hi there,
i stumbled over drk about half an hour ago,
and thinking about giving it a try.
found this thread, but 600+ pages is to much.
can someone give me a short update?
i came as far as:
-op is/was thinking about a name-change
-some kind of premine(?) happend during the first 24 h
is that all, or did i miss something important?
OMG, what a day to discover us! I'm ready to pull out the last of the few strands of hair that I have, lol.
I'd read this to get up to date on the early mining issues:
https://www.darkcointalk.org/threads/the-birth-of-darkcoin.162/And regarding the name, some people feel that using the word "dark" gives bad connotations. Others feel it just reflects that you can keep others "in the dark" regarding your private account information, that it reflects privacy. We've gone over this a thousand times and there are a few points brought up.
1. Changing the name now kills all the past brand recognition, and we'd have to get people to know us by a new name. It would be confusing and we could loose potential market, setting us way back (3 months of people finding out about us, and knowing us by "Darkcoin")
2. If we don't change the name, we'll always be thought of as a coin for nefarious purposes.
3. We've also spent community coin to pay for designing a new logo, etc.. plus people have bought websites and created content based on the Darkcoin name.
Frankly, my brain hurts right now, LOL, I'm sure there were other issues, but those are what I remember at the moment....
