Niche vs. mass adoption? No! Have the balls to go for both. Darkcoin is a brand already.
Believe me dude, I DO get you.
But being totally bananas, Blade Runner is one of my favourite movies, and I do see Darkcoin in that scenario as nº1 currency.
But realistically I prefer to think of a better civilised future. I f*ckin´LOVE DRK, you know I do... but if you want to think global, you must... think global, and Darkcoin doesnt fit the bill. Not to mean it has to dissapear!!! At all !!
We're techno-geeks. And while a name DOES loose its meaning and acquire its own, in this day and age, Darkcoin name could be a reason we're not growing as we projected 6 months ago, when we were already kicking serious ass in the crypto-sphere.
Adapt, adopt and improve.
