I'd be pretty amazed if the USD is worth anything much by the time we achieve bitcoin parity. (18 months tops is my guess.) By then you'll be able to buy your new toys directly with DRK, or trading it for Roubles or CNY.

I'm trying to believe in you, but it's going below your 55 mark again (at least in the poor cryptsy exchange) . Hard to predict the market. Trollers in both directions are typing fast.

Note: Arbitraje is dangerous when some players in the game are not honest. Cryptsy made other coins collapse before, be careful with this exchange, They didn't fill my orders few weeks ago in the middle of pumps and dumps with other coin, (orders sent hours before the dumps/pumps, I have proof of their bad practices on logs and screenshoots). They are promoting USD as a marketing tool, but they will never open this market (they will have a lot of problems in USA). Move to other exchanges and DRK will go better.

ATTENTION EVERYONE:

Please RE-update your wallets. If you've already updated for the May 14th fork you need to re-update with the new source (dated 12 May on github), otherwise you'll be on the wrong fork:

(we should bump this up every page as there are only 2 days left)

It seems like a great coin but those are things that can be done with other coins (already or very soon) why would someone go with DRK.
DOn't get me wrong I have some DRK myself (very very few) but tell why someone should hold them more if this looks like a DUMP period ?

That's when evolution hits a brick wall down a particular chain.

25754 DRK on Mintpal is an impressive one. similar to the 29K on Cryptsy

Or as I mention before, You can create a "ficticious" sell on one exchange (not honest exchange, no audits, they can create and destroy coins for their interest, they not need miners) and then aribitraje on other exchange, to recover back. Huge business.

Someone was selling already much prior to the announcement: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/cryptsy/drkbtc

The big red spike is far larger than those which ensued after the announcement, in terms of volume. Almost 40.000 volume.

Btw, apparently most people don't even understand what they read or the implications of what they read. Ensuring that the Masternode payment code is more ironed out before going live is a very good thing as it was obviously buggy.

Better quality = happy DRKers = happy markets.

Broken coin = sad DRKers = blood-red market.

Heh, haven't seen so much commandline since my old gentoo days.
