Hang on.

This is all going a bit gaga. We're potential headed into load of trouble here.

DRK was a currency, not a service. Its low coin supply was attractive and consistent with its role as a currency / store of value.

A currency should have NO utility value to be of any worth as a monetary medium. That's what makes crypto attractive. As soon as it starts to have utility value it goes out of circulation and becomes a utility which then exposes it to competition from other utilities.

So if we're now talking about a service, we're into a whole new ballgame. Different rules apply.

For a start, the limited coin supply is going to be a hindrance not a help. 1000 nodes is nothing in terms of a bandwidth infrastructure. You need 100's of thousands or millions because we're not just talking coin 'washing' we're talking high bandwith transport (I imagine).

Secondly, with it being a service, not a currency, there's nothing to stop other players from competing. Adoption isn't an objective anymore, revenue is. My own opinion is that a Darkcoin TOR network will never even get near the kind of income your talking about - there are so many players in this market who a way ahead in this technology. We're talking about a whole new industry sector. This is dreamland stuff.

Nobody gets to make that kind of money in a technology market and keep market share - it just doesn't happen, so lets get our feet back on the ground and establish exactly what this project is about.

This is a very big deal and must be thought through on all front before people start getting dollar signs in their eyes.

100% agreed. It was total market manipulation. We the believers knew it the whole time, and thats why we held onto everything. I even bought 3 BTC worth between 0.00295 and 0.0032 and I'm glad i did
Cant wait for RC5. The new plans sure sound interesting!

                                                       

Is DarkTor the definite name? The word Tor is becoming a little synonymous with drugs and child porn. VPN and others not so much.

Tor is slow and crumbling - we are talking about a premium service here

Alright, even at 10c the math is interesting. Don't be mad you sold out the majority of your coins.

Thats a centralised service....This is DarkTor you moron - a decentralised anonymous internet service. Evan said its 50 cents, which millions would pay for.
Cant believe you are still trolling here

***Ignore for good***

Will they pay $1 a day? I won't. https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/buy-vpn/

Oh coins is just having fun, LOL

BTW, is TOR actually free to use? 

Even so, DarkTOR would  have many advantages over TOR but it also makes it harder to figure out how many people would actually use it...

For my own sanity, please challenge my numbers:


Cheers

I Just bought DarkTor.org to protect it from squatters.
(.com&.net are taken and used already )

I think the name is perfect for "DarkTor" promo-site.

I can host it and let it to be used to promote new technology DarkTor to anybody competent and active in this area.
I can also transfer this domain to Evan if he likes to.


PS. I believe that DarkTor system will attract millions of new users to use it with DarkCoin - most of potential DarkTor's users even don't know about cryptocurrencies yet.

Okay let's face it, I hardly doubt that it is in any case possible for DRK to reach $200M in 4 days. That's $50M market growth per day, and the crash after hitting such price would be insane. It's better if the price was going up slowly that bouncing up and down like it just did.
Even while being very optimistic (and don't get me wrong I would want DRK hitting such a price) the chances are slim if not none.
Let's wait and see what happens to the market in the next 24 hours. It could be very interesting.

Where are all the trolls now? So peaceful without them....

DRK FTW! !!

Tao    

I just worked out that at near max DRK supply, you can get around 13,000 nodes with 75% of coins allocated (can't remember what max DRK is, I know we are on a reducing scale).

Anyway.

13,000 nodes, running 2m users, paying $1/day (who wouldn't pay that for anonymity). That gets you something like $60k/year per Master Node in Revenue.

We currently have around 4.5m coins, at 75% - I think that works out at 3,400 nodes. With the same revenue metrics, you would be looking at $215k per Master Node per year. Not sure on costs to run, but it can't be anywhere near that, lol.

With that kind of return, each Master Node could be worth $1m - $2m.

Multiply that back up by 3,400 Master Nodes, and you get DRK valued at $3bn - $10bn within the next 12 - 36 months.

Like I said.

Fuck me. What has Evan created.

hahaha awesome.

You had a typo.

Fixed it for you.
