Darkcoin has become my favourite coin literally over night, with arrival of gpu miner. What I like is power consumption, which is almost 50% less than on scrypt, lower temps, and extremely low rpm :-) , and of course community. I can't say I don't like the name and the logo, but on the other hand word "dark" is always considered as something evil . That is probably most important thing that will keep people off this coin no matter how good or bad the darkcoin is.
Who cares about perception or hype. This coin has a specific purpose and it will do that purpose well and that is making transactions completely anonymous.

Once the testing is complete and successful (which it will be) for the new feature tomorrow this coin is going up in value big time. CANT WAIT

I'm not mining this coin anymore. Diff to HIGH. Reward too low 
. Less miner good for the rest
. Less miner good for the rest And this is why I don't understand the dumpers. 24 blocks per hour @ 24 DRK each = 576 per hour = 13,824 per day. At 0.002 it only requires 27.64 BTC to buy up an entire day's mining supply. Either difficulty has to drop or price has to rise. It will be interesting to see which.

What's up with drk.smalltimeminer.com?
Goddamn pool has a lot of my DRK.

Never ever leave your coin in a pool, have them send it to you at the lowest increment.
Having said that, I suspect RL got the owner and he doesn't realize it's down.

I'm seeing a lot of " stratum connection to (null) interrupted" and "stratum connection failed" errors over the last 24 hrs. I thought it was issues with smalltimeminer whom I was using. However, since switching to cpu-pool.net, I'm still seeing them maybe just a little less frequently. It's happening both cpu and gpu mining. Internet connection otherwise seems ok. Any suggestions or theories?

I just sent 30 payments from 4 clients through DarkSend in a row without a single error and it went swimmingly 
It's starting to look pretty solid! Anyone around today that wants to help me do some closed testing possibly before the big test tomorrow night?
* We need Ubuntu x64 and Windows users

Where is the testing thread? I have Ubuntu 64, want to help???

Here is an interesting article about why Amazon will eventually accept Bitcoin and a para from another article about the price impact of such a boost in demand. If DRK becomes popular among people concerned about privacy, thanks to its fundamentally new anonymous coin mixing, major retailers would have to accept it to. Reason enough to be bullish about DarkCoin, I think.
http://www.thestreet.com/story/12317595/1/why-amazon-will-eventually-take-bitcoin-or-something-like-it.html
An anonymous viral e-mail circulating among bitcoin watchers and partisans lays out a few simple hypothetical usage and adoption scenarios, and their consequences for bitcoin's price. If Amazon.com (AMZN) adopted bitcoin for all payments, its volume of $38 billion, divided by a supply of (at the time of the email's writing) about 7 million bitcoin, would make each bitcoin worth $5,400. If $300 billion in international remittance was conducted in bitcoin, that volume alone would push the price to $42,000. Adding these, along with online poker and gas station transactions, would lead to a total transaction volume of $602 billion -- and a bitcoin, even at today's expanded supply of 12 million coins, worth $50,000.

That's Bigal's pool. I sent him a message earlier and haven't heard anything back, plus ALL of his ~15 pools are down. I'm not sure what's going on

Just noticed the sell book is very light up until .0024 over at Polo, wondering it we'll see a quick run up again soon.

Hey guys... And Dev team.
I want to help out in terms of popularity an SEO - Social Network Links, Backlinking and all that I have experience in this field.
I also have a huge email list in the IM niche and starting new campaigns on Bitcoins and most importantly DARKCoins.
That being said, www.drkcoin.com is part of this project. It is not complete nor is it a competition.
It is a portal to the main website. I also touched up the logo a bit.
I am not here for copyright or any trademark abuse. I am a fan of this coin, I hold many and I want it to succeed.
I am open to ideas and suggestions but before I put real work into this I want to know if its okay with the dev team.
Cheers,
Ty.

IMO the #1 thing that darkcoin requires is a good and objective wikipedia entry, thus people can google darkcoin and find all about it right there. Right now google throws much irrelevant crap when one writes darkcoin (this can be different depending your area, browser history etc) and that can be rectified by a wiki entry that will be the #1 result (after the page is created and indexed).
As I said earlier the best way to promote something is to let others discover it instead of promoting it to them (which creates the reverse psychological effect of "they are trying to scam me") but in our time this means they have to google it. And googling darkcoin is problematic without a wiki entry.
Do they? Hmmm... That's a problem then. I do see however that they have listed various coins that are near the top of coinmarketcap like ripple, lite, peer, name, doge, prime and master.
edit: They also mention zero: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zerocoin and ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coinye

The payouts are normally much reduced for everyone involved which means that people will appreciate more what 1 DRK actually means since it is mined with difficulty.
Difficulty in producing the coin = you value it more = you hesitate to dump it for cheap = prices soar.
CPUs are still in the game, although GPUs now represent a large percentage of the net's hashrate.
Yep, I was just checking first if the lottery pool was working correctly, since it does have quite a bit of invalids. And if GPUs make CPU mining (or cloudmining) not worth doing anymore. I didn't start cloudmining that long ago, but difficulty has about tripled from when I started (maybe 1-2 weeks ago). I have about three days left on my Azure, so suppose I'll leave it pointed at the lottery pool and hope they find something eventually. I just noticed that the past day or two that the pool hasn't found much, and that the hash rates on the main pool went up a ton (due to GPU mining).
I plan to just hold onto my coins and see how they do. Again, it's found money for me, and actually quite nice, as up until now I was just playing with freebie giveaways and such. Maybe in a year, my 110 or so coins may be worth a decent amount.
problem is, those using gpu miner on lotterymining are setting their intensity way to high, so sgminer is sending out a ton of invalid shares to the pool
