i concur.  this is getting ridiculous.  its actually been ridiculous for awhile now.  this should not be a "troll box".  wow.  i keep lurking to see if there is any useful informatio and maybe useful educated information.... but its not happening. just a complete lack of respect and intelligence. is the darkcoin forum moderated for abusive behavior?  

So how do you know the reasons for the delay are real? Seems to be a lot of open issues at the moment for a mature coin.

Yikes!  Sorry if my questions offended you at all.  I really just want to know what the current situation is.  Thanks for your links but I still haven't heard from the dev regarding this matter.  Does he even post here?

I want the answer directly from the dev, not some random person.

The first thing the king will dislike is not having blind sigs. To him this is a "chokepoint" and means the system is not decentralised, even though masternodes are randomly chosen from a pool of hundreds if not thousands of masternodes. If Evan fixes this in RC4, then maybe he will say that the system is decentralised.

Actually I don't hold either of these coins anymore, I already rode this anon fad to the peak.
The DRK devs should not care what another coin is doing, and if they feel the need to bash them it just shows how childish the holders are and that they are clearly threatened/unprofessional.
It's the same as McDonald's tweeting "lol taco bell is so bad".
It doesn't matter though, the whale group that has control over both of these coins want the fighting to make it easier to pump one and dump the other.

I don't usually talk much about price, because honestly I don't really care. I'm mostly concerned with functionality and building something with real utility.

However, that's what the forums have been consumed with so here's my take on this. Darkcoin is six months old, last month we went from $0.77 to $15.00. It was literally four weeks long, and what goes up must come down. Crypto currencies grow in this way, it's actually normal. Next we'll form a base somewhere about here and things will get quiet before we make our next move to the upside. 

I don't post all of the time because, I work insane amounts of time on Darkcoin. This is my job and when I'm posting I'm not coding. Plus, I'm an introvert and I really like putting on headphones and cranking out some code. It's what I do.

What's next?

Things will relax and I'll start perfecting the hard fork for the masternode payments, then RC3. When we're happy with that, I have contacts now all over the media that would love to do another article and update our progress.

Speaking of things coming down, that goes for X11Coin too. From the looks of it, you trust your money to the decentralized mixer by the way. They're pretty secretive about how it works, but that's what I gather from it. I'd love to get a response. DarkSend is trustless for a reason, you don't want the "XNodes" running off with the money.

I don't really follow most crypto stuff - but what's DRK have? Dark sending?

I will be very impressed if drk can maintain this growth without a correction.. there is always a correction.. how big is the question.

All the money is flowing to DRK atm. When DRK will drop, money will come back.

ok FINALLY! someone who isn't just pushing crap around like a dung beetle. this is what i want to talk about!

So as far as i know, there's still money laundering which happens with both the USD and Bitcoin, but since they're both traceable (serial numbers on bank notes, and the blockchain on bitcoin). The argument has been made that as long as there's fiat dollar bills in circulation, you can't fully clamp down on things like crypto, as dollar bills are just as easy to move around. ok, everyone still with me?

I've also read that a bitcoin transaction can ultimately be traced. That some people at gawker bought weed from the silkroad publically, and asked if anyone could trace it. it was hard, but they found someone smart at a university who could ultimately trace the transaction back to them. This is the crux of my argument, if say the government wants to trace something badly enough, then they can using the blockchain, if large amounts of fiat turn into crypto, then there's a record of that transaction, it can ultimately be traced back.

With darksend, if i'm not mistaken, this ability to ultimately be traced back gets extinguished. much to the joy of annonymous supporters, and much to the dismay of law enforcement officials.

I'm not saying that every bitcoin transaction is traceable, infact it looks like you have to expend a fair amount of energy and resources to actually do a proper trace on funds moving around with crypto, but it is *mostly* possible. i can't help but think that this is what is keeping a high value on crypto at the moment.  and that if this suddenly vanished, and you COULDN'T move fiat into crypto as easily, nowhere as easily at all, then it would not cause the price to "explode" cause you could never do anything with it. value comes largely out of market cap which is tied to liquidity. am i wrong?

also, as a side note. i asked in here clear as day what the best alternative to DRK was which used X11. I had read about HIRO in another thread, which made me come here. Everyone knows that DRK is the x11 originator, obviously i'd come to the source, to the originator of the algorithm for clues as to a master list of other coins using the same algorithm. I have not seen a full list of all available X11 currencies yet, so far the only thing anyone has told me in here is to look at HIRO. All i want is X11, and maybe DGW, that's it. If anyone can post a link to all the available X11 currencies i'd be very happy to read it, as i have 7MH which is sitting around because my building hasn't turned the AC on yet, and i'm tired of walking around butt nekkid xD
