Please don't worry about this. Yes, other coins will emulate us. However, the license, though open source, will require them to keep the name "darksend". They won't be allowed to change that.
They also won't get any of it until it's finished. By then people will know darkcoin.
I'm not worried Stefana, thought it looked ridiculous to cling on so much to a dead coin.
Yes, well... to each his own I guess? I'm actually feeling sad for the last greater fool. Though I might be one of 'em. I actually think DarkCoin is something real. Something here to stay, not just an experiment, though it is indeed an experiment as well, just as Bitcoin is. I've been bending my mother's brain over all this. She has always enjoyed investment and such, so I thought I finally found a topic we could really talk about. She's still wrapping her head around it though, LoL. In her 80's, she is not dismissive, highly intelligent and I can't wait to hear her assessment! But it will take a while, it took me at least a month, LOL.
