Some believe that the most popular Darkmarket coin will be 'second only to Bitcoin', assuming Bitcoin stays where it is.

Does anyone have any ideas about how this might play out regarding BTCD, Monero, Darkcoin etc

Perhaps the first really successful decentralized marketplace will choose a coin and that will be it. A decentralized Silk Road that is so unbreakable and long lasting that it gets a lot of mainstream media attention. I think that could be it.

Look at it from the user's perspective.

There are a million easy ways to go FIAT->BTC->Marketplace

The average user probably doesn't care to add an extra step to the process with FIAT->BTC->PrivacyAltcoin->Marketplace

I think BitcoinDark will be good for use in any type commerce, like Bitcoin is. It will be too powerful of a system to be restricted to just the darknet.

BTCD has the best anon tech to date, and combined with SuperNET I wouldn't be suprised if we would see a price of 0,05 sometime next year or the year after.

Hi FUDder, please leave

Who are you referring to?
Fern definitely asked a legitimate question.

@Fern:
That could be a realistic scenario.
But another possibility is that people looking for a anonymous marketplace to trade on will look for the marketplace with the best privacy coin, which might decide the race. Or it won't be decided through decentralized marketplaces at all. Who knows.

I'm not FUDing around here Badass, I'm a NXT, SuperNet and BTCD supporter from way back. And thanks McDoxy1 for your view.

I was hoping James would chime in on now he might see it all panning out over the next few years.

With the year coming to an end and the big tech release inching closer and closer, we'll have a better idea before too long

. As long as all James' tech comes to fruition, I don't see how BTCD couldn't be ranked at the top of the privacy/anon coins.

I have a question about after the start of the supernet

* Dividends in BTC for BTCD Holders
This is, what if there is more than one address in one of the purse?

Dividend is linked to purse
Or
Dividend is linked to the address?

The latest shift for the BitcoinDark multipool paid out over 32 BTCD.

We need to have some more mining support over here at this pool It has been pretty good until the past few weeks. The lower prices are a perfect reason to point more hash at the pool. These low prices won't last for much longer as BTCD and SuperNET are nearing their v1 release.

Cheers!

Have you guys seen this BTCD promo video yet? Shocked

http://vimeo.com/108150786

Sure have. A little hard for me to see the lettering on the InstantDEX portion of it because my hella old laptop's screen is so dim.

I agree, it's definitely not perfect.

But the overall quality is pretty nice. I wonder what program was used to make this.

Imagine a whole instructional video made in this style.

Tell me how much BTCD can be mined per day with 500Gh/s? Planning to buy in a miner then.

BTCD is not 'mineable' since it's PoS only now. You can still 'mine' using a multi-pool but this is not the best way to get BTCD at the moment. Your better off buying all now with BTC directly, instead of mining altcoins, trading, and buying little by little over time.

What's NW stake?

The network stake weight, or the total number of coins that are staking at any point in time. If you are staking, hover over the green arrow in your wallet and it will display three things....

1) Your weight
2) NW stake weight
3) Expected time to earn reward

Right now we have 46k Network weight. Last time we had about >100k. Does this mean now half the ammount of coins is staking? What compounds to "network weight" and "your weight"?

Makes no sense to me that Network weight varies that much. BTCD is a explicit HODL-coin and I think majority of coinholders is staking.

Look at coin control in your wallet to get more insight into staking...
Or buy a High Stake coin that pays 200% or whatever to experiment and learn.

Large fluctuations in Network Weight...
Are generally caused by whales with large blocks staking (hi) and then recharging (lo).

Sorry for interrupt, but is BTCD still staking to give 5% interest per year?
I do understand fluctuation on NW, but I have never paid close to 5% annual rate(I am very well aware of how compound rate works and I have been staking for few months).
So I am just wondering if staking doesn't work as expected or skewed.

what rate are you getting?
are you on a Mac?
also, if you have small amount, variations can be large

one way to smooth out payout is to split into different addresses. theoretically it should be the same, but in practice is seems to boost the results

James

Thanks for the response.
I am using it on Windows and have some good amount.
I haven't really calculated the interest rate meticulously, but I used to get 50~80% of the expected interest and haven't really gotten more than expected daily interest.
I am aware that variance can happen, but I am just asking since I haven't really been on the above-average side(again, I don't calculate daily interest meticulously and I could be wrong).
The other thing is that not every BTCD holder is staking and thus, the actual interest rate should be higher than 5%(correct me if I am wrong since this is my assumption based on poor knowledge about staking).
I don't really care about interest as I am not investing for dividend, but I post a question since this topic showed up.
Thanks

about what percentage of staked blocks are rejected?
80% of expected is pretty good

my BTCD are staking exactly as they should.
If lets say you have 1000 BTCD, you will normally expect 50 BTCD interest per year. 50/365 that's around 0.137 BTCD per day
