Hey everyone,
Pleased to be here and be part of the dev team! Been wanting to get on board for a while, and yesterday's network difficulties finally made it official. Like many of you, I'm sitting on a little pile of DRK of my own and want to do anything I can to make our coin flourish and prosper.
IMO, the market wildly over-reacted yesterday. People were panicking and trying to dump DRK. I saw some people exclaiming "Oh no! <insert exchange> disabled deposit so I can't sell my <less than $100 worth> DRK!". You would've thought the sky was falling. And yet what we saw yesterday was actually progress. We experienced a glitch and some minor forking, we know what caused it and we're going to fix it. That being said, I think Red-Shionobi does have a point. We should probably change the way we deal with major updates and rebrand them as something other than an "epic masternode launch". When the public is expecting an "epic masternode launch" and there is a bug, it's viewed as a failure by the dev team rather than progress in developing a brand-new, cutting-edge technology. And then we see panics and flash crashes like yesterday. That being said, I think just renaming it something like a "public network test" would work wonders in the PR and investor relations departments...
Anyway... Preparing myself for a marathon session to dig deep into the Darkcoin source. Got a lot of catching up to do and a lot of old rust to scrape off...
@ Evan:
Sorry I passed out on you yesterday, bro! I had been awake over 24hrs and after I ate dinner it was lights out, haha
Regards,
The DRK Lord
