Yeah personally the issue I have with Darkcoin long term assuming the technical hurdles are overcome is the name, it would be easy for the big FIAT peddlers of the world to seriously demonize it because of the name alone, changing the name would fix this, we'll see if it's required later on, nobody can know for sure right now.
I'm personally comfortable on the tech side. I think the main problem was the voting system. I never understood why 6 votes were needed. I think you could strip it out and award the coin mixing reward randomly and it'd still work. My two cents of course.

no reason to sell now except if you believe the FUD and the community is not working on fixing the fork issues (see darkcointalk forum -> no trolls there too!)

yes It will certainly achieve an ideal price from our hearts.

Automatic checkpointing?! NICE.

From what I understand about BTCs checkpointing, it is manually added by core devs.  IMO, automatic is much better than relying on core devs to decide and add manually.

Why is this crashing... AGAIN Huh Sad

lol, crashing... It's barely moved down 10%.


0.0277 - 0.0097 - 65%

0.024 - 0.018 - 25%

Everytime it goes up it crashes violently back down. So manipulated and I'm an investor. Fundamentally a good coin but just a money maker for a select few.

there are very big investors, millionaires - moving in and out of the coin to cause panic to everyone

I think the more reasonable explanation is that the coin was overdue a revaluation and that revaluation is now complete, so people are locking in their profits which is just the sensible thing to do.

Nothing to do with "trying to cause panic".

It's 1300% up on a few weeks ago. Is that not enough for you ?

Actually no  Smiley  It's nowhere near enough.

Seriously, the coin is technically better than litecoin and if the market was information efficient, should've already replaced litecoin in terms of marketcap. Litecoin's key advantages over Btc were faster transaction times and decentralised mining.  

Drk does the same thing plus provides transaction privacy. IMHO (and I know this is controversial and some might hate me for saying this) I think the name is holding back the Drk. If it was called PrivacyCoin, I think the optics would have been much better. More of the media would've got behind it.

I agree that the name may put off some people/media, but it may have also attracted others, not necessarily because of reminiscences to dark markets. Anyway, probably too late to change it, so no point in discussing  Smiley

And it is great for memes and easy jokes! I would never invest in a coin without this feature  Wink

Convo I had today with someone:

Me: Why? (not buy dark)

Him: Oh potential legal issues

Me: ?!?

Him: And it's high risk. I mean wit a name like dark coin it's really asking for harsh regulation

If you were trying to lock in profits wouldn't you sell periodically at 2 -- rather than cost yourself money by dumping down to 1.85?

anyone here experience same problem ?  

No, but I think there may be something much more sinister behind all the "being hacked" stories.
I think they have been short selling against their customers and got squeezed.

Just a gut feeling, though.

Yes, I agree that being hacked IS something that an exchange cannot afford. They MUST take every single measure to be protected. Still, it's possible to happen for it's a business risk. Now the difference is: a good, serious exchange will never have this business risk affect it's clients lest loosing reputation. In the maket, no reputation means no deals.

I've never had a problem with them despite what everyone was saying, but I have just zeroed all my balances there. I had started their verification process because I wanted to trade DRK/USD if it is ever available. The response I've got is so lame that it almost feels like a joke:



BTW, they have lowered their withdrawal fee for DRK from 0.1 to a more reasonable 0.01.
