I can tell you that we have nowhere near that many coins. And between the two of us we gave away close to 80,000 DRK in the first week or two. We are not hoarding coins, and there are people here that can stipulate that I sold ten of thousands at or below $0.02. I have sold and given away more coins than I now have, and yes I was mining on the first day right after it was made public, using Amazon EC2 servers.
We both gave away alot of coins to get people interested, and we didnt even PRE-MINE, we just wanted the coin to succeed.
If we were just looking for a quick buck and had 1.8 Million coins, or anywhere close to that, we would have sold at $1 and been very happy, but that is not why we made this coin.

Let me go yell at satoshi nakamoto who holds around 8% of all bitcoins.
I don't see why someone stating facts would make you reach the conclusion that they are greedy. I hope the dev can elaborate on the total coin cap. If it indeed can only reach a max of 10.5M then those coins mined in the first 24 hours have a much bigger piece of the pie and make the distribution unfair. I agree that early adopters should have an advantage, but 17% of all coins? How many of those are the Dev's? Sounds like a way to get around pre-mining to me. Of course I hope that is not the case because I did invest some in this coin as well and would like to see it succeed in its goal for complete anonymity. But because someone asks for transparency does not make one greedy.
The thing is that only 17% is ALOT. For perspective, 17% of bitcoin is well over one billion dollars at the current price. In other words, my concern is more whether the total cap really 10.5M instead of the 84M advertised? If its 84M, then those coins mined in the first 24 hours are much less significant. Fair distribution is important to the success of a coin, or else Drk will just be replaced by the next coin that is able to copy its features.
The final number or close to it should definitely be calculated and included as an official number. The final number doesn't matter as long as it's clearly indicated. The 84 million figure should most likely be removed and maybe the code cleaned up as well one last time before the darksend fork.

Donations to a crypto-hobo are welcomed and GREATLY appreciated. Darkcoin wallet addy is Xq5o7AGBau1bL59fDuJpgcU6XQ6Fr6iHRm. Thank you for your time, and love the coin. Can't wait to see it reach btc and ltc heights

"The world's first coin where you can't join any mining pool because they say they'll send you an email and never do."
Most accurate slogan.

That's extremely witty. How long did you come up with that one?

Hey Eduffield, how is the new website coming along? (also you guys should update the exchange list on darkcoin.io, we still only have 3!)
Here's the work in progress, any ideas would be greatly appreciated: http://darkcoin.us/io/
What should be on the homepage? We have 5 slots to fill.
Anyone have good ideas for stock photos for the various pages?
Starting to look good. If you're going with the gray overall theme, I'd suggest reconsidering this coin sigi made
.

edit: I'd also pay a bit to have the website made I imagine you've hired someone?
i think we have already been through the coin designs and pretty much have settled on the other one.

Looks really good and is better suited to be an icon at small sizes as well.

1 834 654 coins were mined in the first 24hrs (17.4% of all the coins that will be mined)
http://explorer.darkcoin.io/chain/DarkCoin?hi=4200&count=100
And only linux wallet on start, which limited number of miners.
Plus strange block reward bug https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin/commit/a5737981616b4f6392d4eb63f89760c3afc64e08

With so much talk about open/closed source, I've decided to make a poll on the issue. It probably won't solve the debate but I think it will be interesting.
Personally, I favour opening only after DRK has had a chance to become the standard for anonymous transactions. Maybe the developers could let a select few third parties see the code before it becomes open source and verify it?
Here's the poll. These seem to be the three most popular responses, from what I've read. Before you ask, it only allows one vote each!

It's really pretty simple, we're capped at 25DRK per 2.5 minutes, that's 210240*25 per year, so broken down yearly:
Year 1: 5,256,000
Year 2: 2,628,000
Year 3: 1,314,000
etc
So in ten years we'll have maybe 10 million coins in existence. It's a very scarce resource and is designed to gain/keep it's value.

I'm with you darkproton.
Don't understand what he's searching with his comments since a week...
If you are not happy buryat go mine another coin, and leave us with our faith in this DarkSideOfTheMoonCoin !!

Dude, I'm with proton. If you don't like the coin, don't mine it, and don' t buy it. It isn't a super-complicated plan. I like dark, and I"m going to mine it, maybe sell some, maybe buy some. I'm going to help out where I can, and I hope the whole thing goes really well. I know that like any work in progress, any new idea, there will be bumps in the road, detractors, etc. I'm not too stressed if the one or two day price rises or falls with the collapse of Mt Gox or anything else.
Chill out and enjoy the ride. In a few years hopefully we'll all laugh about "remember when there were public blockchains?!" This coin is a good idea, and we have a dev who is actively developing it. Who cares how many coins he has - he has clearly put most of the work into this coin.
I don't know about you, but I'm here because I want to be here. eduffield has already fixed one issue with the way mining rewards work, and if there looks like catastrophe on the horizon, I'm sure he can fix it again.
