I have been mining DRK since about 20 minutes after I heard about it, and still mine it. I don't give a fuck about other miners, they can mine whatever they please. Miners are necessary but they are easily replaced, it's called a feedback loop.

Don't like mining DRK, or 'losing' 20% of block reward to the masternodes that give the coin value? Sod off and mine something else.

Essentially, yes. It's all about math. If you or others stop mining, then block reward goes up and difficulty goes down, mining becomes more profitable, and others come in to fill your shoes.

Everybody needs to calm down for a bit, individual opinions are just that, and we are free to debate but they do not represent the opinion of the majority or of Darkcoin. Everybody is valuable and of course the coin needs its miners and they are rewarded for their efforts, so could we please move on.  Every time we have price swings, detractors of the coin come here to try to exacerbate any issue and make it seem like a crisis.  This is an RC and a few tweaks are expected the important thing is we are already on mainnet and we are not going back Evan will fix any minor issues we have and we continue forward. There are 3 types of sellers right now: the ones that honestly want out and that is their prerogative and we respect their decision, the ones that are trying to sell to buy lower ( this is the majority in my opinion) well good luck to you guys it is really a lottery and the ones that are panic selling, don’t panic sell that is one of the worst things you can do, actually the panic sellers feed the rest, you haven’t lost anything until you sell.   If you believe in anonymous crypto currencies then hold, Darkcoin is facing growing pains that all projects would eventually face  if they were real but none of the others are there yet. So do not panic sell Darkcoin is here to stay, this launch ensures the continuity of the project, a failed launch would have been catastrophical, this was a successful launch, no forks, no reverting, we go forward.  Evan fixes the kinks, Kristov finishes his review, we go to RC5. Other projects are a time bomb just like us they will eventually have to face reality you cant put off the launch forever we are here and we survived, now we can continue and when you see the Darkcoin blockchain turn into a fog in the next couple of weeks confidence will grow.

So our work is just about to begin.

We have our eCash. Now we need to start building stuff to use it with.

I prefer to look at it from a more accurate perspective.

DRK is hybrid block proof. Miners are only 50% of the contribution, but they get paid 80% of the block reward. And they complain about that?

They're used to being the only thing that proves a block. Now that they have to share that job with another block proof concept, they want MNs to get paid nothing at all while doing half the work...

Yeah, makes sense, totally...

Whiny miners, fuck off. Idiots who don't understand the fundamental changes, fuck off.

Fundamentals. Fundamental changes... The reason they aren't noticing is because they're shitcoiners who aren't even looking and wouldn't understand even if they did. Stupid is as stupid does.

Fuck this noise. It's my b-day. I'm off to make poor decisions in the company of sordid women,..

dude - happy birthday

i'm getting some Darksend Denominate transactions on Testnet.. is looking good.

Proof of work was partly invented to stop email spam.

If you use PoS, you create spam. A few people able to create many staking wallets. That is partly why PoS = proof of shit (jack shit, i.e. nothing).
