Guys, is there an API for balance?

I was hoping for one last dip in the next 48hrs but I may just have to suck it up and pay one tenth of what it's worth.

still relatively low volume. Tomorrow things will pick-up. The weekend will go nuts.

Is there an API for darkcoin blockchain, so I could get a wallet balance from the address?

The sell walls around .00162-.001625 that were up earlier today on Cryptsy are nearly gone. There wasn't even a price decline, very steady today.

Though it is interesting if true, however, looking at the thread there are mixed results.

Most coins see a similar spike-->decline-->stabilise pattern when they first hit exchanges. Darkcoin was the same. Not much value in trash-talking the competition for pretty standard market behaviour.

Aren't Cryptonote the dev group behind bytecoin's codebase?

In any case, I think we can fully expect a raft of cryptonote-based alts with various improvements, some of which will shape up to be Darkcoin's main competitors. It's worth keeping close tabs on MRO and the rest. I suspect it won't be the bytecoin devs themselves who create the killer cryptonote coin, as they seem to lack any marketing sense whatsoever.

Did you read gmax's comments about coinjoin and how everything being done here is a "sales pitch".

I think what happened is that large and small players bought MRO either as a hedge or as a legitimate contender. However gmaxwell's comments about the problem of monero's team cloning bytecoin and then being unable to do the low-level stuff to improve its problems, made investors lose confidence.

The bytecoin landscape is pretty fucked up for investment. On the one hand you have the 80% premine Bytecoin and on the other hand you have 4 clones of Bytecoin, with Monero being positioned as "first clone". The options are one less appealing than the other.

One of my projected scenarios is that given the technical problems of Bytecoin/Monero etc, and the fact that Bytecoin was quickly trashed by Monero people for the 80% premine and the fact that Bytecoin devs will probably not "forgive" the Monero people for stealing their coin implementation, it might go down like this: Bytecoin devs will dump their BCNs and launch a new coin that is not backward-compatible / fork-upgradeable for Bytecoin and clones. It will probably improve a bit on the anonymity and other aspects like scalability and then be presented as the better solution, thus killing first gen bytecoin + clones.

If that happens, DRK must be ready to compete with an upgraded bytecoin that might have less bloat issues, more anon. features, better user friendliness etc.
