XDN was at one point only about 3 sats on market, do not assume big bags means massive mining. I mined a bit in the beginning, but got the majority from market, from early miners selling at low amounts. It has balanced out nicely.

its seems like you only got 14 posts and what your telling makes no sence at all, aka  FUD

No, it doesn't make sense. Huge percentage of coins was mined during first couple of months(i looked through stats), and it seems like this is work of these "several big stakeholders".

Yes, DarkNote reward halves every 11000  blocks. The minimum block reward is 150 XDN.
It's a part of XDN smart economy strategy.
It was done to bring the major (more than 70%) of XDN coin units to the free cryptocurrencies market in the first year with the Proof-of-Work mining. The idea behind this is tDarkNote value and price should be ruled only by free open markets, not several big stakeholders/miners like it's done in other cryptocurrencies.

But also, PoW/PoS Hybrid scheme will be implemented soon.

The rewards are so low now it hardly makes sense to mine.

Thank you, luck is always appreciated.
Hope you'll try xdn sometime. Not a best day/week for xdn. Could be a good time to buy though, hah.

Thanks a lot, really good and understandable points.
Actually that kind of emission fits well if they really were going to launch PoS/PoW hybrid right from the start and it would definitely make sense, but suspicions make sense as well. Another thanks for the final tips, i'll look into it.

At least it's good to know that there are some real people, who really care. Thanks for the answer. I don't have any experience to advice you something, but as a new member i could tell darknote definitely needs a website, faq or wiki and everything like that, so people like me wouldn't feel just lost in the ocean of information.
Good luck!

Good posts! XDN is definitely a good bet for a secondary cryptonote, and probably ahead of bbr now,  which is in third place. I own some of all three. If xmr takes off so will XDN ... pepsi/coke type of thing

As someone who holds some darknote, boolberry, and monero, I think there are a couple of reasons that monero has a greater level of interest/marketcap/trade volume/etc.

1) The development team appears to actually be a team, several members of which are well-known (within the cryptocurrency world), particularly fluffypony and tacotime, and several of which have disclosed their irl identities, at least fluffypony (richard spagniola (sp?)) and davidlatapie (david latapie). dNote claims that there is a team of folks working on the dark duck, but he is the only one who ever posts or commits on github, and he is an unknown in terms of bitcointalk/irc/crypto world and as well as irl identity. The monero team is quite active as a whole (the sum of all members contributions) on bitcointalk, irc, github, reddit, their own websites, etc., whereas dNote posts maybe once a week or two on bitcointalk, has no irc presence, and seldom updates the website or github repo. I think boolberry and cryptozoidberg are even worse in this regard, with practically no updates or interactions with miners, speculators, or others interested in the coin.

2) The distribution of darkducknote coins was extremely rapid compared to monero (and especially compared to boolberry). dNote has offered various rationales for disbursing 85% of all coins that will ever exist when the network hashrate was 1/20 or 1/100 of monero's network at the same time, but I think to a lot of people it smells like an instamine and seems a bit scammy. Before it switched from duck to darknote, around 85% of coins ever to exist were mined in approximately 3 months. Granted, its not as bad as shadowcoin and it's ilk that had a few days or weeks of PoW before switching completely to PoS, but I think it's along the same lines in the minds of at least some people interested in cryptonotes.

Anyway, as the person before me said, "You're not supposed to take anyone's word...". The activity level of the development team is fairly easy to verify, as well as the number of coins in circulation and the network hashrate at any point in time (using the graphs at minergate or chainradar). In my opinion it's these two factors (transparency and activity of team and coin emission) that led to monero dominating the cryptonote space at the moment.

Your first message and you hit the problem right in the face, man. You're not supposed to take anyone's word, but i give you mine - xdn is a nice coin, it has potential and it definitely has future. But xmr - these guys have community. Darknote features are actually better, than Moneros, but somehow these guys got an enormous crowd. I sometimes wonder myself, why xdn doesn't have it like that. We even decided to launch a website(yes, official one is a mess), where guys like you could find any information, but it's baby steps.
I hope we'll launch it in April.
If you have any ideas or questions, you can pm me or write here.

Hello, guys.
Disclamer: I don't want to mess up with you, i just want to understand. I wanted to try some CryptoNote coin and did some research. It seems that bytecoin has some serious reputation issues, so i don't wanna be a part of it, then i checked out monero, and recently - i found this darknote coin of yours. I like its features, i just don't understand, why so little people know about you and mine darknotes?
Monero has community so huge it hurts when i try to read their endless threads. And they don't have a GUI client, which was unexpected for me. I don't see any crucial advantages of monero over darknote. But i'm new.
Naive question to ask but still - are XDN any good?
Official website is a little bit too fucked up to be really official, isn't it?

Just an early bird taking profits.

awesome thank you!

I think mac is the same as linux, which I think should be in a hidden folder in your home/user directory called ".darknote", so path would be like:

If you've already run darknoted, then this folder should already exist.

trying to get the simplewallet/darknoted running on my mac...i have downloaded the blockchain from mega...but cant figure out where to put the two files in the zip..any help would be great!

Good to know that the work is still in progress.
Thanks dNote.

Development process is going nice and smooth, we are implementing new features, making various tests and improving current stuff.
