the fiat monopoly, so anonymity is necessary to be effective at subverting currency controls. Bitcoin is the backdoor to crypto acceptance, while darkcoin can be the crypto equivalent of a swiss bank account. And last I checked, Switzerland isn't rich just because of watches.

With Bitcoin being the "reserve currency" of crypto, darkcoin will drive its price up because it is just now one more tool that can be bought with bitcoins (because as we know there will never be fiat-> dark exchanges). Darkcoin is dependent on Bitcoin staying the way it is.

Not just you, I typically care little about alts because bitcoin is functionally "the reserve currency" of cryptos.

Dark is first to market with a feature much clamored for. Others may state "any coin can do that if they want", the fact is they aren't and by that logic bitcoin would be worthless because there are clones. First to market is key.

Dark also seems to have some competent organization behind it, which is rare.

The user base won't be just the drug world and pedo's, but people who are into crypto because they believe in the political promise. Built-in anonymity is a huge component in achieving these ends.

The government is useless to stop it, you're a fool if you fear the effects of a ban-hammer... the government can't even keep drugs out of prison.

Lastly, stupid and useless coins go places all the time, that should build confidence in a coin that actually has some utility over bitcoin.

The tech is good, the devs are smart. The result is bad.

The gov could crush crypto as we know it like an ant.

China just suggested they didn't like it much and bitcoin fell like a stone.

The US gov says it is banned and persons using will be treated as money launderers. BTC = $1

If you don't believe the btc team or ltc team couldn't do the same thing.... you are wrong. They do not want to because they know it would be a big move backwards in terms of mainstream usage and acceptance.

Let's wait and see. However i think you know really how this will play out.  The hype over dark currency will be short lived for most. I am saying drk is at the peak or near it's peak. Lets see if i am correct or not.

How is the result  bad? because it is your opinion dark=risk?

No, it couldn't, the government is ineffectual... it hates bitcoin but won't fight it because it doesn't want to get slapped around like a bitch. It knows full well it is much more efficacious to keep legal and control end points than to ban completely, hense why it is easier to get weed in high school than alcohol as an example. DarkCoin is the Tor of Bitcoin, I see no bans on Tor yet and it has been well known for quite some time.

China? an exchange ran into regulatory hurdles and btc RETRACED... FROM ALL TIME HIGHS. It isn't like it collapsed.

If the gov banned all crypto, there is still rest of world and agorists using it. It will be a setback on valuation but would probably still be up over 1000% over the last 52 weeks. Keep in mind, it has little ability to enforce these laws.

LTC is useless garbage, it offers no advantages over bitcoin, its a chump coin for those who are angry they got into bitcoin to late. Even dogecoin is superior to it. If LTC can maintain a respectable market cap, so can a coin that actually offers some utility.








Well, if you think it will just be a minor setback in price if the US bans bitcoin...... then we'll just have to wait and see.

Let's see how the opinion here goes after a few months if drk continues to do well and spawns a lot of drk clones.

You see it as a positive, i see it as a  positive from a tech side, and negative with regard the bigger picture..........if getting crypto into mainstream is the goal anyway.

I fail to see how something that is positive from the aspect of tech can also be negative from the bigger picture when the bigger picture is tech. The mainstream caveat is also dubious, we're talking about a successful altcoin, not adoption of bitcoin by 7 billion people.

The position you are advocating, is that a technological advancement in crypto that adds to the crypto toolbelt is a net negative for the crypto eco-system. Does not compute.
