The 4 Hour Bitcoin / US Dollar MACD has just crossed to the upside after 8 days in the doldrums.

With me not being one of those warped-logic types who thinks that BTC success isn't absolutely 100% helpful to the fortunes of DRK, I thought I'd just take a moment to celebrate this fact since we've waited a while for it to go green again.

Then there's this guy who got an 1170 BTC shot stolen - one of the biggest BTC heists in recent times it must be. They say that crypto is the "Wild West" - well it almost literally is now that there's a potential 500 BTC bounty for finding the thief.  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/i-was-hacked-1170btc-stolen-500btc-max-bounty-686275

I'm wondering if the nudge to the upside in the 4 hour chart wasn't Espirito Santo inspired.

That's the "platform' on which DRK is supported. Then there's developments in DRK itself:

 - we've gone a long way to winning the argument in recent days regarding the coupled / de-coupled strategy (I'd go so far to say it has been comprehensively won)

 - we've gone a long way to winning the argument on masternodes, demonstrating that there's no shortage of demand to fund and run them, that they have powerful technical uses way beyond servicing the anonymity layer, that their services cannot be reproduced by a wallet-based network and that currently represent the optimal balance of trustlessness and decentralisation

 - we've gone a long way to winning the argument on market viability. We've seen off nonsense about regulatory obstacles and demonstrated how the abscence of counterparties in all crypto places DRK in a category no different to any other crypto in this respect

 - we've articulated the market distinction between "anonymity" and "privacy", demonstrating that the "privacy" market is the critical one, being the single biggest area in which a transparent blockchain based crypto is not competitive with fiat

 - we've seen the "hiccups" of RC2 and RC3 actually deliver reforms way beyond what could have been envisaged without that bit of adverse experience. An expansion of the dev-team, revised and more robust algorithms plus a revolutionary failure-tolerant version release strategy

All in all, I can't see how any crypto could be more "on course" by the standards of its original objectives. Long may it continue.

For all the people who read this post
Have a nice ... Full of MNs payments...DRK.....WEEKEND !!! YEAH
Btw. Yes I'm still employed....

I'm still not satisfied with the number of MNs. Anything under 1000 is low. 

Evan Duffield, you are my hero. I'm so glad I went all-in in DRK in February and kept faith in you and your project, even in times of despair, which, let's be honest, we've had a lot of. Grabbing popcorn to see how the end of this promising month plays out.

LOL, This forum really brings in the characters, eh?

^^ This guy is officially nuts 


Also, look at his main helpers... Mr. ymer...

+1000

Evan's statement yesterday about the DarkSend  progress with RC4 and how adoption will be much faster due to levering existing BitCoin API's is huge!  He is on the right track and playing this 100% correct!  

Value followed Bitcoin after it proved to be a payment system.  DarkCoin offering Anonymity propelled its value but it seems in addition to what Evan outlined wallet apps for BOTH Android/IOS are needed so the eventual mainstream adoption of Customer/Merchant adoption can happen.   Just think about how many Mom/Pop small business around the world do a cash business.  Keeping big brother out of there cash business is something BitCoin can not do but DarkCoin perhaps can.

It would be great if we could "elect" a portion of our MN Payout's  go towards R/D, P.R, ecosystem support and a Foundation etc so we can better secure this and get necessary resources.

Just my 2 cents.

Yep, something magic about the number 300!

Yeah! New coins101s sig but the price still the same

No point in auditing something that changes so often. At this point its still a matter of, do you trust the dev team or not?

After all the anonymity enchantments are released as part of RC4. No real reason to review code that is still being aggressively developed.

RC4 is due at the end of this month.

My guess is 25 Masternodes.

Any news about the audit?

 
how many you got?

there was an interesting answer a few hundred pages back.
