Yes! Wait until Friday. My B-day is Friday... RC4 for my B-day. Is there any such thing as a better B-day present? RC4, bewbs, and stacks of ammo... I don't think it will be possible to feel bad that day.

Take the next two days to find the collateral fee bug and release it un-neutered. Jyst for me. :-p

Right, but even those private holders are not always going to be there (if they want out completely from the start), and while some private sellers will sell and replenish their holdings (and will buy back in over time) they will eventually want a premium market price from the AP's for trading such size.
So perhaps at first the AP's will have an easier time of finding these 10k blocks of private BTC sellers early on versus over time...so maybe we don't see quite as much effect on BTC price at first.
Personally though, I think we'll pretty quickly see the investing professionals, and eventually public, go nuts over diversifying into BTC and will drive the price up to $10k within the first year.
So IMO, these AP's will be clamoring and fighting over getting BTC from any and all sources eventually.

I love smart people who don't dick around.

Probably not going to happen that way. Will likely be a private transfer. They wouldn't just buy 10k on the market, couldn't do that without moving price too much.

Not sure where I read it but I believe part of the requirements for getting their ETF through the SEC was removing the conflict of interest with them holding so many coins and managing the fund. I believe they had to liquidate most, if not all.

Isn't the "Winkdex" forned so the Wall Street AP's have to  buy the underlying Bitcoin at like 10,000 Bitcoin per basket? I'm pretty sure we'll see some serious action in Bitcoin when these AP's have to buy up these mass 10k baskets of Bitcoin... Assuming they go to the open markets to do so. Of course if the Wink's instead see this as a way to dump bitcoins I suppose they might just sell their own stash to these AP's however the SEC would never allow that though. Hmmmm

It's a spork so it doesn't really matter that much.  The only thing is that pools running RC4 will only pay out to MNs running RC4, so if the MN operators don't update they'll eventually stop getting paid.

10:26AM in AZ

Also better to release during a less negative market environment. Maybe a few days longer doing bug fixes is good all around

No they do not. Funky ass arizona mountain time or something like that.

Is he from AZ? Don't think they have DST.

There should be a minimum of a week notice to ensure all parties are notified of the mandatory update. People need time to prepare to upgrade. (pools, exchanges, MN operators)

Pretty sure he is MDT which is -6 now ...  but even if it is not out today is that really an issue?  Rather him wait a couple more days and fix the known bugs -- then release too early and then need to revert or something.

Evan is on MST (GMT-7 at the moment)

Don't think he was referring to Drk

There is no pump and dump scheme here, stop jumping on puppet accounts and spreading nonsense it won't help you nor damage DRK.
It's Wednesday here in a few hours, what timezone is Evan in?

I would add:

1) Our development team is full time in the project they are less likely to get frustrated and abandon the coin, as Darkcoin is what they do full time. As opposed to anonymous developers who can just abandon projects with very little consequence or may get absorb in their day to day jobs.

2) Development is transparent we do public betas, and you can follow the progress openly on darkcointalk.org. Other projects do closed betas or post videos, what is the point in that?

3) Darkcoin has actual real world application, anonymous cryptocurrency is very desirable beyond commerce and retail, as a store of value and for people that have money outside of government control, I am thinking Argentina defaulting, regimes around the world, tax havens, etc. These people don’t need to sell their coins for fiat immediately like retail businesses do.

4)We are doing independent code reviews with industry recognized professionals (Kristov Atlas), and more will come as the project progresses.

5) A crypto scene where only Bitcoin exist, would not be better there would be no progress no experimenting, nothing new, it is also unrealistic.  New technology creates a market, think of the smart phones and the iPhone, would it be better if there was no Android, categorically no. Competition and innovation is necessary for the whole crypto scene to thrive.

+5 ,lol

the review and open source, the first and only anon coin on the market sounds very appealing espescially as bitcoin knowledge is improved over time. People will learn that their funds are fully transparent and visbile on the web with a ip address under it.
