A troll's definition of premine/instamine: "Any coin mined before I heard of it."
R.O.T.F.W.L.
This is actually pretty right. A lot of altcoins were blamed including DRK, even BTC. Only because such people weren't there to mine it first.
This is what embarrasses me about half the Crypto community... DRK is still in
very early days, this difficulty and price is absolutely nothing compared to what it will be when functionality is finished and the coin starts gathering pace...
It's not too late... You haven't missed anything... Start buying/mining DarkCoin right now and you will still do
extremely well in the future...
So what if a bunch of people mined loads of DarkCoin when it was first incepted, good luck to them, they deserve to be rich... It's no different to initial shareholders in a company that went boom...
Just be glad you found out about DarkCoin now, rather than in 12 months time when it's all people are talking about... Then see how difficult it is to mine...
The main issue with the first days miners is the same as new rich people. Many lottery winners found a worse life than before in few years, just because they don't have idea how to handle the fortune. Exactly the same happen with so many sport players, singers and most "instant fame" people. They never got the opportunity to learn how to handle the new situation and fall in addictions, start doing wrong things and other typical problems that for sure many people here know.
Just read some pages following the DRK explosive grow, many of the early holders start doing the wrong things. They never understand that the small / large fortune that they acquire came from other small and large investors and not from their "genius investment techniques".
I don't have any problem with that, because I was fortunate to find Darkcoin at not so high value.
My concern now is to release a reminder: do not invest the money that you will need in the short term. All crypto-coins, including BTC, LTC and DRK, are high-risk investments (good for great profits or huge loses). In my particular case, I can't afford lose more, so I'm quit, at least for the moment.
Be careful with your decisions and don't put your family or your self in risk following people in a wild-west environment, with no insurance or any other entity to protect you (this is the real wild-west financial world with no restrictions, no regulations no lawyers. It's not facebook, or a radio/TV game show.
A smart community is one key for the success in the wild-west financial sector.
Hope will be useful for somebody.
