Many packages in official repos are often months out of date. I wouldn't count on the repo maintainers to give any priority to darkcoin builds.

If you can't mine I would suggest getting an account on an exchange either cryptsy, mintpal, etc. either purchase btc and buy dark or find a good coin with lots of faucets and just use your exchange deposit address and when u get up some coins dump them for drk. I've found that bitcoindark has a nice faucet that gives a decent amount twice a day and you could have enough for 1 drk in a couple of weeks.

As one of my first Darkcoin Foundation initiatives and in the spirit of RC5 (it sure is great to have anon coins at the ready to use whenever you want!) I want to announce the:

Minotaur Labyrinth - Darkcoin Giveaway Contest. with a prize of 26DRK  .

Participants must be newcomers to Darkcoin, no known trolls, no known supporters or brand new accounts. All you have to do is answer two questions here in the forum:

Why should someone invest in Darkcoin?

How Darksend works?

I will take known supporters opinion as to which is the best answer and pick a winner. Feel free to be creative but your answer must make sense, lets have some fun.


Important: It is not officially open yet, at this point I would like some feedback from known supporters, what do you think of the idea and do you have any rule suggestions?  If the idea has good acceptance we will officially open the contest in a couple of hours.  You will know for how long it will be running and when the winner would be picked.

Let me know what you guys think, is this something you would like to do? We could do more contests like this later for other things too.

RC3, RC4 RC5 soon to be RC6 and you guys still failing... Where are all you who told me 2 months ago that RC4 was gonna bring this coin back from the dead??


Shit still looks dead to me.... am I wrong?


 

Poor Bob  

Yes, as usual, you're wrong. Last time you were here you were touting your shitcoin that was supposed to be superior to drk, but look what happened lol.

Darkcoin is actually ready to be fully released (anon features are now ready, and open source in less than a week), and will be ready to be marketed to vendors and retailers. It's very different from coins that might get anon in 2 months and other features only on the roadmap months into the future with all kinds of potential problems that might arise.

No I'm not wrong. I was here when cloak was still trading under 100K. It peaked at 350K and sat around 200K till the devs failed on POSA V2.

If you guys would have listened to me then and picked some up you could have seen 200% if you weren't greedy.

DRK is still nowhere, and in the mean time the other coins I been speaking about on the forums have seen over 600% gains.

XST, LXC, xcloud (200%) I can go on but you get the point I'm sure.

Strength in numbers!

How can I fuck people on cloak. The devs went silent after the failed PoSA V2 audit.

I was just smart enough to see it coming and got out the majority of my stack before then. I call that smart money.

I dont fall in love with coins and neither should you guys.. Unless its Bitcoin. That coin is safe to fall in love with and HODL for the long run.

Let's all do what bob says.. power in numbers right? Then he and his gang dumps all their coins they bought ages on the late comers and move on.

That's how it works right?

Thanks but no thanks.
