Regarding the open source requests, I have some different answers:
- For basic developers and scam coin generators, with basic programming skills for “Copy-paste”->config -> rename:
First, you will need to wait until the code is finished and fully tested, then wait some prudent time for obvious market reasons.
- For high end developers, with a large programming trajectory and depth crypto experience:
Ask to join the audit group or connect with the potential candidates to get additional info from them.
- For temporal investors and day traders:
Trust in the coin developers team. If you don’t believe in the project, start trading with other coin that you feel more comfortable.
- For end DRK users:
Start using the Darksend feature as you feel comfortable.
- For High end investors:
If you want to pay something like an insurance for your investment and want an inspection about internal and potential deliberate obfuscation, malware, backdoors or something wrong in advance, I will accept do the Job for 10 BTC and perform a binary de-compiling with description of the functional operation, typical of closed source systems in large companies (I did similar jobs before). Because I think is absolutely unnecessary, I will not start this heavy work by myself. If the price rise to crazy levels and you want to have a clue before anybody about what is inside the code, maybe the 10 BTC for 2 weeks of heavy work could be good for you, not for me at this time. Once we de-compile the first binary, will be easy to check future releases and follow the binaries until final open-source.
Conclusion:
Follow the thread and news and don’t ask for open source in the middle of a development. No real professional developer will release code at current stage, because no one wants to release“work in progress” code with personal comments and testdebug routines, typical of accelerated coding methods. If you want a working code fast, you should accept what a human dev team is doing.
P.D.
I start rebuilding my DRK position after sell a small portion of them (a temporal bad decision from my side). I was analyzing several alt-coins and DRK is on the tops of Alts and have all ingredients to move up to the high-class group in short term.
From my point of view, the best ingredient is a programmer with a solid financial background. It's really hard to find somebody with this specifications.
Hope my point of view and feelings will be useful to somebody.
Mate that's an extremely useful post that contains a lot of relevance and food for thought...
I'm sure you wont have any trouble getting some takers for your analysis. Don't sell yourself too cheap, you know it will be more than 2 weeks work.
Let's say I'm a business/group that's going to take DRK seriously and make it a vital part of my "liquidity strategy", you will easily get something in the region of 75-100 BTC as a fee, interested parties will want to mitigate their risk and ensure they are not gonna be undone by some basement dwelling haxxor glory pirate that wishes he thought of DRK...
