I fucking love you.

You said truculent. I've never met anyone, besides Merriam Webster, who knew that word and could use it properly in a sentence.

But you're wrong about one thing. He won't be asking himself why he's still a truculent little peasant. He'll be blaming everyone but himself for it... Voting for more welfare because it's not fair... He'd do better to pull his head out of his ass and take our painful advice, but his pride, arrogance, and blind zealotry for the neo-soviet agenda will stop him... He'll just keep fucking himself and trying to steal from those who listen to good advice...

Hey Jacques, I'll try speaking a language you can understand. When I hang out in a titty bar, I don't give the girls any money, yet they still always hang around with me and give me their numbers even when I don't ask for them. Does that make me a badass? Is it because I don't give them money and that pushes them, like douchey pickup artists will tell you? No. It's because I'm right and I know it and that's fucking manly. A woman feels more like a woman when she is in the company of a man who is more of a man. They'll throw away their own livelihood for it. They'll quit heroin. They'll do anything for it in a society so horribly devoid of real men.

I do not mock you as an insult, but as motivation. You're a man, you SHOULD be able to handle that and figure it out. But you're not, so I'm throwing you a bone. What a nice guy I am! The charity just never ends with me, no matter how much you prove you don't deserve it! I want you to step up for your own good. I'm boosting you and you're rejecting it because you believe you are already perfect in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. The manliest thing you could do is admit you're wrong and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

You're both right because you're both wrong.

It is the intrinsic qualities of crypto in general, and BTC's First Mover advantage that give BTC it's position and acceptance.

It does suck for transparency. But it is the only show in town and the value inherent to crypto trump it's failings, so it remains the only show in town.

Being the only show in town is a false statement. But it appears true to the unwashed masses because they don't understand altcoins, and so many are shitcoins that the few that dabble usually don't step into the hot tub.

Until some creme rises to the top, the 'good enough' and widely entrenched will still rule. So, the fact that stupid people exist makes BTC effectively the only show in town. It is such a good thing and gets most of the job right, and until the ripples of it's shortcomings are more exposed and understood by the stupid masses, it will stay top dog.

Look at it this way. BTC is a 9 out of 10. Fiat is a 2. DRK is a 10. BTC gave the world such a huge improvement that most people still can't even wrap their head around BTC. How can you expect them to figure out the improvements made to BTC by DRK in such rapid succession? They haven't even figured out 1/10th of BTCs benefits yet. The majority are still choosing denial and name-calling because they don't want to admit that they can't figure it out. I still see the amazingly fucking dumb argument of "but it's not backed by anything" and "it hasn't got a central issuing authority" bandied about... Spectacularly fuckin' stupid! Until the majority figures out that these are good things, not bad things, there's no chance for them to move on to even better things.

these are people for whom using a smartphone is a joke... They can't use it. They have no fucking clue what to do with it. They just want to look cool; the iPhone market. This is why GuvCoin/CoerCoin will never exist; you can't force people to comply with a technology they are hopelessly unable to understand. It would be like passing a law forcing everyone to be physicists. The politicians themselves would all end up in prison becasue they would prove their own stupidity and violation of that law by passing that law in the first place...

It's the same as the Huxley vs Orwell argument. They're both wrong because they're both right... It isn't one idea or the other. It's both at the same time... The Huxlian begets the Orwellian, and vice versa.

Please stick around. 

I take it you have limited experience running a business in a competitive market sector? Of course businesses value their privacy.

What you don't seem to realise is just how important shaving 1-2% off your overheads is to most businesses. DRK transaction fees are an order of magnitude lower that CC companies.

LOL at "luck" - none is required. Your betters (read: people with money and a fucking clue) have decided how this will go and no amount of pablum from nobodies like you will change it one iota.

Your future is also easy to predict: you'll be back here in 3 months asking yourself why you're still a truculent little peasant.

** Sheesh, picked a rotten day to peruse the forum. The idiot army is out in full force.

What you don't seem to realize is that retailers are not looking for anonymity.  

Darkcoin still has transaction fee's.

I think you underestimate the bitcoin infrastructure and money behind it that is already in place.  It's only going to grow as more and more businesses adopt bitcoin as a payment method.  Anyone that thinks Darkcoin will ever surpass bitcoin is just plain wrong.  I think what's happened here is all you guys get together and pump each other up.  You all seem really concerned about anonymity and that's just fine.  But the majority of people could care less.  Bitcoin is becoming a household name.    

thanks man  i do appreciated allot ,

I'm Happy, Bought at .0155750.

My order exactly.

Lets see what happens Fingers Crossed.

