What are you talking about? Litecoin has done nothing but go down and stay down:

I wish we had MultiDark someday...

We need exchanges that start tying altcoin trading to DRK.
We need DRK to become a denominator.
NMC/DRK, LTC/DRK, DOGE/DRK, XMR/DRK, PPC/DRK, etc... no matter what altcoin it is (everybody is welcome), enabling/sharing their liquidity will boost DRK price by a tenfold.

It's the single most important reason why LTC has such an insane volume and still an unreasonably (IMHO) high price.

mintpal, cryptsy etc all have LTC Markets... why don't they have DRK Markets too?

We have a lot of very delusional crazies here.

The biggest problem of DRK - and all other altcoins - is the obvious lack of liquidity.
The crazies here brag and moan about the wild swings of the price.
Indeed it only means someone is using the coin.
A single transaction of a couple of 100.000 $ will let the price swing in the means of 30-40%.

This is why your beloved coin, no matter how advanced the software might be, is pretty useless as a currency.
To create a usable financial instrument it is vital to provide liquidity.
If you can't do that, you're practically DOA.
Theres no fix for that, harsh reality sucks.
Neither for DRK, nor for any other altcoin.

The way it is done thru the "markets" is a total failure.
It only ever means that a lot of capital ends up in the wrong pockets, in a total rigged shell game.
And it does nothing to provide liquidity.

Any? No, of course not. Look at CryptoNight, XMR's PoW, for example. Running that one 100% on any current GPU would be a really neat trick - seeing as memory accesses are going to just kill your GPU usage per thread. Normally, what you do in that circumstance is just run an asston of threads until you're using a decent amount of the compute capabilities... but you can't do that with CN. Why? Because each hash requires 2MiB of scratchpad, you are gonna run outta memory LONG before you run outta compute capability. So, it's a dog on GPUs and is going to be for the forseeable future, I think.

X11? No, you don't have that excuse - not even close. Yes, it uses memory, but the amount is TINY. We're talking MINISCULE levels compared to CN, and as a matter of fact, it can be reduced by (don't quote me, this is a rather rough estimate since I'm not counting bytes) probably half. This means that you're already going to run out of compute capabilities a LONG ASS TIME before you even think you might be low on memory. And even if that weren't the case - several parts of X11 can have their memory usage VASTLY reduced if you're willing to trade memory access for computations. In the current situation (being that compute capability is our bottleneck) that still is sometimes a good idea, but sometimes not. Since a LOT of memory usage and accesses can be removed from the current X11 kernel for almost no hit when it comes to computation, increasing overall speed, that makes it even less likely you'd be limited by memory.

So, no. SOME algorithms are always gonna be dogs on GPUs as far as I can tell - using very little of its power. X11 is not one of them.

By the way, combinations of algorithms are probably gonna be a LOT easier to parallelize. Why? You can do them in any order - so if one hogs memory and the other hogs compute, run them in parallel. Now, before you say I'm retarded and X11 must be done in order (which would be correct, the latter part) - consider that you are doing the same thing over and over. If I run one hash, then start another thread later, I could conceivably, by running two completely different X11 hashes at the same time on the same GPU, work it out so that they aren't synced. What I mean by that is, while thread 0 is running the first, I could have thread 1 running the fifth. By doing this, it could be possible to use more compute, if memory access were a bottleneck. (Again, it isn't.)

Am I missing something here? Why is Darkcoin the only coin in the top 10 to have dropped significantly over the last 24 hours? Over 5% lost.

You have all these great announcements and features (anonymous sending, open source, instant transactions) and yet the price just either stays the same or goes down.

The volume on fucking Dogecoin (that as far as I can tell offers jack shit) was 6x Darkcoin in the last 24 hours. It's like a bad joke. The market cap too is looking like it will drop below Namecoin.

Before any calls me a "troll" or "hater" (I hate people who do that), you should know I own a pretty significant number of Darkcoins and have for a while. It's the only coin I own aside from Bitcoin, because I believe in the principle of an anonymous currency and I like how Darkcoin has been developed. But what the hell? You have HUGE developments and virtually zero price movement or greater adoption.

I think it's time to face reality... Darkcoin seems unable to break out of a small core group of believers. Something obviously needs to give
