2 weeks ago price was 89 cents

now  53 cents.

thats some %40 drop in value.

and you know what.

total value of coins decreased from 88 million to 22 million.

thats 1/4 th.

mining profitability is bad. almost on par with hirocoin (which is dying quickly with diff down to 49 from 189 last week)

darkcoin hash rate down to 12m from 19m last week. (30% drop)

these are hardcore facts with numbers.

At these levels, bitcoin is vulnerable to darkcoin and zerocash.

When the media gets going about the lack of privacy within bitcoin compared to virtual cash of darkcoin, that will have an impact on people.

Maybe we should change the name to DarkBitCoin and say it is Bitcoin 2.0 

Can I suggest that if people want to offer criticism, please step up and offer your time & work to the cause. Darkcoin is entirely volunteer based, so we do the best we can with the resources we have available. I would LOVE it if the solution were as simple as "stop changing things, everything's fine". A vote for no more changes to the logo is just that -- your vote. Please don't try to subvert the democratic process -- campaigning loudly for your opinion doesn't give you more votes. We're nearly there with the logo, and I don't expect anyone wants a long period of deliberation on variants now that we have the base design chosen.

From here, there's still a lot of work to be done. Logo --> branding guide --> press releases, graphics, website, etc. The process of hashing out high quality, professional branding via group consensus is always going to be painful & tedious, and this is something I fully accepted before jumping in.

Branding is important even if it seems trivial sometimes. So let's take the time to get it right. The community is coming out with some great work, like the baby blue variation. To me these contributions represent progress. A vote will likely be called to decide on the logo & colour palette, and then we can consider these things finalised and move forward.

I fully understand & sympathise that branding efforts are taking quite a lot of time. It's a pain in my ass too, let me assure you. But I believe in taking the time to do things right the first time. Please get behind the effort and support it, because it represents our face to the world.

To address the concern about volume of posts on logo stuff in this thread, may I make a suggestion:

We move all logo/branding discussion to darkcointalk.org, as a self-enforced policy.

Yay/nay?

The future is yet unclear, but there will eventually be at least one successfull anonymous coin, and along with that freedom for humanity will come as well! My bet - Darkcoin.

One consistent pattern I have noticed is that frequent posters on this thread do not spam other subforums, forums, blogs etc to pimp Darkcoin. It is done in a good subtle way when warranted which speaks volumes about the community. I don't see Darkcoin folks attacking other coins and or their community either. On the other hand DRK is consistently attacked, hated, smeared, berated mostly by followers of competing coins and or generic altcoin followers. I even see some complain that Darkcoin is just marketing campaign. Kinda sad state of affairs when they attack innovation and real developers with real names, all the while hiding behind keyboards AND if anything, Darkcoin lacks viral marketing.

There could be more than one successful anonymous coin. Why do they need to stomp over each other? I will never understand the vitriol.

+1. I'm not worried about instant riches with this coin.  A base is being built and the coin grows organically.  I am convinced one day this coin could be trading at 1btc

+1

Darkcoin has exactly the same price in BTC/DRK as 4 weeks ago, and higher than 2 months ago, without any major fluctuations.

That's despite all the trolling, FUD threads and and a number of users having hate campaign against it.

So basically is one of the most stable and safest alts out there. This tells a lot.
Also there are no bag holders to dump, and just <5 BTC daily is required to keep current price - that's if every single coin is sold - and it isn't.

2 weeks ago BTC was also much higher. Let's all abandon BTC, guys. The 'hardcore facts' say so.
