come again?   

No, it does not.

dost the coin has pos plan?

What is going on with the official pool (www.drkpool.com)? My DRKs disappeared after more than one month without any activity (login).

Seriously though, this is a fantastic solution, I'm relatively certain the logic is sound, and the level of anonymity will be very high. I'll sleep well tonight for sure

Unfortunately I don't keep track of block reward averages, but maybe I can add it to the settings to use average difficulty and write a piece of custom code for Drk to re-calculate block reward based on that. Can't promise anything yet though, will have to look into it.

Is it possible to track the avg diff of the last 24hr + the avg block reward and then autopropose these two values? Because with dynamic diff + block rewards, calculations can be way off with a static value.

It won't work. They made the error of listing Darkcoin as an scrypt coin, which is not.

IMO Darkcoin will need a large number of privately-held ASICs to secure it. We, miners, tend to lose focus of the important thing which is network security, caring only about how our GPU should still mine the X or Y coin.

Darkcoin is not a meme coin, an animal coin, a country shitcoin or whatever the hell coin that nobody cares to attack it. It has a target painted on its back because it threatens the establishment's ability to conduct surveillance on money flows. As such we can bet that the NSA has already X11 ASICs ordered to be ahead of the game. It would be highly unlikely that with their multi-billion $$$ budget they would not have taken such a step.

The question is this: Do we want only NSA to have X11 asics and be able to 51% attack it at any time (or get the bulk of the issued new coins to use them for Darksend nodes), or is it more desirable to have a level playing field?

You can't have a bitcoin-killer that isn't secure or that has a potential security threat due to mismatched level of mining equipment between the adopters and some agency that has orders to destroy the currency, or cast shadows of doubt in its usability.

Ok, I like to mine DRK too with my GPUs but I'd take an ASIC-secured network anyday over me having my GPU to get my 1 DRK vs knowing the NSA has ASICs ready to make my GPU-mined DRKs worthless, along with the entire network.

99% of the coins out there pose no threat to the establishment and as such can toy around with cpus and gpus, knowing that nobody will attack them. Darkcoin doesn't have that kind of luxury. It will need all the hashpower it can get.
