First draft of Darkcoin bounties
These are subject to change. Please suggest more and give me your feedback.
A quick explanation of how this will work: The "base bounty amount" is not the final bounty, it's a relative figure to make calculations easier. The base figure is adjusted depending on the actual donations we've received in the fundraiser. The "adjusted bounty amount" is what will actually be paid out.
TL/DR: Donate more, and all the bounties will go up!
*** PLEASE NOTE: Translation bounties will apply only to the new website, which is not yet launched! Expect it to be launched within a couple weeks. ***

PM me your submissions with some kind of proof that it's your work. Some of these bounties are first-in-gets-paid, and some will go into a pool where the best will be judged to receive the bounty (these are marked as such below).

To be honest, I'm a little ticked that this started out as "Bounty pool for marketing and branding" and now it's just "Darkcoin bounties" including bug reports etc. I'm fine with that for now, if that's what the funds are most needed for at this point.
But at some point, we need a REAL marketing pool, and it shouldn't be just spent on these incremental increases in value. It should be spent on something AWESOME. Marketing is an art, you don't just pay out a couple hundred bucks to make a slightly better website or translate to an additional language. At least, that's not ultimately the best use of funds when you're ready for mass adoption. Right now, this thread has ~171,000 page views. That's great for now. A liberal estimate means maybe 200,000 people have heard of Darkcoin. All it takes is one good marketing play... one single thing that stands out, and you get over 10 million people that have now heard about your coin. Doge has no technical use whatsoever and is far less interesting than DRK, but a brilliant marketing idea like donating $30k to the jamaiican bobsled team generates over 10 million views. We need to find our own crazy marketing idea. I'm not sure what exactly that is, but something that fits DRK and will get 10 million views based just on one single marketing effort. This doesn't have to cost much, but it will take a decent chunk of any marketing pool and be worth way more than the sum of all of these incremental updates. It could be something like a billboard. You can rent out a billboard for a month that displays digital ads in a high traffic area along the freeway for under $1000/month. This probably isn't the best fit for DRK, but someone has to get creative and figure out what that is.
I'd be willing to donate 5 to 10x my previous contribution to a marketing pool with a real marketing idea like this.

Why not use both? Plenty of organizations have multiple versions of logos. When you need a little "icon-like" logo, use the vectorized flat logo. When you need it to be big and attention-drawing, use the 3D metallic logo. Honestly the current logo looks nice when it's huge, but considerably less so when it's scaled down like in the top corner here: http://darkcoin.us/io/
Also,
+1 for Latin phrase on the back!
-1 for putting Duffield's name. I mean no disrespect at all, but DarkCoin should be portrayed as standing for an abstract idea (privacy), rather than as a project. It has more gravitas that way.

Bounty for explaining darksend in laymen's terms:
The introduction of digital cash enables payments to be made over the internet without the need to have a credit card or an online account of any sort with a merchant before you buy things. People can also pay you directly, and you can buy the things you want all without having to open any sort of special bank account.
Just as you would use cash in a supermarket, you can now use digital cash online or via your phone with any merchant that accepts digital cash. And just like cash there is no one keeping a record of every penny you spend. That is how Darkcoin digital cash is used to pay for things and to receive cash from others which you can save or buy things with.
Getting started with Darkcoin is very easy and completely free. You do not have to ask permission or register any personal details. You just use the Darkcoin wallet on your phone, your tablet or your computer in the same way you would use an ordinary wallet or purse. The only difference is that the Darkcoin wallet is digital.
If you want to keep track of your online transactions for any reason, you can let the Darkcoin wallet leave an online record or everything you buy. But if you would rather keep your transactions private, just like using cash, all you have to do is use the DarkSend feature within your wallet.
Darkcoin is completely free and has no way to obtain your personal or location details for marketing things to you. Darkcoin will only ever receive a very small transaction payment from the merchants that use the digital cash service.
If you use it, keep the bounty for something else.

As the market gets more crowded, marketing efforts are getting more sophisticated. Check out this video marketing EBT coin:

DRK needs to aim for the same sleek look (not necessarily involving live acting - I just mean professional grade quality).

Would the darkcoin dev please contact me in PM if he is interested in translating the website in chinese? My girlfriend could do that for bounty.
Send a PM to the person that posted the bounty they are the ones in charge of getting the work done.

I am planning on ordering Physical Darkcoins very soon, but I need a design for the back of the coin.
I was thinking where on the front it has the binary it should say: The only privacy-centric cryptographic currency.
With something else in the middle.
Please post some ideas up SOON, who ever's design gets picked will get a free physical coin!!!!

Physical Darkcoins = with private keys on them or simply collectibles or bullion coins printed on .999 silver/gold?
Maybe:
1. around the top edge: Aliquam et libertas [which google tells me is latin for Liberty and Privacy]
2. around the bottom edge: spondeo solutionem [which google tells me is latin for I promise to make payment]
3. in the middle even duffield + year of manufacture

One item you should amend to the list is a travel fund, if the dev is into it, to get him to go to (and speak at) conferences. Get noticed and many of those other pieces (like media attention and legit parties willing to audit/test the code) fall into place.
This is a very very good point. Look at all the hype ZeroCoin has got -- basically all they have ever done is give talks (which is the problem with the coin
). I think a very significant portion of this money should be spent going to crypto and bitcoin conferences and presenting the technicals of DarkCoin. One talk will lead to many blog posts and I'm sure even mainstream press. If Evan wants to do that it is ideal; if not we really need to find someone who can.Along those lines, we really need a detailed whitepaper as well.

Totally Agree, best would be that most HashPower comes from P2Pool !
Pools are a weak centralised system.
We don't need any 51% attacks, DataBase hack, Hot Wallet hijacking or whatever....
Throwing away 3% of the donations for that is fucking bad !
You should send it to the P2Pool creator and Chaeplin (the one who forks it for DRK).
About BAMT integration, I've modified a SMOS miner install scrypt and posted it in the sph-miner thread :
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5487088
You just have to past it in a file, rename it "whatever.sh" and execute, that's it !

Hi, I just DM'd you about this, but I can do the Chinese translation bounty. If you send me the content you need translated, I'll get it back to you by the time the site is up.
