Maybe I don't understand it but this multipool idea seems great for short-term speculation but won't do anything for long term growth. That can only come from legitimate demand borne from real world use. I see DRK actually being USED TO BUY THINGS which is more than I can say for 99% of the other coins. I also certainly hope the devs can deliver soon!

There is a lot of crap being posted about BC here and I want to clarify. Its not being pumped on specualtion its being pumped because the multipool dumps crapcoins and buys blackcoin. Blackcoin is not minable and thus they are proving that POS > POW. Its just that simple. Its not specualtion its fact. POS cant be forked with 51% attack or selfish miner since the stakeholders are the ones who confirm tx. So its just better. Bitcoin will die once the computers can 51% attack it and that is a very real problem. Darkcoin is amazing. It really is. I have been in it for a very long time. I was one of the earliest buyers. But Darkcoins time has not come yet. Also, its only going to be popular with a niche crowd. I love Darksend but you have to realize it will be replaced once someone starts a zero knowledge proof coin. So yeah... I believe in both. But its time for the multipool in BC to shine. And fast confirmation time IS better. I am writing software for Bitcoin that will do contracts and the annoying part is, I can not do decentralized exchanges in a speedy maner in Bitcoin. On Blackcoin I can. Even DRK is faster. So really Bitcoin will get bottlenecked and Blackcoin is playing this market like it should. A battle ground.

Thats just my opinion. Im not here for FUD. I am a holder of DRK too. I love DRK. I want it to succeed. My message to the DEVs is get your rear in gear and get Darksend out of beta before its too late.

That's in the works (a note field that gets encrypted as part of the transactio), also there shouldn't be any problem for a retailer to accept the coin, it's instant and there can be no chargebacks.  The rest is up to them to have a good interface that the purchaser can fill out with all the pertinent information.  And buyer beware.  There should be no reason in the world a merchant wouldn't accept crypto, other than the volatility of the prices.

Why would a merchant need any of that information?  If they're going to sent the item, then that's one thing, but why would they need to know anything else about me?  

Looks like blackcoin is following the chart.

Its going down to affordable levels for those that missed out last time 

Now that would be cool!  I'd still have a favorite pool!  LOL


I hardly consider them an enemy let alone a threat.  They're boasting way too much.  By the end of May, I'll bet the developers will be long gone.  If you have any of that coin, you might want to sell it while it's being pumped....

Is there a way to include an encrypted name and address field with a DarkSend transaction?

It may sound like a stupid question, but retail merchants are backing off from bitcoin because it is anonymous (I know it's not).  

So you can walk into a gun shop in the USA and pay cash for the biggest gun they sell. You could have just got that cash from selling crack at the local school gate.

Cash is not seen as a problem, provided you have some ID.

Try and buy M&Ms on Amazon with Bitcoin and there is no chance in hell. That is seen is an evil money laundering no-no.

Maybe what retailers might prefer is a Darkcoin payment that includes the name and address, which matches the name and address on their account. How about a name and address that cross-checks to voter registration or a driving licence.

Where is the risk to them at this point? The whole world can't see the transaction, but the merchant has an audit trail they can show the cops. Job done. Next merchant please sign here.................

As with DarkSend having an opt-out function, adding name and address fields can be an opt-in service - for those that were wondering which bit of anonymous I didn't get.

Let's patent that and give the royalties to the darkcoin holders.

The market isn't really kind to preserving inflated values, for a long time, with no fundamentals. See animalcoins, countrycoins (must have had at least 10 of them above DRK in the last month or so - before they crashed), pump & dump coins etc. If a coin can offer something good then by all means it may deserve to be valued appropriately. If not, it will fall after some kind of pump event, adjusting to its actual market value.

No problem at all, no coins needed.  If anything, direct them to the Darkcoin bounties that LimLims has put together:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5780031

It's hard to watch all these other coins rise above DRK but in a couple of months, when Darksend is active and people hear about the anonymous network, the DRK rise will be extreme and April will feel like a distant memory!

BC, meet post #14362.

It's not ready yet. Stop looking at it as a penny stock. Instead look at it as a way to send money anonymously across the world.

We need more news and marketable updates to keep this coin relevant.  It would be nice to try and get Dark in the spotlight.

That's pretty cool. Good job Ape!

Keep your friends close, keep your enemies even closer https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6221304
Pay attention to this part

So far it is syncing in Tails

Be sure to add:

gen=0
socks=5
proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
maxconnections=8

Website is down temporarily. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Im building it now, and will start up Tails again when its done. You can download the main wallet at: http://darkcoin.io/downloads/Darkcoin_squeeze_32bit.tar.gz  Im working on the Beta (Darksend) Wallet now. Try it and let me know.

DarkCoin looks like someone who laying comfortable in the sofa on the mid floor terrace in some skyscraper with a glass in one hand and cigar in other, watching how other coins riding see trough glass elevator on another skyscraper in front of him     We know those who laugh last laughs best !

Well PoS clearly work.. and BC offers nothing compared to DRK. And if DRK doesn't take this approach seriously it might lack behind further and when it's in the gutter people will still just highlight the "premine" - cpu to GPU switch. 84 to 22m halvation. And then it won't be worth defending for some nickles. It will be hard to adopt it and just clone it. Well people might not be so creative in writing it but they sure are good at reading it and it thinking that it will take a "long" time to adopt it to shitclones is at best naiv. These are valid points and must be thought over even how hard it feels. More communication from DEVs to community would be nice too.

I offer 70 DRK for for Multipool DRK payout - bounty

I prefer PoS over PoW, but damn, BC is just a shitcoin. There is good old Peercoin that was first in PoS with few clones, NXT that is not a bitcoin clone but a platform for building payment systems, decentralized internet etc, and few interesting PoS projects in development. So, when people who is now panic buying BC will realize that they are "investing" into useless clone - like DOGE without dog face))) and some big holders will decide to chashout, the fall will be huge...
