This is worth quoting. I hope at least you're honest about yourself... so please disprove me my answering

Yep I'll agree with you there, the volume has been pretty low since the May-June explosion in price. I think one of the peak days back then was around 4000-5000 btc traded in one day. Right now we're trading around 100-300 btc a day and have been slowly going back down with whale dumps interspersed among smaller sells. Where will it bottom out exactly? No idea. But, I do know that RC4 is under development and will be quite something when it's released. Crypto traders are incredibly impatient though, so whether the market has the patience to wait for it is another matter entirely.

Picture crypto trading as hundreds of merry-go-rounds on a fair ground; one for each coin. When the merry go round slows down people become impatient, and start looking around for one that's speeding up or looking like it will sped up. If the one they are on isn't spinning fast enough they'll lose patience and jump off. I'm fairly sure when RC4 is ready our merry-go-round will attract quite the crowd.


A couple ideas being thrown around are using masternodes to host the blockchain for lightweight clients (similar to electrum for bitcoin), or using them to host Tor relays. There are a ton of possibilities, those are just a couple ideas.

that is a very fair question and can one of our senior members please resend the up coming feature list that Evan and elito posted?  Thanks guys

Hope not to see you again.

Hi CHAOSITEC...there is a list of official features that Evan has mentioned.  Can we at least post these on here for ignitiondefect please.  I'm sure anything that is topsecret does not need to be mentioned.  In the spirit of turning this thread positive and a place for information...

Can we compile a comprehensive list of features of darkcoin today and coming some and have us post this on here?  Thanks

thanks!

DRK guys,

The level of hostility and tit-for-tat retorts against Bobsurplus and Shojayxt has gone to fever pitch. What happened to just ignoring these guys?

Think back to your school days. What was the most effective tool against a playground bully? To ignore them. They hate being ignored because a lack of response from you is the very worst of experiences for them. And when you do this they ratchet up the pressure and get much louder. And if you continue to ignore them they get even LOUDER. And then, with continued ignoring they enter into a frothing-at-the-mouth phase where it's so extreme they end up making a complete spectacle of themselves.

The problem here is that we're failing to ignore them (even after everyone's said they would). To "ignore" means exactly that. It's to not respond at all on any level to a single posting. It means don't even use a blank quote box (so that you're not reiterating their words); the mere fact you're writing a responding post means you've not ignored them. Just don't respond AT ALL. They will get louder and louder but will suddenly vanish. That's how it works.

It is obvious to anyone that has any experience at all with human nature that Bobsurplus and Shojayxt are worried about DRK's likely success and feel a desperate need to put DRK, and everyone here that believes in it, down. As someone pointed out, we should be flattered. But their venom and nastiness will just disappear if we truly ignore them in every respect.

ohh and bobsurplus has assured TheDagger that he will stop

Are you serious?  A decentralised anonymous corporation stock exchange?  I'm sure that the SEC and IRS are really going to approve of that.

That might fly in some third world or Eastern Bloc country but never in the United States.  With impending regulation regarding Bitcoin what makes you think an anonymous coin is safe?  That's why anonymous coins are just an underground fad right now.  They will never gain mainstream adoption because of the anonymity that will be a catalyst for nations around the world to implement more restrictive regulations regarding cryptocurrency transactions.  The reason Bitcoin will survive is because it is not anonymous and they plan on staying that way.  DRK will only have a use for p2p transactions or nefarious underground websites.

You people are kidding yourselves if you think that governments around the world are not going to shut something down that allows masses of people to buy and sell, transfer and receive funds without some way for them to track those transactions to ensure that you're not money laundering, funding terrorists, or failing to pay taxes.

Don't get me wrong.  True anonymity is a good thing but it's never going to be allowed.  That's why Darkcoin is doomed to fail.
