You still saying the same think, where did anyone take over dashcoin? where did you read that the qoute from even could mean anything and nothing, its pure speculation what was bought and what was not bought.

 WHAaaat ??

 Oh man... when your mum asks where your allowance went, never let her see this thread please.

Very quaint.

I once wrote a wee piece of accounting software called "1swift".

Now a company exists called "swift" http://www.swiftaccounting.co.uk

I should go and tell them they should have "bought me out" LoL. Maybe I'll get ski-ing in Austria this year after all

Good, we could use less of you around here.

Sorry to hear some people feel like that.

The rebrand is the smartest business move the DRK team made to date, and this is going to become clear once the rebranding is in place and the wider market starts to take notice IMHO.  

 Now this sort of talk, I really welcome!

And this, I agree.

 But for f*ck's sake, Darkcoin is just over 1 year old... in fact, Darkcoin's birthdate (the name) is on Wednesday if I am not mistaken.

 You speak wise and true.

 But all-in-all, its all on Evan's shoulders. We barely have a Foundation running. We are collectively working on all that.
 But the undisputed main thing here is the man with the vision, and the code. For now, the rest is just dust in the eyes...

There is still plenty of time in the future for other important roles to be played Dash. Further, to say we lost the second most important developer is a great disservice to UdjinM6, Mr. Hardy, and Mr. Reynders, among countless other contributors.

Darkcoin is changing its name/branding to DASH – Digital Cash.
The new name will start being used officially and in external services from March 25th onwards.

Darkcoin’s vision has always been to create a trustless, decentralised, private and fast payment platform for the benefit of the majority. We are happy with the progress we are making towards reaching this goal. We’ve been able to release instant transaction confirmations, refine our privacy technology and develop our Masternode network into a strong and truly decentralised platform. We’re building a complete solution and working hard to make crypto more suitable for real world adoption. This is why we believe our new brand DASH will better represent all aspects of our platform and make it more accessible to end users.

We are only changing the name, no technology is affected by this. The coin, the blockchain and the people will be the same. Users don’t need to act on this, the next update of the wallet will have the new brand and it will be a standard update.

A new logo design has been commissioned and it will be made available after the Darkcoin Foundation members vote in around a week’s time. Exchanges, payment processors and other services have been notified so they can prepare in advance.

Our ideals remain intact and we will continue to pursue them under any branding we have, now and in the future.
