I think is appropiate now to put this old post of mine in perspective. I hope that the investors here that were not originally invested in DRK, actually bought some Darkcoin. People like MyFarm, thelonecrouton, defunctec, Jesse Livermore, etc, are for the most part not affected by this failure. They could only win if things went well and if not they still had their DRK. I think they were taking a measured risk so now they just go back to focus on DRK.
For any other members of the SPR community think about getting some DRK and helping us build the best coin in the market. Darkcoin has a long way to go still and we have a transparent development team with a proven track record that will not abandon the coin. We need all the help we can get and you already know how our coin works.
Welcome if you decide to join the DRK community.
I must say that I do enjoy having SPR around and I am excited to see what happens. I am not investing in it though, as I don´t see the added value proposition in terms of the end user compared to DRK. The differences are of form, do the masternodes a little different, do the mining a little different, but nothing different than DRK or BTC for the end user. For now the only end user directed feature I have heard of is copying InstantX from DRK, but DRK already has that. So no original added value from an end user perspective yet, lets see what the future holds.
On the other hand, I dont like investing in anonymous developers and also I have the feeling that some early holders have more power over the project than the developer himself. So in the end, I wouldnt know who I am entrusting my money with.
The last thing that I would say is that the DRK holders that are here have all their bases covered, they already own nice amounts of DRK and is not like they sold those to hold SPR. So the newbies here should be careful and do the same and cover their bases buy some DRK. Some of the DRK holders here see this as a side investment if it does not go well they still have their DRK so they are OK if it goes well they make some profit, so they don't have much to loose.
Other DRK holders saw an opportunity to buy lots of this really cheap and promote it as an alternative within the community and then others bought that idea as they could buy more of this than they could DRK and are hoping for rewards. Those are all very good valid reasons to take a risk, but again, they all have their bases covered. If you are a newbie here with no DRK holdings you are assuming a greater risk than they are and that puts you at a disadvantage if you have decided you want to support this coin you must hedge your investment and buy some DRK, since for now it is trying to be a copy of a much more established coin, it makes no sense to only hold the copy. The ones that hold the original and the copy too, have all their bases covered are doing it right. The ones that only hold the copy are running a greater risk and are at the hands of the first group.
Good luck with the project, lets see how it goes. I am staying with DRK though a lot more to do still. Cheers.
