sorry i do not understand ?
I meant the communication. I wish someone could help to improve the communication between Evan to the devs and to the rest of us. I understand nobody is perfect but you know what I mean. You also ran into this problem of not knowing what's going on and you're the PR guy. How can we get this improved is what I'm saying. Has anyone ever thought of how to improve this?
sure moli

I completely agree this is underway. I personally trust the team and how they are handling this. I just felt that the misconceptions needed to be aired out in public because I have personally interested with multiple people who still feel like Evan and others on the core team (foundation board) had something to do with his departure. It seems to have been answered before to an extent and I am comfortable with that answer and how things went down. I have talked to multiple long time community members and they are avoiding the forum because of responses like the one you have given which is basically "nothing is wrong. Things will be fixed. Vertoe leaving I'd no big deal".
Thanks Minotaur.
there is NOTHING else to it !
Excellent points! As much as people like to ignore it out of comfort, relavancy is needed to survive as a cryptocoin.I blew out my back this morning, so I'm behind (feeling lots better now) Anyway, Minotaur has made such eloquent arguments today as to why this needs to happen, I just want to say, it's like he took the thoughts out of my brain
I just want to say one more thing, more as a double down point. From the VERY beginning of the creation of Darkcoin, Evan said it wasn't meant for the dark markets and that was not his intention. He had to start saying that pretty much ever since changing the name from Xcoin, to Darkcoin and the name Darkcoin has haunted the project ever since. The name has indeed cubbyholed Darkcoin into a perceived niche market. But Evan created Darkcoin to fix problems with Bitcoin that he didn't see ever getting fixed. Imagine how he feels seeing his project that is 1. limited to dark markets and 2. in a direction he never intended.
Even so Evan has committed 2 years to this project, and I suspect he'll continue on for the 2 years in some capacity if he had to fulfill his obligations, I doubt he'd put his heart and soul into it if he felt the project couldn't and wouldn't ever see the light of day for the public he intended to help. He had an important vision. Create a currency that is fully fungible, like cash, so that all coins are created and stay equal. You can already see how Bitcoin is not being accepted at Coinbase because they can tell it comes from gambling sites. This is unacceptable. This in itself ruins Bitcoin. If cryptocurrency is ever to survive, it must be fungible. Now with instantX, we can have a cryptcurrency that bypasses all the banking industry completely. You can buy your gasoline! Your fast food! Your groceries! saving merchants at least 3% on all sales. Talk about knocking the banks out of business! It can be the ultimate equalizer.
But not with the name Darkcoin.
So why should Evan continue with all his efforts if there is no chance of the project going mainstream? I suggest we'll have Evan many years into the future as long as the project is relevant. We'll lose him if it isn't and sooner than his presence will suggest.

I don't like to be arrogant and I wish Evan and everybody stop saying you want to challenge bitcoin, this is a mistake by making enemies when your coi/project isn't finished. So please just stop being arrogant if you want to succeed.Here are some news from today
just to loosen this up a bit !
"The Bitcoin community needs to keep an eye on the rearview mirror because while everyone is bickering over what Bitcoin should be, the Darkcoin team is actually innovating and stability along with confidence in their Blockchain is slowly growing."

I am off, i have some 'DRK work' to do
(i still have pills
Good points. In the end, only the involved parties should be handling this and vertoe hasn't come back in defense of why he left or his specific complaints publicly so speculation isn't going to help anyone. Thanks for the perspective tungfa
Hold on let me call Tone:
Yah, it's ok if your intentions were to provide for a niche market. But I know Evan never wanted to provide, especially for that niche market. Though like cash, he can't control where his coin is used, but he wanted to create something for the world. Sure it's a grand plan, maybe it will be impossible, but take the possibility out just because of the name is .... well it's stupid.
That was an outside article. We can't keep other people in the media from coming up with their own conclusions. I happen to agree with the conclusion.... but I didn't write it
Just for the fun of it, I also like this one. Is good to see we have many options to work with.
Exactly, I'm all for name change but its madness to choose a name thats so open legal attacks, everything else has been unique for Darkcoin and now we want to copy someone else's name and get lawyers involved.
