I've taken in suggestions about images, colours, etc.

What do we think of this? http://darkcoinsample.hostoi.com/

It would be nice to get a new website up before that wired articles comes out. People will be looking up DRK.

I think it looks great, even better than the last version you posted. I'm not sure I like the background picture with the crowd of asians (not that I have anything against asians LOL). Just seems kind of chaotic, makes me think of a crowded chaotic street, something more calming would be better imo. Maybe some skyscrapers at night all blurred out, some thing like that.

I also was thinking of a good tagline - came up with:

"Darkcoin...

Instantly send money anywhere in the world... anonymously.

Fast, Secure, Untraceable."

"Darkcoin... Leave no trace"

just thinking out loud Grin

Here are a couple pictures, to get an idea of what I was thinking. Mb if blurred and darkened a little they might work

I love everything about it, is a huge upgrade on the current website, I say we get this up asap and do minor tweaks where needed. I personally can't see anything wrong though and agree that we should have it up before this article comes out.

Excellent, but first thing that struck me was this:

"Transactions are pooled together in the blockchain" - they're pooled off chain I believe, that's what makes them anonymous?

They are pooled on chain by being pooled off chain first. Cheesy

All the addresses appear together in one transaction on the blockchain when using DarkSend.

Feel free to ignore me then! Embarrassed

RC2 Hard Fork on May 14!

https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rc2-hard-fork-on-may-14th.357/

Can we forward plan a hard fork for 12 months time for possibly changing the algo - not actually implementing a hard fork or changing the algo, but just the discussion about doing so?

That gives darkcoin enough time to be ASIC resistant, put ASIC manufacturers off developing something, put people off pre-orders, assure miners for a while and give plenty of notice to all those that would need notice like merchants, pools, etc.

If ASICs are desired at some point within the next 12 months. You can remove the threat.

The possible downside is that some would not bother developing apps and some merchants might wait.

Are there any ways to buy BTC with USD quickly?

Coinbase makes you wait 5 days. Any options to create an account today and be owning BTC immediately or tomorrow? Anyone care to send me several BTC and I send you paypal?

If you add a Credit Card to your CoinBase account then you can buy BTC instantly.

Although if you are going to create a new account now, you will have to wait a few days (took me 3 days) till they verify your Bank account.
After that, it is instant.

Still have a weekly limit of $1k of usd buys instantly.

and

"making them anonymous from the wallet." - not sure what this is supposed to mean...

"Transactions are pooled off-chain, making them anonymous and untraceable," or something instead?

edit: OK "from the wallet" means anonymity built in, no 3rd party stuff required.

Some other typos:

Download a wallet thingy appears twice in Getting started page

Find an Darkcoin exchange should be "a" not "an"

You can send Darkcoins to friends, relatives or trading partners "as way" should be "as a way" and maybe lose the plural on Darkcoins to keep things consistent

And there are a couple of places with a missing space after a punctuation mark, before the next sentence or the sentence continuing

I appreciate it's a work in progress, and it's fantastic work, all the above is meant constructively!

edit2: "When making payments with Bitcoin it's like leaving your checking account open in your browser" - eduffield

Yeah well so is having the wallet fire up and display all your transactions without needing an initial password. Startup password please, I am going to go on moaning about it, I promise... Wink

This probably doesn't help you, but if your intention is to buy DRK with BTC, it's a much quicker process to acquire (if you can) LTC or VTC or something, and buy DRK with that, as you can usually convert it instantly to BTC on an exchange to trade to DRK. BTC is painfully slow.

I'm sure you can find plenty people here willing to sell. Don't forget to source a good escrow.

If you're reeeeeallly desperate to buy, you might find some desperate to sell -> https://localbitcoins.com

Not that I know of. Don't use Virwox, you'll lose almost 20% of your money with them. Might as well take your chances with Coinbase. At least Bitcoin has been cheap, you might make money on Bitcoin now that DarkWallet has come out??

I wish I had more funds to spend, but I used up too much of my money buying (and buying always too high!) that I am in a bit of trouble. I just hope it goes up before I have to sell to pay for bills, LOL.

You could check out Moohla, see what they have going now. I haven't kept up, and am a little skittish lately of hooking more companies up to my bank account. Coinbase is servicing some pretty huge companies, so I'm assuming (bad thing to do) that they're pretty reputable?? But who knows?
