You are not factoring in the distribution that has already taken place and is continuing to take place.

Some people complain of dumping by early instaminers, others complain about 50% held by "instaminers" - like that percentage has remained static since day 1. But both accusations can't be true at the same time.

An additional source of irrationality is the price complain: If instaminers dump cheaply => then others can benefit by the coin distribution on the cheap. After all prices are lower than DRK mining costs (opportunity cost vs other coins).  Yet the same argument is again used to say that the future price is doomed. How can all these be simultaneously true at the same time?

As I see it:

If instaminers are dumping, their percentage goes down and the overall distribution is improved.
If instaminers are holding, coin distribution remains as it is right now and price goes up due to very low inflation compared to other coins

If instaminers are suppressing the price below its fundamentals then its bad for the short-term price, good for long term price and good for fair distribution.
If instaminers are not suppressing the price then the price has great prospect for meteoric rise as demand escalates but also a questionmark for price suppression in the future if the bagholders sell.

We can't have "the coin is unfair", "instaminers have 50%", "instaminers are suppressing the price", "the price will always be low due to instaminers selling", "the coin will always be unfair because instaminers will (always) hold 10% of the coin" simultaneously. As you say, econ 101.

...and it'd still be top-10 cryptsy even with 40 BTC

seems the anons are growing

Yeah, I fixed that. Thanks,

Looks fantastic, I just submitted it for release. Hopefully it'll go out soon. It costed $125, which I will reimburse myself from the bounty fund. Thanks for writing this up!

Yeah actually chopping off the bit about "next release candidate" is good. Not a bad idea to leave the voluntary wording in there though imo. If we're getting rid of the part about next RC then there's no need for the parentheses around (will).

Maybe :

DarkSend uses special nodes named 'Masternodes', whose owners (will) receive incentive payments for their contribution to the network.

?

This sentence, "Masternodes host the Darksend network and the voluntary nodes will begin to receive incentive payments starting from the next release candidate.", could use a little rewording. I'd suggest something more along the lines of:

-The DarkSend network is hosted by Masternodes, and these voluntary nodes will begin to receive incentive payments starting from the next release candidate.

I'm sure it can be tweaked further. Also there is some inconsistency with DarkCoin vs Darkcoin, these little things are important for professionalism. Also, DarkSend or Darksend? I believe it should be DarkSend but I suppose that's up to Evan.

Thanks for your work!

I think it is Kyle Hagan. not 100% though.

Evan, not sure if my message went through so posting it here. Here's an edit of the media release with some more information about price and supply. Hope it's okay...

Go make a ton of money, then come back and spend it all on DRK.

I'll take care of the DRK network. 

I'm new around here, so thank you.

Pressure brought by DogeCoin miners to adopt x11 has resulted in some research on x11 by the Doge Devs

While I agree, I think there is a sense of realism that the big early adopters might just be buying things that carry jail terms and a DarkSend type feature might be of interest in that regard.

I gave up on the point of mainstream adoption and a family friendly approach about 300 pages back. I got to the point where a pragmatic middle ground in my mind was to wait until the market cap gets to $20m - $50m, then go suggest mom n' pop re-branding and re-positioning.

Damn, might have to whore out my rigs there too...  

edit: screw that, you basically have to give them control of your rig and do all your admin / rig control through them. Ugh.

Not necessarily. Most of the clients - even those who have very unique/rare/special requirements - need to be found the the service, not the other way around.

I think DarkSend should be promoted as a professional feature. Not a star wars kind of "dark side".
You want to get involved in a professional crypto business? -> You need the ability to make anonymous transfers, both for the company's own and for your client's safety/benefit.

OMG!

What if Quebec coin implements DarkSend? You totally can't miss mining over there for the next 48 hours.

It's a once in a life-time, never to be repeated, unmissable, kick-yourself if you don't do it moment.

Like I said, I'll take care of Darkcoin network for a few days.

When I was 3, my wish was to one day be a janitor; this is my chance.
