Paycoinpoker: Spectacular Cryptocurrency Poker accepting DRK

DRK is my one of top favourite.... like and love very much

2,291 from 2,328 on March 13, if the data on https://drk.mn/masternodes.html are accurate in real time.

With a heavy heart I accepted Evan's decision to ditch the name Darkcoin (one of the best fucking growing brands I came across in my investment life) but have closed MN and sold all of my coins nevertheless. I did it at the recent price peak and used that calamity to get out of all crypto holdings I had (granted, only BTC and DRK) i order to re-evaluate my thinking and future approach. Any sort of mess is always a negative for the underlying investment. Frankly, I am surprised and relieved the price did not plummet which tells me there's enough support for the technology left...

So, I nibbled a tiny little bit and bought back some Darkcoins, just to feel I am still a part of it, but herein comes my ongoing dilemma. A part of what?

If you'd read Bitcoin: Technical Background and Data Analysis study done by the Anton Badev and Matthew Chen of the Finance and Economics Discussion Series Divisions of Research & Statistics and Monetary Affairs Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D.C. you'll see that even a stalwart that's bitcoin did not really penetrate and much less disturbed payment system. Most of the bitcoins are used for either investment i.e. stay in the wallets or are traded on exchanges. Let me quote parts of the study I find quite relevant for this discussion:

"Our analysis suggests half of these transactions involve less than U.S.$100 equivalent, and for the period for which we have data for Satoshi Dice, most of these small-value transactions were related to the online gambling service. Relatively less frequent large value transactions drive the average transaction value to levels above U.S.$40,000.00 equivalent value, and are not likely to involve payments for goods and services.

Comparing the number of transactions recorded on the blockchain and the total number of transactions reported by the exchanges, we see that the majority of transactions on the Bitcoin network occur through exchanges.

Broadly speaking, our empirical exercise documents general patterns of Bitcoin usage, and examines the use of Bitcoin for investment and payment purposes. We found that the number of daily users may have doubled every eight months, the transaction volume is negligible compared to the domestic volume of U.S. payment systems. Our analysis of data from the Bitcoin system further suggests that Bitcoin is still barely used for payments for goods and services.

The number of bitcoin unique users reached close to 100,000 by the beginning of 2014."

Even the stalwart of crypto, bitcoin is still used on the lunatic fringes of society and Darkcoin was / is the lunatic fringe of the lunatic fringe.

To dream and hope re-branded Darkcoin would suddenly awake an Average Joe as someone has said on this forum is a pure nonsense at worst and wishful thinking at best. This equally nonsensical "DASH," already mired in so many Trademark related issues, is so bland, so lukewarm, so devoid of wit, passion, message that it blows my mind away anyone could seriously consider it. And yes, I get it, it has been seriously considered by many serious people here, over on DRT, in Ambassador room etc., but what it shows me is:

a) a lack of courage;
b) willingness to appease while there's no one to really be appeased (some exchanges said they "might" accept Darkcoin if it changes its name, same with several merchants who also might adopt it but are "not guaranteeing" anything;
c) a lack of vision. "DASH" wants to be everything for everyone while, again, no one fucking cares but us, on the lunatic fringes.

I, for one, had managed to have several friends invest, into Darkcoin I brought in a Python programming genius to look at and promote Darkcoin and have been very active on developing several ideas based on Darkcoin's unique properties. Now everything is on hold for there is NO MESSAGE. Sure, some cute graphs / animations about Dash are really good, but who cares? You think the merchants, seeing 40,000 other merchants accepting Bitcoin will now suddenly flock to DASH because it is so fucking cool?

No, they are not (see the study about bitcoin adoption).

Darkcoin, as the fantastic brand, should have been left alone, to grow among the lunatic fringes of societies, it should have been offered to Occupy where anonymity is needed, it should have been a part of Wikileaks, it should have grown among the people that fight for privacy, for our right to property, to our right to be anonymous when we want to be, it should've been a part of Tor, and it should've been a tool to help us fight for our freedom. And all over the world the people live in a much more oppressive societies than ours (USA or any other Western country) where we still have some wealth and some illusion of freedom, and them, in communist, totalitarian, murderous countries would've benefited greatly form what Darkcoin offers. It would've been an instrument for the said freedom. It would have a fucking stance, it would've been a contender

Now some "DASH" wants to be everything for everyone because "the technology is the same."  And the very technology - its anonymous features - will be so viciously attacked when the time is right and the Overlords unleash their dogs, from the law enforcement, from the mass-media etc,. that would spook that non-existent user, "Average Joe" so much that he will never ever consider buying his six pack with Darkcoin again.

At this moment I think Darkcoin / Dash is at 50% - 50% of surviving. One serious price dump, another developer or two exit, an exchange that said "maybe" to Dash now says no and the Dash and its community are a joke, because they have acted "preemptively" when no real need for preventing anything had existed and the Dash would dash away back to obscurity.

Ditching Darkcoin name was akin to ditching Darkcoin's philosophy for the vain hope Dash would attract Average Joe. And to conclude: I would love nothing more than to be proven wrong and for Dash to become a brand associated with digital cash and a perfect payment system saving billions in remittance fees all over the world.

But a stance-less product that wants to please everyone when it is clearly impossible does not excite me anymore.

 Jesus... how long does it take to sign and encrypt a 161 KB PDF file?

 The signing alone is taking forever... PGP is still a bit confusing to me

So is DRK changing its name? why? when thanks in advance

BlockaFett; I suspect I will retract the offer in my previous post (once confirmed). I think you have saved me some DASH to give to someone else. Will tip you for your research as soon as I get my masternode.  

You can not file a patent on a name, thus, your coin has no patent.

Indeed! I gave up on my multi-sig masternode idea because I don't have the coding skills. But I am halfway through reading Mastering Bitcoin, by Antanopoulos. (If anyone builds on this suggestion I would not be offended by a tip. )

If you thought DASH was going to present a threat to the banksters' well being-- If When someone does develop a workable trustless/private, shared, DASH masternode system, It will be their deathknell. (Sadly, the ambiguity in the preceding "their" is intentional. )
