Exactly the opposite, actually. The same way that we aren't competing with any of the companies you listed earlier.

I'm not sure that particular association is one we need to worry about bringing the sky tumbling down on us. Taking a step back, however, it seems to me that you're primarily concerned with differentiation in the market space. Our disagreement is on how all-encompassing the market space is...

You edited those links in as I was responding. With respect, I think your argument is a bit weak. "Financials" is a very broad brush, and none of those have the specific name we want nor do any of them do what we do.

As I said, I'm not even certain that is the company. I'd have to look at the minutes from the last board meeting. Whether that's the one or not, nobody owns a trademark on Dash. Someone has simply applied for one, and they are a start up, not established by any means, and younger than...

I'm not 100% certain, but I think that may be the company whose trademark application we will be challenging.

This is what I was saying earlier. At first it's sort of blah. Then you think about it, and the more you think about it, the more sense it makes. Digital Cash Implies speed (InstantX) Easy to say & remember Innocuous enough for mainstreaming Apple Pay, Mega, Square, Yelp, Nest, Uber - huge...

Basically, yes. It is a way to build structure around the coin in ways that may be difficult for an individual or disparate group to do. It allows us to coordinate fundraising and expenditure, advocate and/or lobby in the interests of the coin (or crypto in general) in an official manner...

I've been getting to know and adjusting to life with my new son :). I'm not sure my mind would have survived both that and frequent exposure to the world of crypto-currencies intact... I am one of the five members of the Foundation board, yes. I currently serve as Secretary. That has been my...

In our last meeting, I floated a similar idea to the other Foundation board members. The idea would be to rebrand InstantX to Dash for the purpose of name association, then later on drop Darkcoin and fully tranaition to Dash. There are good arguments against this, however. It may cause...

Though it is open for public discussion and input is sought and welcome, this is ultimately a decision for Evan and the Foundation to make. We are exploring the feasibility of securing a trademark on the Dash name, but this will include some legal maneuvering, so frankly, expectations for...

So, something that I think is missing from this discussion is the importance of InstantX not just to Darkcoin, but to crypto in general. It is at least as important to crypto as anonymity is - actually, probably even moreso in terms of mainstreaming the technology. The "Digital Cash" or "Dark...

There are some legal hoops to jump through to see if we can use Dash/DASH, but that is the intent of the Foundation, barring better proposals.

Yes, this is exactly the point that was raised at the time I mentioned it.

Yes and no. As I mentioned above, I think the current name has tons of sex appeal to a certain demographic, but once that demographic is saturated, the name becomes a liability. A re-brand could be approached in several ways, some of which we have discussed in foundation board meetings. In the...

I don't think it's succinct or unique enough, and technically it applies to every crypto-currency in existence. And it's more like a description, not a brand. Like how Ron Swanson named his company "Very Good Building and Construction Company".

Yes. This is the reason we want to drop "coin" from the name as well.

Nah, just had a 7 lb. tyrant move in with me.

I've resisted a re-brand for quite some time, but as the coin matures, it makes sense, and I find myself running out of good arguments against. I haven't read all the way through the original thread, but I take it things went a little sideways? The "Darkcoin" name gets us to where we are now...

Sure, good point. It's a concept right now. We've seen how much Darksend has evolved since February, this will probably follow a similar course.

IP obfuscation is essential to the coin's core function of privacy, so it will likely be first. DarkTor is not the only big thing in the pipeline either, I think prioritization will depend on a few things (dev time, user demand, etc.).

Unless he's changed his mind since we talked about this a while back, users will purchase 24 hours of access to DarkTor and one Masternode per 24 hours will receive all of those funds.

Hi everyone, I just received an official-ish looking email appearing to be from "[email protected]" Edit: Propulsion has looked into this - the source that the scammer is using is not darkcointalk.org. User data is secure on this site. The scammer probably picked up user data from another...

Hello everyone, We're a few days into RC4 and things are going relatively well for an update of this size and scope. A few bugs have turned up and they are being dealt with in turn. Please be aware that these affect local wallets only and not the underlying structure of Darksend or Darkcoin...

yidakee is spooling up the Compliance Brigades as we speak.

Nope. I spoke with Evan about it briefly. He is going to implement some optimizations to try and mitigate this moving forward. It should stop once the wallet is finished denominating.

Yes.

Great, thanks.

Damn it someone saw before I edited :tongue:

Can someone make me testnet rich? mqarVqPESK3TVd7Kriyv5gKvDN6CbgECco Edit: I'm totally cool with mainnet rich too... XbKdy8Jf3wfiK7a6E3gz8SYrPmb5NLZefU

I want to start slowly transitioning to the "privacy" concept vs. anonymity. No need to scrub the whole site, but changing that one would be cool. I don't remember who rendered that graphic, raze maybe? Or did that come from the original designer? I'll have to go back and read. I'm on...

The bounties were put on hold for a while and I'm not exactly sure what is going on with those funds. Evan was going to turn the wallet over to me at some point but it's not an issue that has come up recently (he's very focused on getting RC4 out right now). In regards to the video content -...

It's been brought to our attention that someone named r-ando on the bitcointalk forum is soliciting donations for the "World Darkcoin Foundation" . Please be aware that r-ando and the World Darkcoin Foundation are not affiliated in any way with Darkcoin, Evan, or the development team. We have...

Please update at your first convenience. Note that this is an incremental and bug fix update, not the RC4 wallet. Binaries: https://www.darkcoin.io/getstarted.html Source: https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin Linux 32 and Mac OS X are now officially supported platforms! Release Notes:

Not yet, but we'll put that information out here, on twitter (and other social media outlets) as well as via email as soon as the timeframe is narrowed down. You can sign up for the mailing list here.

Enforcement code is written in, but this will be a soft fork (spork) implementation and enforcement will not be immediately switched on.

The official block explorer is back up and running: http://explorer.darkcoin.io/chain/DarkCoin. Additionally, it is now mirrored here: http://explorer.darkcoin.qa. In order to free up time for Evan, Flare is now maintaining the official explorer. Please direct inquiries either to him or me...

You're taking about target audience analysis. Yes, I am very aware of the need for it. No, I haven't formally structured anything in that regard quite yet. There is a lot of work to be done on several fronts. That is only one of them. Right now, for lack of a better word, I'm in a triage...

Hmm. What is your background, LittleFinger (if you don't mind my asking)? Darkcoin is a development project, yes, and if that were all it was I would agree with you. In standard product development, you'd never see this sort of thing. It's not necessary and it can actually be...

Lol thanks - I was a little confused about something Propulsion was doing last night - now it seems pretty obvious my brain was malfunctioning :grin:.

Yes. Evan decided he wanted to scrap the RC3 enforcement mechanism in favor of something that did the same thing in a simpler manner. The choices that left were: Implement RC3 enforcement in its current form and risk breaking the network again Write new code to black list blocks from...
