Do people REALLY not understand why and how the price is kept low?

The answer has been brought up several times and it's obvious to everyone except the people who start their question with "dark is the best thing in my life and can do no wrong.. but...?"

I expected people involved in crypto to think for themselves just a bit more.
^Now this was facetious, especially considering the previous 399 pages of this post.

Official fundraiser for Darkcoin marketing & branding

Since Darkcoin was 0% premined, we will be doing this the old fashioned way, with a fundraiser. Many people in the community have expressed an interest in pushing our marketing effort along. We wanted to make sure the time was right, while Evan sorted out the kinks in the Darksend code. But we are nearly ready to show Darkcoin and Darksend to the world, so let's get this moving.

I will release a list of bounties for marketing & branding in the next day or so when I have a bit of spare time. For now, you may donate to the official fundraising wallet (anonymously if you like!). You can also PM me with your donation details and I'll keep some accounting, if only for the sake of making sure your donation is accounted for and spent appropriately.

As always, you are a fantastic community and we appreciate your support!

What post? I think you forgot to quote.

There's no post. There's no post with the subject: "Hey all, everyone got together and thought about it and agreed that this is the reason why the price is so low."

Even in the face of overwhelming evidence, there are shills who vehemently deny it until any real talk eventually gets drowned out in the sea of clueless cheerleading.

I know this sounds trollish. But I'm a supporter of dark, despite these flaws. If you want to understand as well, I would suggest taking an afternoon and reading back, or doing the math behind the price. There's no need to keep rehashing the same old argument that people don't want to have.

I could bother to type out a coherent, well formatted post, only to have 10 other people whose interests it hurts pick apart my post with half truths or bullish pitches. And it would have the opposite effect that I would like. I'd like people to think for themselves and not rely on the most recent page for what they should be thinking, or more importantly, what they should be doing with their money.

This compromises anonymity (unless the message is utterly generic, in which case there's no reason to send it). You could argue that it's one person voluntarily compromising his/her own anonymity but because of the way DarkSend works, they're chipping away at the anonymity of everyone else involved in the mixing.

1. Sent 84 drk [2 x the answer to everything]
May the force be with their marketing activity.

2. I think the idea of a fundraiser is great, BUT from my experience it also encourages people to send some coins, sit back as viewers, and simply wait for someone to propel something. This is what i felt when Litecoin did its fundraising a year ago, and it felt very bad to sit and wait for someone to do something.

I believe, in parallel to the organized campaign above, we should ALL declare that each of us is hereafter committed to doing one thing, whatever he/she chooses, to progress the coin.
One will decide to make a video for youtube. another will at his free time write something on their blog. a third might make a list of relevant bloggers and post it here. Another can send emails, and another can declare that he/she will bring 10 new users to darkcoin, family, friends, etc.
Everything is progress, as long as it's not just sitting back and waiting... or looking at the price stagnation all day.
imho, if each and every one of us does just one thing for this coin, it will move way faster than any "organized" campaign.
I am going to write a one-pager for darkcoin. Like an executive summary, for bloggers, journalists, etc..

Who else will commit to do something?

i agree that it must be open source. If it is good it is up to the community to decide if this coin will succeed and help make it better.

people must understand that they should stop supporting stupid clones with nothing new except name and actually support new ideas.
