My 2 cents:

1) Much like the silkroad has taken all the drug related violence out of the business by giving users the possibility to buy drugs online,
(without the dangerous hassle of going to some psychotic guy waiting at a dark streetcorner in some fucked up neighborhood, while running the risk of having a confrontation with police...)
darkcoin can build on that success and help create the next step in this necessary process of truly helping drug addicts.

The possibility of ordering drugs online is a very positive thing, because it reduces violence, and creates more safety and reliability.
(You think some street dealer cares about his reputation? He'll try to abuse whoever is forced to deal with him)

I am 100% sure that many drugdealers HATE it that you can now buy drugs online anonymously from some remote part of the country.
Drug producers on the other hand welcome darkcoin, but not the dealers themselves.

I therefor imagine a world were this middleman called dealer disappears completely.

Isn't that just another middleman that abused his position for so many years and whose time to disappear has now come?
I have known some dealers in my life and they were all sociopathic pieces of shit.
It delights me to imagine a future where those assholes don't exist anymore.

Instead we now have a decentralized system that brings together drug producers and drug users. Isn't that brilliant?
Isn't that what this is all about? Enabling a free market while reducing violence?

So watch out when you read headlines like "Darkcoin used by drugdealers". Because that's exactly what is NOT happening anymore.

Drug prohibition is an inhuman thing anyway, and it fills me with joy that the mess created by stupid government laws is slowly being offset by decentralized technology.


2) If your money of choice can't be used to buy drugs or pay for sex etc... what good is it anyway?
And how exactly would such things be prevented? By having government approve every transaction first?
Money doesn't stink, and when it comes to price discovery all "sinful" (lol) morality goes out the window.

I for one welcome any "illegal" activities that use darkcoin and hope that in the near future some large porn producers start accepting darkcoin, it's the next logical step.

Disclaimer: I condemn any form of violence. So when I say "illegal" activities I include all the things that government arbitrarily declares illegal.
(how can it be illegal when those things don't represent a violent crime that creates a victim.)

where on reddit?

hehehe 

Or wait and go for panic+buy pretty soon

you guessed correct, you need to transfer yr funds from yr old wallet into a newly created wallet .. too much has changed
with regards to Darksend. you can do a -reindex on yr current blockchain if necessary, no need to do a whole new blockchain download.
try a small test amount first from old to new adress before sending it all over... and then make plenty backups (pref one right after you created and encrypted
the new wallet and after each transaction .. you will need to do a lot more frequent backups then in the past)
 
edit : eh yeah, i'm done editing now.. sorry about that

So, after a long time since updating wallets... I grabbed the new one and replaced my old version... I finally tried the DarkSend thing and it just froze on me... am I correct that I might have seen something that said old wallet.dat files might not work with the later versions of the wallet?

Nothing was lost, I had backups and not worried about that... but just wondered if i need to transfer them and set up a fresh download of the blockchain and set up a new wallet file? Any help appreciated.

repost while everyone is in an optimistic mood:

open bazaar needs donations.  maybe the DRK whales/users can pool in and help...?  could do well for darkcoin's standing and its community.

i believe open bazaar and darkcoin is a very good match.  might as well start now by lending a helping hand.

what do you guys think?

ok. Your forgiven I'm sure.

Best to use the wink symbol for supreme unambiguity.

No worries.

Your welcome for the bump to 0.007 guys  

Wow, they are even starting to talk about us on the Bitcoin markets daily thread on Reddit...


Edit: 1 MN left up to 0.00725

I apologize. Been holding since the .015s and buying more as I could.  Just got a little excited when I saw it on top on bitcoinwisdom.  LONG LIVE DRK.

I didn't call him an idiot. I simply said to reference there BEFORE one looks like an idiot. There is a subtle difference. It's a bold statement to say DRK has higher 24 hour volume than LTC.

go for the green button guys !!

Then you shouldn't be posting.

jiggytom had a point - it isn't insignificant that DRK passes LTC in volume, even if it's just the exchange that he/she happens to be looking at at the time.

All you have to do is point out that there's a global picture as well as a local one. How's anyone new ever going to learn anything if they just get their knuckles wrapped whenever they post anything that's not bullet proof-5-star expert approved ?

Heh, putting up with rumdumbs in the channel is driving me to the breaking point.

we are in the same boat guys. be gentle...

a little harsh

That wasn't very nice.

There is more than one exchange. Reference there before looking like an idiot.
