Yes, I heard about DRKLord, any news about his condition?

If I am not mistaken, DRKLord is not the creator of these graphics (he's more like the project coordinator), but that there is a whole team behind it, and in particular a user named raze ?

If there's anyone on here that's motivated and knowledgeable for this stuff I'd say it's you georgem. You've demonstrated a continuous capacity to produce content and you appear to have pretty good knowledge on this stuff (we just don't want any titty/bum stuff included in the UI...Ha!)

Not sure if you're aware (as you haven't referenced this) but BCT user DRKLord had done a huge amount of work on a new wallet UI and it was looking absolutely tremendous. Unfortunately (I believe) he became ill so hasn't been around for a couple of months now. Here's oen of his many postings showing what he's been producing.

Sod legibility, the Masternode Management Suite To Be now has redheads!

Interesting. Would be so awesome to finally get a Qt expert on board. I tried to look into it, but Qt is way over my head.

I was gonna ask, are the UI elements available for download somewhere?
I mean the essential graphics like buttons, menues, fonts, checkboxes, textfields, scrollbars etc...

I am working on turning my forum extracting script into a (desktop) app, and was wondering, hm... I create apps all the time, why not with a DRK UI?

Is a full-fledged UI for Darkcoin available, and if yes who is the designer?

When I say full-fledged UI I mean something like this: (preferrably in PSD format)



I am also working on a sophisticated GIF creator app. Now that I created so many GIFs I need my own tools to accelerate the development cycle.  

Why not create a whole pallette of DRK apps and widgets with a consistent DRK UI.  

Hey everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that my project team and I have decided on the final design of the new Darkcoin wallet software and UI. The new Darkcoin wallet will look like this:


Light/White Skin


Dark/Blue Skin


You'll be able to choose your desired skin/theme and modify colors to your liking. We may support custom layouts in the future as well, but for now we must focus on functionality and completing the work in a timely fashion.  

You can view yesterday's status report on the wallet overhaul at DarkcoinTalk.org...

Regards,

The DRK Lord

I think we should just send it through Marketwire or a similar service. Will PM you on drktalk.

VERTOE!
IMPORTANT:

I may have found someone through my #buildthedarkness initiative who would be perfect for the wallet UI project. (C++ And QT) He may post here soon but I am in contact with him on Twitter.

Here's hoping!

I will keep you posted.

EDIT: He is going to post in the DCT thread!

Based on some discussions we had this morning I want to start active promotion of Darkcoin, I just created a thread over @darkcointalk.org. Below I am crossposting the OP, please go to Darkcointalk.org and offer some feedback.

For your viewing pleasure... and if this doesn't make you want to run out and buy DRK then there's no hope for you - you may as well crawl to your central bank with your balls on a silver platter whining "please master, would you like them boiled or fried?"

On open source, I want these people commenting on DRK:

Greg Maxwell
Andreas Antonopoulos
Amir Taaki
Peter Todd

This idea seems to be very popular. Now how do we distribute the DRK, sending them an email with a wallet.dat with the funds and a link to download the client? I would think it should be to key players not necessarily only journalists.

Coinbase offering a new connection API for any Bitcoin codebase coin to connect to it - doubt it, but you never know!

Instant Confirmation would rock with this - what better way for coinbase to go to the moon than a project that can demonstrate how crypto can compete with credit cards!

great news Tao
thnx for your twitter activity.

Darkcoin Promotion Campaign

Now that we are close to open source we should get ready to start actively promoting Darkcoin. I have discussed extensively with [USER=650]fernando[/USER] the interest I have in helping in this area, as I am sure many others will like to help too.  I know the Darkcoin Foundation is getting organized and we will soon have a formal channel to implement these ideas, but now seems as good a time as any to start brainstorming.

Idea 1:

My first idea is to create a target list of relevant companies and/or individuals in the crypto world to whom we would like to present Darkcoin/Darksend, the features and benefits of our solution and the philosophy behind our movement. This target list will be built through online research and using tools like Hoovers(I have access) and Linked in. Companies like GoCoin and Bitpay, will be included along with many mid sized crypto companies and all executives involved.
The idea consist in preparing a package of information that answers the following questions:

    What is Darkcoin?
    Who is behind Darkcoin?
    What are the competitive advantages of Darkcoin when compared to other crypto currencies?
    Darkcoin Features and Benefits?
    Maybe a Darkcoin/Darksend infographic and some illustrations.
    Instructions on how to test Darksend and see it in action.

Once, we have the content ready that we want to share with the world I will make sure we present it in a clean professional way using the Darkcoin stationery we worked on on the Branding thread.  I will also like to produce some hard copies of this material to be sent out to corporate offices of some of the crypto companies we find to be relevant to our cause.
In the electronic version of the information package we may include a wallet.dat and a link to download the wallet when the mail is directed to specific individuals advising them that they can claim 5DRK that we would Darksend to them so they can test the wallet and see the Darksend process in action. I am hoping with this initiative to create awareness and have some important people look into Darkcoin in more detail.

This project will have a few stages:

Stage 1) Planning. This is where we are now and feedback from active members is expected.

Stage 2) Building the target list. These are the people we want to attract as investors/supporters. We will initially send the information but we may later actually put in some phone calls and arrange some meetings. Send in active members that may be on their territories to pitch Darkcoin live or even fly for a meeting if its relevant enough.

Stage 3) Preparing the promotion material. This may include a Darkcoin corporate profile, presentations, videos, user guides, infographics and the like. This is going to be a continues effort and should happen    concurrently as we build our target list. Nevertheless, we need a first version of our information package to launch the campaign.

Stage4) Deploying the campaign. We may designate responsible members for specific territories and follow up and meet regularly to gauge progress. Our objectives are to:

    Create Darkcoin awareness.
    Get our coin added to new services (payment processors, exchanges, etc.).
    Attract new investors.
    Get validation of our solution/code  from relevant members of the crypto community.

As we are right now on the planning stage, please provide feedback and present your view so we can come up with the best strategy.
