Once the governments get involved things will change very quickly. Right now people are having all kinds of pie in the sky ideas about Darkcoin because there is a lot of euphoria around the price rising and all that, but I think the governments will move quickly and make any kind of blockchain obfuscation illegal. It is only a matter of time. Either that or anyone running a masternode or participating in any anon crypto will be branded an enemy of the state. I really hope I am wrong, but I have a nagging feeling that is the way things are going to turn out.
I think Darkcoin is great for anonymity stuff, but wider acceptance by public and businesses will never happen unfortunately.
We already have a wine shop accepting it. With proper marketing and brand positioning, mass adoption ala Bitcoin is not an insurmountable obstacle.
So what if they do? Once I2P is in it''s not like they can do anything to enforce a ban. I'm not even sure they can do much to enforce it right now.
Just the same,
move your goddamn masternodes off Amazon people.And US or EU hosts in general, for that matter.
I managed to convince a VPS service provider to start to accept Darkcoins They are running out of Iceland and have servers also in Sweden and Romania.
Also really big on anonymity. This is a quote from theyr front page:
"FlokiNET offers safe, anonymous and stable services. We will protect your project and privacy. Our main goals are freedom of speech and the right to privacy and anonymity. We offer solutions for any kind of secure communication, data transport and anonymous publishing."
They are also running several TOR nodes
Go cancel your amazon masternode VPS and sign up with FlokiNET and pay with your Darkcoins
http://www.flokinet.is/They also accept BTC, LTC, AUR if you dont want to part with your DRK
There is not yet a Darkcoin logo on theyr frontpage but hopfully you will see it there soon.
If you want to sign up and pay with DRK just send them a email telling them that you want to do so
[email protected] and Einar Jóhannsson will take care of you.
If you mention my name in the Email you might get some better deal
Yeah I dont like Amazon ether, thats why I called up a few dozen VPS providers trying to get them to come over to the dark side
