Impressive Team job.
My respects to DRK developers.

The main issue with the first days miners is the same as new rich people. Many lottery winners found a worse life than before in few years, just because they don't have idea how to handle the fortune. Exactly the same happen with so many sport players, singers and most "instant fame" people. They never got the opportunity to learn how to handle the new situation and fall in addictions, start doing wrong things and other typical problems that for sure many people here know.

Just read some pages following the DRK explosive grow, many of the early holders start doing the wrong things. They never understand that the small / large fortune that they acquire came from other small and large investors and not from their "genius investment techniques".
I don't have any problem with that, because I was fortunate to find Darkcoin at not so high value.

My concern now is to release a reminder: do not invest the money that you will need in the short term. All crypto-coins, including BTC, LTC and DRK, are high-risk investments (good for great profits or huge loses). In my particular case, I can't afford lose more, so I'm quit, at least for the moment.
Be careful with your decisions and don't put your family or your self in risk following people in a wild-west environment, with no insurance or any other entity to protect you (this is the real wild-west financial world with no restrictions, no regulations no lawyers. It's not facebook, or a radio/TV game show.

A smart community is one key for the success in the wild-west financial sector.

Hope will be useful for somebody.

I agree with Ignition75. Evan, eltito, GhostPlayer, chaeplin,propulsion, AlexGr, tanteastefan1 and 2 and so many others here are all great DRK contributors, as you Ignition75.
Hope life give me the opportunity for a friendly handshake with them sometime in the near future.

oh yes, he is awesome. Is so predictable that is helping me to sell the left overs.
Thank you.

Today is July 15th. DRK lost the magic.

Can't believe where we are as DRK community.

quote for the record. Sad how you are losing 196 points in bitcointalk. Will be smart, just wait before write something related with the price.

I'm not the bad guy, sorry. Hope the honest people that need the money in short term will not be in trouble with their finances.

The reputation of all people suggesting HOLD or even worst BUY BUY BUY could have a bad record in bitcointalk. I'm just recording my position, that's it.

Tons of other eCash years before DRK, sorry.

I have the remaining 400 DRK to sell. if you want them, I can sell to you all of them at 0.0098 right now.

Tired to read tons of the same comments. Same copy-paste comments than other coins. DRK doesn't have the magic any more. Even 0.097 is too high.
Take it or leave. Everybody need to be responsible of their actions. Privacy on BTC and LTC is coming. No need isolated coins anymore.

Sad to see that DRK is going nowhere.

Unfortunately (and the main problem of this coin), most of DRK supporters doesn't have the money to keep the price a float because almost everybody here that call idiots and ignorant to potential investors(with few exceptions) just have a false sense of power when they got hundreds of DRK for nothing. They don't understand what is the meaning of capital loses because they put real work/money/values at risk.

For those that paid good amount of money/time, my advice is to sell as soon as possible. It will go down very hard this week. (I'm trying to do that with huge loses again).

Hi eltito,edduffield
I will appreciate your feedback/comments about the proposal that I sent some days ago (PM) about a secure way to create a Masternode pool or "shared wallet".

Take some time to read the PDF (will be more useful). Maybe the reporter' point of view is not the best, but the PDF document has some interesting topics. Excellent reference to evaluate the potential risks of any coin, including Bitcoin and darkcoin.

Congratulations!.

I hear some similar stories. I meet a guy in TigerDirect store that sold his 2000 BTC for about $3000.

I was in the Aurora train some months ago. It was really painful. Same comments, same fuds, same trolling, same "innovative things" (airdrop).
People yelling "I will hold my AUR to the end!", today AUR= $0.15 from better don't mention here.

We need to be honest with the community, the DRK price is under a high pressure from large forces. It's a 7 double digits lottery at this moment.
I consider the fundamentals and dev team great with an exceptional work, but they are not enough at this moment to keep the price afloat.

Here and now, we can see the real true. Many users on this forums with some illusions that they can buy all the dumps yelling "yes, more cheap DRKs please". They don't have idea what they are saying, and they don't have the power to buy too much. I remember a guy imploring to drop the price because he want to buy more few days ago (I can't believe that).

We are at the mercy of these large forces. Many users here call them "idiot", retard and many other insults (in some cases by accident), they are laughing now.

Hope people learn the lesson for a better future of this coin, otherwise will be the end. Everybody need to learn how to handle an investment complex worldwide community.

I'm holding my DRKs, but please, it's an extremely high risk game at this moment, make your decision accordingly.

Never, ever put your family or yourself on the line with the illusion of be an instant millionaire in few months, because these things only happen in a very low percent of the population and in low budget TV movies (Play the lottery and probably you will have more chances).

We have RC3 running for some days.
First RC3 enforcement, wait, then RC4 announcement.
I'm NOT in the club of RC4 immediately.
