I also think it would help.  I'm far from an expert, but at the very basic level it creates a lot of buying pressure, which in turn drives up the price.  Every time the multipool sells off the crap coins, it produces huge buy orders for DRK, and obviously the ones the get eaten / bought up first, are the cheapest one, it then works it's way up until it gets to more more pricey coins, bumping the price. Rinse and repeat.

Would look nice with a touch of gold.

How about a Darkcoin multipool unveiling and Darksend release at the same time. Would create some serious buzz.

Ohhhhhhhhh hell yesssssss!! Boom!!! LOVE IT!

Good point. I think it would help price. It would create steady demand on the buy side and that would increase price. Then there is more financial incentive to mine Darkcoin directly as well. I know many are already mining other coins to trade for darkcoin. And those who are supporting drk by mining directly for a seeming loss now are counting on an increase later.

The biggest factor in my mind is the psychological effect of knowing that there is steady buying support each day. People are petrified of pump and dump scams but if they know structurally there will always be buyers then they feel more comfortable in buying that coin. In essence just feeling like there is not a gaping hole to fall into when the dumping begins. This is BC's main advantage, the feeling of bagholder resistance. And as far as I can tell that's somewhat of a concern for some people here. It's a legitimate concern because there are so few barriers to entry in cryptocurrencies. So we should do what we can to protect share value and consequently community and confidence, which would be the effect of a Darkcoin multipool. I wish I knew how to do one. But I will contribute to the bounty!

tl;dr It takes the btc from overvalued scam coins and puts them into darkcoin. Which will induce confidence and increase value.

nice one!

Will switch them back to VTC later maybe just to test, bet it's over 2kW.

 

DarkCoin, WhiteCoin, BlackCoin... when the orange and the purple ones?

Odd, official darkcoin pool and my backup (mining pool hub) both down for me right now.  

nvm, both back up. 

Have p2pool failover now too.

Net worth obv, I'm a gambler baby.

Sure, you'll also be responsible for filling my bed with fresh hookers on a daily basis.

Regarding this multipool: will it actually help? I can see it working for a PoS or fully-mined coin but any diversion of hashrate from DRK means (1) more total DRK will be mined each day due to the block reward formula (2) a higher percentage will go to immediate dumpers because presumably the people on the multipool would be ones who like keeping their DRK. These two factors lead to increased selling (by some who directly mine DRK) that would offset the increased buying (by the multipool). The equilibrium wouldn't have changed.

2% of DRK, instead of 1%?

If you get a Rolls Royce, can I be your driver and use the car for personal use on Saturday's?

Um, I hope you're referring to crypto net worth alone. If that's the case, I'm at 90% and I'm not sweating it. Not much else interesting out there except other anonymous coins, and this is currently the least problematic one.

I have 50% of net worth in DRK, I'm wondering whether I should put in more.

That's not an official workflow.

It was my first stab at what was needed to reach a valuation of $1bn by the end of this year.

Would it be possible to get a timeframe on some of the projects that are being worked on currently so the community can be more up to date and involved?

I think you're on to something!

I'm thinking more automated process for large merchants that do huge volume of transactions.

The process of checking needs to be automated, with as much effort put on the customer as possible. The use of credit cards is accepted because to get one you need to have gone through various hurdles. All the merchants need to worry about is checking the cards are not stolen and they contain sufficient funds.

Something like:

* user enters personal data at the merchants store front
* personal data goes through third party verification process that handles KYC (KYC gets updated by the customer every x period)
* user engages with merchant and provides data for shipping
* user pays
* merchant can automatically cross check someone has done KYC during the payment acceptance process
* Merchant can link transaction to KYC for reporting, if required.
* customer and merchant transact. Goods are dispatched.

The issue about anonymity for this type of opt-in facility is about public display of transactions on a block chain, not about total anonymity, i.e. compared to a normal credit card transaction, the only thing missing is an imprint of the transaction in the block chain that can be daisy-chained to other transactions. A similar relationship would exist with the merchant knowing who the customer is by reference to credit card data. Unlike credit cards, KYC type verification can be like a one time use password

There must be a way to facilitate third party data attachment for verification with Darkcoin being an enabling tool so it doesn't have to get involved with the verification process which means it remains decentralised.

Yeaaaahhh +10000000000000
