Attention DarkShibes,
Me and my team have done our absolute best to stay a step ahead of any attempt at FUD, and/or defamation of our coin and our community. Despite our best efforts, we still were not to able to prevent it from happening, and to be absolutely honest we are starting to think that its a pipe dream to try and accomplish this goal. We can move forward building upon our successes and learning from our potential failures.
I want to take a brief moment to highlight some of the positive things that have been accomplished by DarkShibe and our loyal DarkShibe Army. Let these milestones serve as a staple in your mind the next time you hear someone call our coin and/or our community a scam.
- We had a completely fair launch. First 100 blocks were 0 reward, there was no insta-mine from our developer team and or supporters.
- We launched on two of the biggest public pools, Suchpool and Suprnova. Both pools are widely respected within the alt coin community as two of the premier pools for mining alt coins
- We had a code review from Earlz, a trusted community member who aims to protect the community and miners from potential scams.
- We have a completely transparent dev team and premine. Although there are some visibility issues with the premine moving due to staking, it still remains intact less the bounties paid out.
- We were added within 48 hours to two of the top tiered exchanges in the alt market, and two of the most trusted exchanges — Cryptsy and Bittrex.
So the next time you see someone post FUD on your coin and try to attempt to shake you out of your position, you should step back and take a moment to think about the type of community you are part of and make a decision based off of that information. If someone tries to take something dear to you you defend it, you don’t give it away in fear
With that information off our chest, we feel the need to beat a dead horse a few more times and speak about the following things.
- Premine — Remaining premine is in tact, we have only touched this to pay bounties. We have moved the premine to a new address so its easier for the community to track. We will continue to use the premine to progress our coin, not to pad our wallets. We moved it because for some odd reason the address in the genesis block showed that premine was moved on block 250. We think this has something to do with us staking the premine. Our new premine address is DLPTLtjKkm3ufe473ujbXHpwKazhBom5va. The TX ID from the move of the premine from original genisis wallet to new wallet is e0bae2ca13ff43e951331b1614b46a4721c72f1e052b58abbbbdd8994f0ef79b.
- FUD — Any and all FUD regarding hidden blocks, hidden premine, etc is all baseless. There is no malicious content in our code and there never will be.
- Market Conditions — We do not control the market, its actually sad how little control of the market we have. Whales will be whales and sharks will be sharks, if you have been following the twitter-sphere you know who was responsible for halting our forward momentum, which will only be temporary.
Moving forward we want to focus on the one thing that we have full control over which is our direction we want to move forward with the coin. Our development and marketing team were all involved with Dogecoin. We loved the amazing community aspect but wanted something more privacy centric as well as to have better control over inflation through POS.
We are going to rely heavily upon our fellow DarkShibes to determine the direction we choose to follow when moving forward with our coin. With that being said, we want to share a few things that we have been working on in terms of progressing our currency forward.
BurnPool and Community CampfireA unique multi pool that mines alternate currencies and exchanges them for DarkShibe. There is one unique twist to this multi pool as a portion of the mined earnings will be used to burn DarkShibe coins to further reduce supply and make the coins you own more scarce. Structure would be a 2% pool fee for exchanging, and a 15% burn rate of coins. You would receive approximately 83% of what you mine, the remaining coins will be burnt.
We would have a community gathering where once a week we would burn the coins made from the multi pool together over a video feed, aka the Community Campfire.
Welcome to the DarkSide CampaignThis would be a campaign focused on increasing adoption of our currency. We as a community would use various social media outlets to attempt to broaden recognition of our currency by targeting other crypto currency users and convincing them to join our community. We would offer community bounties, and have potential leader boards for DarkShibe users and have a ranking system based off of referrals.
MEME CampaignThis would be a community wide contest where our community members take DOGE memes and give them a Dark Twist. We would pick 5 of the top designs submitted and award them prizes for their hard work. We would also use these images in our next social media campaign.
These are just a few of the things we have been brainstorming as a team and wanted to share them with our DarkShibe's. We also encourage new ideas, so over the next 3-4 days we will be entertaining community ideas for development and progression and then we will take a community vote to decide which way we proceed. We aim to be a community driven cryptocurrecny with a bit of a dark twist to it.
Oh, PS:
We have new wallets with our new branding included in them, they do have a tiny hint of our past in the wallets though
