Could I just remind people that this is one of the immense powers of Darkcoin in terms of securing anonymisation of funds.

A principle known as "redundancy" and it's far more powerful than a fancy anon-algo.

The reason is that redundancy compensates many times over for any flaws or weaknesses in the particular anonymsation algorithm in use.

As an analogy, think of painting a room. What do painters do ? Do they put one thick coat on ? No - they always put many thin coats, because if you put one thick coat you get inconsistencies - in some areas it's very thick but there will also be tiny bits that get missed completely. This 'thick coats' approach is positively dangerous in an anonymous cryptocurrency because the tiny missed patches will correspond to individual transactions of individual people and that's unacceptable statistically.

With its pre-emptive, multiple rounds Darkcoin is achieving 2 things to a level far in excess of the alternative "realtime at the point of transaction" anonymisation:

[1] - a greater depth of privacy than any single algorithm could acheive

[2] - a greater level of consistency across all transactions than could otherwise be achieved

So when discussing this concept, I recommend the painting analogy - painters like Darkcoin !

They just play with it, pretend. Like China did.
In a few months we are going to see Putin here on bct asking how to backup wallet.

Oh Dark will be fine. I've followed this coin for a long time, I've written about it and I never ever worry about its future because it's one of the obvious strong ones to survive whatever is coming. If you want to make money...shit, crypto is clearly not for money makers anymore.

I have loved DRK since the beginning and you know how many I own? 10? Why? I can't afford to buy lots of DRK. Do I care? No, it's a beautiful coin.
whats your drk addy? I`ll tip you with 10% of your stash pbleak Wink

Just added to my signature there. But by no means is it necessary. I am a (DRK)-believer no matter if I never make a cent off it. It's the only coin that ever promised the true *crypto* meaning behind the cryptocurrency enterprise.
For the believer like you Wink ab0905bc153cfe0d0d57031585e891a0a4717de80e2ee6f979cda3120b092793
I remember when Minotaur tipped Strix with 10drk and he is here now with his excellent knowledge and his very good posts.
Darkcoin has great community which not many coins have.
After the storm comes the sun but let the storm pass by.

Indeed, trust in the tech and all else follows Smiley

here because of what you can do with the coin, and a general philosophical identification with the goals and ideals of the DRK dev. team

Superbly put strix. Read every word of that and couldn't have articulated it better.

There comes a point where you just have to sit it out and allow the plant to grow. No amount of tugging on the leaves will grow it faster.


I'm here because I have a masternode fetish. Seriously though, the fact that X11 was only CPU mineable at the beginning really motivated me to try out mining and then I was hooked. If you look through my post history you can see me begging people to take pokerstars USD transfers for some Darkcoin and I didn't find anyone in time so I started mining. My faith in darkcoin was unbelievable, in my mind it was just a matter of time before it exploded. Then I found out how to create/clone amazon instances and set up hundreds, making so much darkcoin I get nostalgic just thinking about it. At one point I was a big part of the network hashing power. Biggest in the Official Darkcoin pool by far for a few days. Fun times.

Yes...I knew I remember seeing that username on Darkpool back in the beginning and going "HOLY SHIT!!!!"  That guy must have a warehouse full of Xeon servers somewhere rocking up the mining! Man...those were heady days...I was always near the bottom of that list Sad.   LOL now that I make that connection to where I remember seeing ya...I'll keep an eye on your posts.  Cheers Bro!

Coming from you Toknormal, I consider that high praise--thank you--you are gracious. Grin

I might add that for TBs, price is incidental to value; for pure investors, price is the only value.

It is also sadly true that in developing markets, investors seek to drain all value other than price from the equation, which leads to the development of derivatives. Bitcoin will survive simply due to its Wall-street attachments. Investors will make money whether the price rises or falls due to the ability to sell short. But ultimately the only value, and what is traded is simply price.

Again, thanks!

I'm not a bot. I'll be honest.

I made around $20k when the big DRK pump happened. Exited then. Never touched it ever again.
Not willing to waste my time debating delusional bagholders who're afraid for their investments.
Been there. It's boring.

Regarding my vocabulary, lol. I am fluent in 6 languages. How about you, Johnny English?

Hope this post works like a chill pill for you.

Just because someone speaks 6 languages doesn't mean higher intelligence now does it? I speak 3 and i'm as dumb as a stump chump.
