Just want to say, thanks so much to the guy who posted the block reward algorithm. I've been on and off my PC all day trying to figure out how the fuck Moores law worked and just thought I was an idiot lol.
But yeah, really loving this coin. IMO, it's the only "alt"coin (quotations explained soon) that could potentially prove a real competitor (I don't like this word but it fits the bill) for Bitcoin. In fact, if the developers stand by it I reckon it even has the potential to become worth 3-digit values in fiat, and maybe even overtake Bitcoin in the long-term.
The way I see it: Bitcoin, the one that started it all. If anyone remembers, a large amount of it's early growth happened because of... You know, them folks on the darkside of the moon taking advantage of its anonymity (or so they thought).
Dogecoin: An awesome little coin that grew and gained popularity due to the meme factor. Has the potential to a bright future for mainly non-serious things like forum tipping, and paying someone online to do something such as make you a siggy. Holds it's spot as the fun little "disposable income" yarr I'll chuck you some Doge lad kinda coin. Most people who use this seem to be proper crypto-enthusiasts, mining it and getting involved in the forum banter surrounding it. But the thing is, when loads of them are mined up and the joke starts getting a little old, what next? Probably move to the next fun-coin.
DarkCoin: From what I can see the only altcoin that isn't a copypasta job. It's own algorithm, and it's anonymous. And that fact ALONE appeals to a very large number of people who have lots of money to pump in. Seriously, if the darkside decide to adopt this coin instead of BTC... Fucking BOOM! Doge you can have your moon, we're going to the sun. Even if that doesn't happen it's doing pretty damn well for its self. Not to mention how efficient it is on our GPU's (since DRK got me in to mining I've done a hell of a lot of experimenting with other crypto's too).
DRK is the first altcoin I haven't initially shook my head at. It's the first crypto I've had an actual interest in other than BTC, and it's the coin that's got me interested in mining. I've even invested in a dedi-mining rig, can't wait till the bits arrive. Obviously, this is a gamble because if it doesn't take off and/or the devs/early adopters dump the shit out of it I'm fucked. But I love a gamble.
I don't do much posting on crypto related sites(that's probably gonna change), but I'm pretty much a daily lurker I've been around here since BTC was worth about £4.
Great coin and great potential! Just found out about this coin yesterday, can anyone help me out to start? Thanks.

Anyway I didn't expect that to be so long, just wanted to say a big thanks to the devs of this coin for bringing something special and actually innovative to the coin wurld.
Ended up going off on one.
