I know little about the market, and would love it if someone could explain to me how that works.  How is it that some entities are keeping the price down?  It's weird, and seems illogical?

I don't recall who is managing the drkcoin reddit page, but could you link the Darkcoin logo to /r/DRKCoin instead of the reddit home page?

You guys should NOT OPEN SOURCE DARKCOIN. There a multitude of copycats waiting for copy Darkcoin's Darksend feature. If you opensource, it will be the fall/fail of darkcoin.

No company in their right mind open sources their projects, Ebay is not open sourced, Paypal is not open sourced, Dwolla not open sourced, Spotify not open sourced. The list goes on and on and on, 99% of all company are not open souced. Open sourcing your project would be plain stupid, UNLESS it's as popular as Bitcoin, whch would take a while.

So in the meantime, DO NOT OPENSOURCE DARKCOIN.

Seems like there's nothing but good news about this coin yet the price keeps dropping. What the hell?

I think it should be open source as well, but there needs to be a better marketing job to build support before that happens. Otherwise money-grabbing clonecoins are just going to take it and proclaim they've created something new.

Devs please take a look at the official pool, it seems to be orphaning way too many blocks.

this open source discussion is getting ridiculous

of course it has to be open source.

there's this fear that it should remain closed so that no one can clone Darksend for another coin -- that we should wait til our community is already huge before we open the source code. here's the thing: no one is going to use Darksend in the first place if it remains closed source. many of my friends won't even try the beta because they don't not trust the binaries.

Super BIG congratulations to elberethz!!!

I'm sorry to say that 32 bit will have such horrible hash rate, that nobody will bother to make one.  You could, if you don't mind, run Linux on a jump drive in 64 bit, and then run minard:

Copy and paste into a terminal:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential m4 libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev git automake libcurl4-openssl-dev

sudo git clone https://github.com/elmad/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes

cd darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes

sudo chmod +x autogen.sh

sudo ./autogen.sh

sudo ./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native"

sudo make

Then do this command: sudo ./minerd -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://drk.lotterymining.com:4444 -u You.YourWorker -p Password

lotterymining.com is a great pool

You can put so much to rest by popping in and writing a few lines, I'm going to store the link to this post and quote it once a day,  

I ask people to sell [me  ] their coins and people buy more of them. wtf?

This is not reverse psychology 101. Jesus, some people.

Gee, it's been in beta about 4 days now?  this is too long, we must open now!  (jk)

Seriously, though, it's not ready.  It's safe enough to invite the public to try it, and that's where it currently is.  I'll guess less than a month to full functioning open source but only Evan and the good lord can know for certain

       +1

I would love for some more merchants and markets to show DarkCoin affinity already even though we are in Beta.

Some of the best projects the world has even seen have prospered even while in beta, some even closed source. It is inherently in our nature to send millions of bytes of sensitive information via closed source email solutions of centralized corporations (gmail was in beta for 5 years), but for whatever reason clonesters cannot wait for this project to go open source citing lack of trust. I'd rather have them come here and say we just want a DarkCoin meme clone and not insult the collective intelligence of this group.

@evan, while the threat of an existing coin adopting DarkSend may be neutered due to complexity, that doesn't mean new forks are not possible by mindless clonesters and that itself will hold this project back for quite some time. Look what Dogecoin did to Litecoin. People underplay it a bit, but Dogecoin absolutely was the #1 reason Litecoin valuation dropped when people saw they could do the same thing in a much more cheap and allegedly funny way.

I am not saying project should be closed source, but please do not yield into pressures from a select few about timelines etc. Let it mature a bit more. In the meantime let us establish some additional goals and targets for this project and set wheels in motion to achieve them, the very first one being what is already going on with respect to collecting funds. There should be pretty big ones down the road

1) Presentations/Conferences.
2) Get white hack hacker certifications.
3) Ongoing tech developments/enhancements.

To those pushing for open source, please take a step back and bring more to the table first via contributions to DarkCoin project. To further assert validity to your assertions, please post open source projects your have contributed to and co-relate that to how you think you will enhance DarkCoin project.

--DarkCoin bag holder of 580 DRKs ---

I don't know why, I never do anything illegal, but I am anal about privacy.  family members are tagging photos of me on facebook, and I cringe, I freak out!  I can't explain it, but yes, I want my checkbook closed to outside eyes.  

I'm already exposed, I've lost my privacy.  Anyone can find me if they wanted to.  My Sister and Mother use their real names on facebook, I can't imagine doing that, LOL, but I am being worn down. However, I truly think that it's not a good thing.

Why would i care about anonymous transactions?  I don't know, I just do!  It's not the one transaction, but the habits being recorded.  Believe me, if there is a way for marketing people to do it, they'll figure out where you shop, what you buy, what boggles my mind is that so many people don't care!

Todays Winner is: elberethz amount won: 35.298358 DRK

Most likely Btc and ltc will not improve privacy.

Idea: allow Btc to be kept in darkcoin wallet. Allow Btc to be "converted" to drk via broadcast to other darkcoin wallets, who can choose to buy and sell Btc/drk. Ie decentralised exchange. Dev can build fee into wallet to recoup costs if he wants.  Provide wallet to Btc users as an optional privacy tool.

If decentralised exchange too difficult then integrate wallet with an existing online exchange as a first step.

Great idea.  I'll reiterate that I love the short message idea HammerHedd came up with.

I'll add an idea, Would it be possible, with a click or two, to take part or all of your balance off line, on to a jump drive or paper wallet?  then a click or two to reload when you need it?  Could be called "Banking the balance?"

Darkcoin is looking better and better.

But I don't see any of that information on the blockchain.  Is there more information on the blockchain that isn't covered in the explorer?

Wow - I was like thinking of being only 50% in Darkcoins by the time beta ends........might have to up that  

Can the current sellers up their rate of selling please...thanks in advance.
