What's going on with this coin - what are the next big dates for anything market moving. Price is pretty soggy, at best.

Thanks to the early donors! I won't confirm everyone's donation individually in the thread, but I am marking them down in a spreadsheet. I will do the accounting transparently and release periodic statements of income & expenditure.

I want to know why the price of DRK drop and drop with such many guys notice the coin.
And the network diff rised so fast,and we all pay attention to keeping  this thread being active.

Good question, I don't understand that either?  I'm not worried, but it does seem weird to me??


I think somebody is still out there controlling the pice !
not sure why, but they seems to keep it steady around 0.0014-15
..>>

But how could they possibly do that?

It's still traded thinly on a relative basis, it only takes one horse with a shit ton of hashrate to collapse things. 1btc of investment on Cryptsy right now would push it back into the 16000s range. I have 2.5btc invested at the moment, contemplating setting a 15000 floor with another 2btc.

With a marketing push coming up, maybe it's a good time.  I imagine you like to have some btc handy though.

Yeah, I'm a cheap date... after posting that I just transferred 2.5 btc into Cryptsy. Prepare for a bump in a few confirms, i'm taking this fucker to 15000


LOL, good luck!  I wish I had btc!  My tiny miner would only get me about 0.004 btc if we land a block, but it's been 12 days... no block, and I'd immediately turn it into dark if I could!

I pledge up to another 200 depending on defined and achieved milestones.


Sent 50 as well!  Will send more depending on how good the marketing ideas are.

Edit:  Spend it frivolously!!  Sponsor a bobsled team or whatever is necessary.

I'm very happy this is happening! I'll certainly send some coins to the wallet once the list of bounties is released.

Can I recommend a bounty? It would be great if one of them is to compile a mailing list of journalists/bloggers to send press releases to.

I made a start on a list here but I don't really have the time to make it totally beefy: http://pastebin.com/DMWjmqG2

And I'll be happy to update my press release/write more releases if that's required. (http://pastebin.com/HjrXLCfg)

EDIT: also, we need an example of someone buying something quite substantial anonymously with darkcoin, once Darksend is implemented, to hold up as an example for the press to write about

It works as long as the driver installation doesn't.

Just so I understand: you can get it to compile if the driver installation doesn't work? That doesn't make sense to me -- you're missing an opencl dependency, and the opencl installation shouldn't care whether you have the default display driver or the latest AMD one (correct me if I'm wrong there).

Since your configure is complaining about missing opencl, I assume that's what is failing to install? If so, what errors are you getting? Or is it installing ok, and configure still complaining?

It installs and ./configure says it still isn't there.

If I get the fglrx to build, the video goes black and the machine can't be used anymore. If I install the distro-provided fglrx, I can get the OpenCL to install, but then ./configure keeps saying it isn't there even when I'm looking right at it. I posted it a few pages back.

There's no way I could ever mine back the value I've lost in wasted time. 16 hours a day for 5 days and I've got nothing. It just plain doesn't work. All the AMD drivers do is trash the system, I'm NOT doing that again.

Buy the card or it's got a date with my Mossberg Persuader. I'd rather have the money, but It'll feel good to blow this worthless piece of shit away... I've already lost more than it could ever give back.

The Future Of Work

Again, I would implore you NOT to be distracted by these alt-clone marketing suggestions. This is the wrong place to put your attention. Develop the coin & conduct outreach to the media and NOT focusing on the crypto coin miners/traders.


How do we get the media to see us/talk to us/write about us?

Well, it's actually pretty simple, especially when it comes to online media (bloggers). Most will have contact information on their articles or blogs. You simply write a nice letter (that you can reuse) that explains the purpose of your outreach. It's not just "HEY LOOK AT OUR COIN", it needs to be done professionally and as I stated would make sense to have someone (one or two people most) working alongside the developer of DRK.

You just write a note saying the developer is available for an online interview, Q&A, whatever with some basics about the coin, etc. Remember, you're offering them content for their site (their occupation), so if it's a compelling ask, you'll get responses.

But it just shouldn't be people spamming emails blindly around without coordinating with the devs.



Well, I'm here for moral support!  But I'm not good at persuasion Sad  Hope some of you can do this, it's a great idea!

also, from your previous list, maybe we should make use of the darkcointalk.org forum and create a thread for each question so the points can be cleared up and be well written, such as:

Why anonymity is important in cryptocurrencies?  How does DRK solve the anonymity issue? how does DRK fit into the Crypto-World alongside BTC? etc... all from your previous post

I've been thinking...

Something just doesn't add up with the Armory using Darkcoin.  There is absolutely no way any legit darknet site would use Darksend while it is still closed source.

What am I missing?

That homeland security run the armoury?

Rofl.. Exactly what I was thinking.

Just imagine the logistics. Read the interview... The Silk Road model just can't work with guns. The Armory has to be a front. It's not even close to possible. I've been in the LEGAL weapons business for my whole life. If there were a way to skirt the law on it, I'd do it! I'm all about giving back what the government unjustly takes. But there's no way you can mail guns around and not be detected. Utterly ridiculous. The only people who would bother to try are complete idiots, and people who work for the state so they know it'll get there and they catch the buyer...

You think you're hiding a gun on an x-ray? Or the obvious pattern of a box of ammo? STEEL and LEAD show up on X-Rays more than anything you can find! There's not a damn thing you can do to block it or disguise it. There is absolutely no way! I would never even consider doing it because I know it can't work!

Guns that are smuggled are done knowingly with people on the inside being paid to look the other way. That's how it's done because it's the only way that has any hope of working. And that costs way more money that I have, and way more money than the prices on that site reflect. It doesn't add up.

If you watch the screenshot it seems that they have stores/partners in different countries so they can distribute their products.

I saw... It might look good to the uninitiated who have no experience in the business... If the desire overpowers limited knowledge... I can see them snatching up a lot of foolish people with that bait. If you want it to be true too much... Bleh, anyways. If it could be done, I admit I'd be doing it. I have all the experience and knowledge needed; and it tells me only a complete retard would even try. No fucking way. Not even close to possible with the model they present. Its just enough to help the clueless make a dumb choice...

It'll help law enforcement catch a bunch of low-hanging fruit that would otherwise not even be trying... It'll make fun headlines. They've already busted real darknet sites, now they'll reveal running one... Few people will trust the darknet after that.

Darwin's survival of the fittest, da weak fish bite and their gene pool is incarcerated  Grin  Cheesy

hey, I'm one of those who feels the right to bare arms is one of the most important rights a person can exercise, but I don't think it would take that much fire power to break the government if it should overstep.  We'd overwhelm them with numbers and break their will as casualties mount.  Lets hope it never comes to that!

On the another note, Eduffield are you still planning to attend the New York conference?   Didn't quite get a clear picture on what your intention was due to some changes.  

No, I was struggling to figure out how to do that with some family stuff that came up. Plus they downsized it to a couple hundred seats and it was really expensive to get there and the tickets are really expensive ($200) so I'm not sure how much impact it would have actually have had. I'd much rather speak at another conference, maybe one in Cali.

Since you won't be attending the convention you could do a video presentation explaining Darksend, put it on youtube and link/post it to other DarkCoin related sites.  Same content that you would have presented at the convention.  



Or maybe a live online Q&A

Excellent idea!  ideas!
