I know Warren Buffett isn't a friend of Alts - but he did give some good advice that is applicable here - he taught to buy the market leader in each niche. For anonymous crypto that is currently DARK. The others like Monero are far behind, and even if they have good ideas, either other competitors will beat them, or Dark will simply steal their ideas and implement them as well or better (I have a high opinion of the Dark dev). Either way it's foolish to invest in the distant also-rans rather than Dark, IMHO.
You are missing the point. Warren Buffett invested with 10+ years vista. When Warren Buffet bought shares of the Washington Post he lost money, 10 years later he made 380K off the original 10K investment.
What we know for sure is, ring signatures are basic for anonimity and Darkcoin is on a clear dead end there.
What matters at the end of the day is the coin's functionality. The only reason Darkcoin has to exist is the anonimity factor, and MRO's tech is based on anonimity only and scalable. Marketing means shit nothing at the end of the day in this business. DOGE just put a Nascar car with their branding on national television and the price is crashing again.
You clearly have an agenda, you want to attract people to your coin so you can make money, I understand. But this is not the way to do it, the only reason that coin was rushed is because Darkcoin created a new market opportunity. Darkcoin is an original coin, original X11, original difficulty adjustment DGW3, original anonymity Darksend. All delivered in a professional and transparent way with a real developer. Dark will continue to improve its solution and I am investing in the development team, in the future product, regardless of the current features, because I can recognize talent. Do you think we are all going to run invest in your coin just because you say so? Do you think real money will come here and won't inform themselves before making an investment decision? If you like your coin so much then put all your money into it and we will see in a few months who made the right decision.
On top of all that, Darkcoin has a strong community supporting the coin from before it was successful, there is a culture here, people wont sell just because the price went up. We want to see this project be successful and we are working towards that goal. You are a group of opportunist brought together by the opening DRK created, all pirates looking for booty, and I am certain you will be dumping at the first rally, so no thank you. Now go back to your thread and do something productive for your coin.
RC3 Progress ReportI've had some substantial progress on DarkSend and have figured out how to make our existing system as secure as ring signatures. Vastly improved security, no bloat (from the ring signatures) and without actually having to trust new cryptography (it hasn't been extensively tested like what DarkSend uses) . So I think it'll give us a HUGE advantage in the coming months. More to come soon, I'm going to start implementing this tomorrow.
