^ do you realize vertoe made that post after the price had doubled after he had dumped? Often it doesn't even take that much of butt hurt to make a man bitter.

"Golden donkey Rhapsody"
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality.
Open your eyes,
Look up to the charts and see,
I'm just a DRK boy, I need no sympathy,
Bitcoin I'm easy come, easy go,
sell high, buy low,
Anyway the price goes doesn't really matter to me, to me.
Evan, just killed a troll,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Evan, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Evan, ooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
pump on, pump on as if nothing really matters.
Too late, the price is down,
Sent shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Evan, ooh (anyway the price goes),
I don't wanna die,
I sometimes wish I'd never bought at all.
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scarasmooth, Scarasmooth, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning,
Very, very frightening me.
(Monero) Monero.
(Monero) Monero,
Monero Figaro
Monerofico.
I'm just a DRK boy, nobody loves me.
He's just a DRK boy from a DRK family,
Spare him his life from this MONEROSITY.
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bitcoin! No, we will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Bitcoin! We will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Bitcoin! We will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Never, never let you go
Never let me go, oh.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, Evan duffy, Evan duffy (Evan duffy, let me go.)
Bitcointalk has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.
So you think you can troll me and spit in my coin?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.
(Oh, yeah, oh yeah)
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me.
Anyway the price goes.
i cant blame anyone to stay with this project. you are probably investors trying to win a gold donkey. or you are simply trying to exploit every possible vector of profit in the coins space. whatever. you are not here because darkcoin is something it claims to be.

I heard Evan and his Mom have the spork ability. So there goes your daydream.
Seriously. I doubt that Evan's mom also having the spork key will have any impact on the "daydream", regardless of whether Evan is living in his mom's basement or not.

I wonder how Illodin feels about that since from the quotes it appears that he was one of the people trying to get this mining up and running trying to be one of the first to insta-mine it.
I would not be happy if i was mislead like that. It seems that in this case Evan certainly did not keep his word at least not as it could have been reasonably understood from his posts.

I managed to mine just fine on my Windows desktop using VirtualBox + Ubuntu. I also bought more coins at the rate of 10k @ 0.25 BTC. I would say I'm pretty happy how things turned out. I hope my answer didn't disappoint you too much.

To acheive this, they’ve got to convince people of three things:
[1] - that the public ledger is of little or no benefit to them either collectively or individually and it is in fact “a threat”
[2] - that any technology attempting to enhance anonymity directly while preserving the concept of the public ledger is either flawed, a scam or unsecure
[3] - that “visibility” and “fungibility” are interchangeable monetary properties and therefore that money will retain its value even if “invisible”

Three possibilities:
- Mandatory transparency (Bitcoin)
- Optional transparency (Monero)
- Mandatory privacy (Zerocash, if ever)
The dangers of mandatory transparency
The power of optional transparency
The low demand for mandatory privacy
I consider the demand for mandatory privacy (Zerocash) is much lower than the one for optional transparency (Monero). Much like the demand for throwaway email addresses is real but much lower than for regular mail addresses. And this is independant of the feasibility of zerocash (which presently is low), so even if Zerocash would happen (good luck with that), it would not enjoy much success (compared to the other two configurations).

DRK was always suspicious too me, it will die a slow and painful dead like litecoin.
What does XMR bring of new things to the crypto scene?
I seen many high rank members support this coin.
Do you think it will substitute bitcoin eventually?

RIP XMR, wish u all the best... 
XMR gained more value or lost less than DRK in the last 7 and 30 days.
Does this mean this DRK scamcoin is finally dead?

My crypto anthem( Not mine but could be an anthem)
2nd verse:
Well I woke up to see them, these two mighty steeds
With their mouths grinning wildly expressing my needs
As they stood there above me, being flanked on each side
I felt no need to fear them, no reason to hide
So I reached up to touch but they faded too soon
Yet their mouths still remained and stacked up towards the moon
How that ladder of mouth waved so soft in the night
And I looked up in awe at that beautiful sight
And I dreamt about climbing into the night sky
But I knew had I touched them they'd mouth back 'bye bye'
So I got up and walked down the path in the dark
And there deep in the distance my eye caught a spark
Of a crab twice my size with incredible strength
Oh it greeted me kindly and then we all drank
And we drooled out together right onto the ground
And the ocean grew up quickly right up all around
And the earth looked at me and said "wasn't that fun?"
And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone"
And without even thinking cast me into space
But before she did that she wiped off my own face
She said better luck next time don't worry so much
Without ears I couldn't hear I could just feel the touch
As I feel asleep softly at the edge of a cave
But I should have gone deeper but I'm not so brave

What you're describing is Zerocash, where even the ledger itself is obscured totally
Nice. Sounds like everyone's falling over themselves to be more "invisible" than the next. If anyone thought Darkcoin had a branding problem then selling "invisible money" to the masses should be interesting.
IM Vendor to potential adopter:
Hey mate ! You should check out this new money. It's invisible.
Potential adopter:
But how do I know it's real ?
IM Vendor:
Easy ! We'll give you this special key so you can only see your money and no one else's
Potential adopter:
Really ? But how do I know there's is real ?
IM Vendor:
Easy ! You can see them buying stuff with it !
Potential adopter:
Really ? Where ?
IM Vendor:
Easy ! There's this thing called the block......
oops
How is it any more invisible than btc, not like the average person is gonna stare at a blockchain all day? I can see MY transactions, and if i want others to see them i can use the viewkey--this is a great thing if you want privacy. Not sure why you don't get why people want privacy, but good luck with your Amway nodes.

If I had to chose then would I say XMR.
I think DRK is a pump'n'dump like any other altcoin, I just don't see what i brings.
Also for wide adaptation, I cannot picture my mom or dad going down to the store and say
"oh dear, how many "Darkcoin" does the milk cost" - the name sucks adaption wise.
Same as with those "blackcoin" or "whitecoin", will never be adapted because of the name.

Just in time for your mom and dad:
http://cointelegraph.com/news/113781/darkcoin-is-now-dash-and-not-a-moment-too-soon
Seams suspicious too me. I think that I agree with those saying that XMR is something new and DarkCoinz are just another bitcoin.
I would not touch those XMR either.
The only altcoin I think is good is CLAM, because you can use it to have fun and gamble.
Also a CLAM is always CALM.
