Whoever has knowledge of cryptos and wants to invest is already aware of DRK and has or has not taken a position.
Come on, with 534 currencies no one can really know them all. Mainstream is still only a vaguely familiar with the concept of BTC and DRK is only recently really getting out of obscurity.
Just the other day I spoke with a friend of mine, the oldest hacker in the world, a genius whose spiritual and intellectual father was Richard Feynman and he has never heard of Darkcoin before. I piqued his interest and hope he'd let some of his crazy old guys know about it also and, hopefully, contribute ideas etc.
It is a long, long, long, long, did I say long already?, road before the Darkcoin is really a part of everyday's life for millions of people all over the world...
There is an unimaginable amount of talent and skill lying dormant and getting wasted within those oldschool hacker and cracker groups (who are mostly very poor as well), if you have any connections to those people, try to get them involved. It's easy to do the thing you've always done, and then what happens is that the next generation will overtake you and make you obsolete. Don't let that talent be wasted, get them to build the future with us.
Hey man, thank you for this!!
You're spot on - I am meeting with the genius tomorrow (he had his modules to measure solar winds placed on the Moon, with Apollo 15 & 16) who is far from being rich - but even our first meeting (when I introduced the overall crypto scene and Darkcoin in particular) was such a pleasure. He get's it immediately, his questions are penetrating and he will, or already has, notify one monstrous intelligent human form about it as well (the other guy was illegal, hehe... in Hong Kong, running hosting service for...) and they will think about it.
I am a tech n00b but I always had an ability to see the potential (and outcome) within many different fields and he appreciate this ability. The fact I forked my own money (I am even further from being rich than him) into Darkcoin might make him really curious. I will certainly encourage him and his old guard guys to get involved in whatever way they want.
Even if they were here, "only" brainstorming ideas would be of tremendous value for the community...
