Who gives a fuck about a private internet,98% of the people using the internet dont care,Darkcoin does not need this crap,we need adoption.
When adoption is happening and merchants are accepting it and consumers are using Darkcoin and price is going up and stays stable-isch the developers can start this darknet thing,Darkcoin is a crypto currency and it needs the to stay that way,trying to copy a Tor network is not whats it about in the crypto currency world,trying to beat Tor is not what merchants care about.
I do find the ideas very intresting but they are just 2 seperate things(Crypto currency and anonymus internet) and i believe it it not good to mix these it will hurt Darkcoin the Darkcoin brand.
But....
What if Master Nodes make money from other services. Other people will want to set-up master nodes so they can get in on the action.
The requirement to set-up a master node is the purchase of 1,000 DRK. That causes demand for the currency, and price stability.
It also increases the number of nodes available to mix. That increases the decentralization and reduces the risks of rogues.
I don't understand how added services are not reinforcement of adoption.
What I do agree with is the separation of the branding.
lets say darkcoin gets to $35 or more,starting a node will cost a lot of money,before you get your investment back will take a long time and only after that time you make some money,in the crypto world there are much better ways to make money with such an investment.Now it's a great time to start a node but not when darkcoin costs $35.why will pay $35000 to make some small cash out of it,it's better to daytrade Bitcoin or something else with that kind of money.
But....
What if each node made a percentage from, say, adWords type search requests being allowed on the network - what if each node could make $35,001/pa?
