Darkcoin has potential in the following areas:
1. It has a reponsive community (including the developers).
2. Anonymisation.
3. It is currently limited to CPU and GPU mining (if that changes I hope the developers update the hash algorithm (an example is feather coin).
If these areas continue...
I have a specific question with regards to mining using the darkcoin-qt or darkcoind client as opposed to an external client such as minerd.
Has anyone used the darkcoin-qt or darkcoind client with the gen=1 in darkcoin.conf?
And was it able to mine successfully regardless of its efficiency?
