Recently I taken a liking in Crypto investment, and so far returns appears to warrant me to keep going.
to disclose. I have the following:
50% LTC <- doing well in china.
20% Doge <- also doing well in china.
20% WDC <- incredible speed and development.
10% others <- Test stuff.
around 300k USD in total, not a lot.
Recently, I am looking to add some funds in, at first, I thought of Vertcoin, but after a bit of discussion, I realize Vertcoin offers nothing different then Doge, in fact, it is a slower version of it only. Asic protection is a nice perk, but I am convinced that it is not going to be effective. As such, I moved on to my next research, Darkcoin.
Now, this one seems interesting, I do think it has enough difference to have its own niche of survival.
can anyone here tell me more about it?
how does Darkcoin does it?
and will their innovation be vulnerable to any newer tools to unveil them?
Let me know. and thanks.
One of many things that brought me in was that I'm finding myself wondering what eduffield (main developer) will come up with next. Not because I'm looking for more, but because it seems like every week the guy comes and does something fantastic.
From what I can tell, there is a team of developers but the main announcements come from his account . . very well controlled approach.
Next on the list . . the question comes up as to why people mine the coin in the first place . . even though there's still a slim but definite margin in mining profitability. The push for people to continue to mine the coin, even through the few cents less a day they could produce if mining a different coin shows a strong community of supporters.
Leading into how the price held almost horizontal for some time . . this makes me think that the mining community here is not bent on immediate sales to other currencies and isn't looking to take this directly to the bank in less than a day. Backing this up so far is that the price grew by 25% and I didn't see everyone dumping immediately.
Then there's the rest of what comes with the coin itself . . which is the first coin to offer the x11 chained algorithm, the first coin to offer the DGW difficulty retargeting mechanism, a new approach to a trustless anonymous transaction system still in active beta, and a full time transparent software developer with many years of experience.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that in just a few months . . there's a lot more than just a good potential already on the table.
