Dude, seriously, this is not a matter of religion ("faith" and "vision"). Sorry that I pick on you, nothing personal, but the amateurish attitude in this thread is really becoming a contraindicator to me. Sentiment wise this sounds like seriously overbought to me, but I guess the mania has not even started so I`ll keep my masternodes...but please, man up folks.

I don't quite understand.  You made a paper wallet, and you are trying to import it into a wallet?  Does it have any coins in it?  It might be that if the wallet was never used, no coins ever went into it, that it will reject when you try to import it into a wallet.

Try putting a very small amount into it perhaps if that's the case, then try again to import it.  Never use the paper wallet more than once.

Contemplate this: Dark is simultaneously being "attacked" by Bytecoin clones for not being anonymous enough and then Vertcoin comes along and says "oh you are too anonymous for our preference".

Darkcoin is the main river right now, carrying on with the anonymity. Everyone is trying to be the tributary river who gains money off Drk by inventing "problems" that they can "improve upon".

Vertcoin discovered that the "problem" of Darkcoin is too much anonymity and it has the solution to "fix it": Privacy.

Bytecoin clones discovered that the "problem" of Darkcoin is that it's level of anonymity is not like NSA-proof grade, and thus "not anonymous" (yet BCN + clones aren't NSA proof either and if they say they are = it's snake oil). But that's secondary to the huge other problems they have in terms of being an untested blockchain platform (or those of usability and scaling).

Thanks for the heads up, I missed that post in the sea.

I don`t actually care if DRK is "attacked" by someone. I would care on a personal level if Evan was "attacked". That`s why I do not like those instamine rumours. But DRK is not my local football team. It`s a coin competing with others.
"Vertcoin" did not discover anything, the OP in the reddit did point out the difference between privacy and anonymity and I think he has a point. I actually like DRK because to me Evan is the kind of guy who would not feel "attacked" by such a comment but say "ok, intersting, let`s implement that as well".

He's a holder. You are preaching to the choir. And he does have a point that the silly one-liner messages have escalated after the price rise, but that's, up to a degree, normal because there were a lot of new arrivals due to the attention.

Dude, do you even know what you are talking about? Swiss banking? Try and get a swiss bank account as an american citizen for instance. DRK is in fact far superior to the swiss franc in many ways, but in others it is not. I actually agree with most of your comments, especially those ones about people selling to early, but try staying rational. I am not even a talented short term trader, just a pretty seasoned investor, but selling some DRK into parabolic rises and buying them back much cheaper IS nice and easier than I ever thought with such irrational behavior around here.
And keep your mind open for doubts. DRK might be THE thing. But maybe not. It`s not about faith, it`s about facts and fundamentals. Let`s discuss those.

This is what it boils down to for me. I'm supporting what I genuinely (mock me all you like, I'm far too old to care  ) believe is important to society at large. Making a bit of extra pocket money along the way is just the icing.

I haven't had the time yet to read up on this stealth address thing, but I'm confident that if it's deemed worthwhile, DRK can implement it too. As TanteStefana and others keep pointing out, Evan isn't religious about his code, he's ruthless. What needs doing gets done.

I like that phrase "significant asset". Very good descriptor.  And clearly the fact that we are staying up here after such an amazing rally tells me there are many large investors quietly and consistently buying up DRK being sold for "chump change".
These large investors will need to boost their offer price by 500x to get 1 DRK out of me. Yes, 500x. FTW

Just on the off chance, are you Nr.1?
