Topic: Vertcoin - First Scrypt N | First Stealth Address - Privacy without mixer - page 210. (Read 1232754 times)

Take them 1 by 1:

1) Single developer vs great team. I asked what has the great team of vertcoin developed? How is it possible that a "single developer" has done so much job and Vertcoin has done nothing? I'm giving them an indirect kick in the butt to get things moving. That's not criticism that you should object, but rather welcome. It's what will make your and my vertcoins worth something. Expecting the next pump is not a serious strategy for doing well, in the long-term.
2) Closed source until public release. FUD.
3) Wallets change often because it's a bleeding-edge coin as it transitions from beta to RC to final for DarkSend, masternode payments, DGW3 etc etc. What is that guy saying? That stagnation is better than innovation because the wallet has to change? Wow, such stability, we never do anything, we have one wallet and we are thus better, lol.
4) Argument that goes both ways: Legitimate cpu miners feel excluded with scrypt-N
5) Privacy is not illegal and the argument "I want the government to track me because I do nothing illegal" is stupid / FUD. You don't want your bank account or credit card statement to be online for everyone to see, so why would you want this with your cryptocurrency through a public blockchain?
6) The developer has clearly expressed that Darkcoin will follow the path of Bitcoin. CPU=>GPU=>ASIC. He also said that the hashes are pretty good for ASIC although it'll be probably take time before they are ported.

As you can see the only point is (6). "We want ASIC resistance and we'll hardfork". 1-2-3-4-5 are either FUD or reversed logic and even (6) for DRK is in an air of mist that it's somehow unclear what it'll do, when it's not. For the time being both DRK and vertcoin are ASIC resistant as there are no ASICs.


I don't own coins that I don't know what they do.

Discussing similar coins is really useful for understanding Vertcoin and introducing others to it.. I don't think there's any reason not to be mentioning DRK and other coins.

I think your diagnosis of the strengths of Vertcoin is spot on, by the way.  The focus on strengthening the blockchain and keeping it distributed is the correct one at the moment: anonymity is not a crucial feature right now. DRK's implementation is not ideal either.

Please stop saying darkcoin in this forum now. I don't want us to pretend to be some rival to whatever other new coins are out there. Lets keep the topic to vertcoin specifically.

AlexGR ... I guess you sitting on wrong thread... you noticed its VTC not DRK right?

I am as well mining on 1 rig DRK since over month but not because believe in it (not like Its bad coin or etc) but because have to (need little lower power usage of all rigs together)... but still I am sure VTC offering way more.... anyway good luck but get back to proper thread already as you really missing aim of this thread totally...

We don't make it a point to talk down or about other coins that have nothing to do with us.