I think you're almost perfectly wrong here. BTC has seen truly pitiful retailer/b2b adoption because it's an open book. DRK lets businesses transact almost freely (who likes paying credit card processors, or, gods forbid, paypal?) and maintain their privacy at the same time. I think places to spend DRK will be appearing at a far faster rate than with BTC.

I know you from the Polo TrollBox!

If anyone even mentioned DRK in chat you were all over them calling DRK a scamcoin and trying to convince them why XC was so much better...

Bought XC on the pump perhaps?

I've explained it a bit in this post:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg7564169;topicseen#msg7564169

Any questions let me know.

I'm sorry, you miss my point.  Even pools are decentralized when there are many of them.  It doesn't matter how many, as long as nobody has more than a certain percentage of the hashing power.  Even so, Evan has said his plans include a way to make it so that even a masternode will be blind to where the funds came from, therefore they will not be able to decipher the mix no matter how much of the network they own.

So the only real argument is, what if a government shuts everyone down.  First you would have to believe that a government can do that in the first place, or would.  Actually, you'd have to have all governments shut all public VPC's to have an actual effect. Even then, if one has internet access and a computer, one can run a masternode. 

So I honestly don't see a problem

At this moment in time, the coin is only worth what investors see in it.  IE:  how many coins can we mine?  How many can we earn via MNs?  And finally, how fast is the coin rising and how much can I make off it on it's ascent.  How can I make money off it's fluctuations. 

But in the future, the real merit of this coin will be it's life as ecash.  It's usefulness.  All these structural issues won't even be talked about anymore.  99% of the public won't care.  The (possibly) 10% of the public that will find use for Darkcoin, will only care how well it works and how future proof it is.  The future value of the coin will come from demand due to need not want.

Fckn Lol...

it shouldn't have any problem handling that. It has a lot more room to handle more miners.

Fair enough.

You have a lot of good points. Currently BTC is the thing if it's it all not all a hoola-hoop. There's a lot to do, however with my somewhat knowledged opinion. I'm all in .

As an XC scam boy, why don't you just spend your time there? Everything you write indicates you contribute zero and you focus only on you: I have this, I did that, I back xyz.  You don't do anything but spread FUD.

Here, copy paste this for XC to help your little scam along https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6335710  just top/tail and change a few names around.

El Presidente already destroyed XC with some simple facts and following the money which he shouldn't have been able to do; nor should he have discovered coins being stolen along their little XC journeys if there was no scam going on. So now all that is left is for XC scam boys to lay the blame on others for the epic fail and XC scam.

Censorship and closed source?

LOL

I don't invest in btc.  I mine and trade altcoins for profit which is paid in btc.  I then exchange btc for fiat.  btc is just an intermediary between altcoins and fiat. I do have a substantial amount of btc that I'm holding because I have a feeling that the next btc rally is going to be a big one.  I have a 60 20 20 plan.  60% btc, 20% cryptonote, 20% other altcoins including DRK.  I've done extremely well with that diversification.

And bitcoin doesn't claim to be decentralized like Darkcoin does.  Or at least many Darkcoin supporters claim.  I don't really care one way or another.  Centralized or decentralized doesn't really matter to me as long as I can make a profit and use that to purchase things in life that I find enjoyable then I'm happy.

Currently the only coin that can actually be used for purchases of any significance in the real world is bitcoin and it will likely remain that way for some time.  Even if they get all the bugs worked out for the masternode network, where are you going to spend DRK?  Legitimate retailers are already moving towards bitcoin as is venture capital and wall street.  It's all fine and dandy to root for your team, in this case coin.  But people need to realize that there is not a venue to use this coin at.  The anonymity will prevent a majority of vendors from all sectors from using it.  And cryptonote coins have more apeal for the btc rich old timers that rarely venture outside of their bitcoin world.  I see Darkcoin as a neat experiment without any practical application once it's finished other than providing masternode operators some income at the expense of the lowly miner.

A man after my own heart...

The fact that the trolls refer to DRK as "Cult of Evan" and "Circle-Jerk" only displays their cluelessness... The successful are always found talking amongst themselves because they have no one else worth their time to talk to. All people involved in successful endeavors find them selves called these names by the losers. Shitcoiners never learn no matter how much pain I inflict on them... People who cannot be taught by pain cannot be taught at all. They are genuinely broken people who refuse to stop being broken because the get off on insults instead of personal satisfaction in a job well done. Sad... No matter how much I try to help them create their very own hot tubs, they'd still prefer to throw rocks at mine... Throwing away their own potential success in an attempt to rob me of mine. Neo-Soviet, Liberal, Democrat, Progressive, Stupid, Loser, Asshole, Troll, Theif, Degenerate, Idiot, Anti-Theist... It's all the same thing, just different labels...
