By Leave a Comment

The DRK developers released Darkcoin Core V0.11.0 yesterday afternoon, which brings a lot of changes to DarkSend, as well as some security fixes and other things. Many people have been eagerly waiting for this release, which has been 2 months in the making and combines the work of no less than 10 different developers.

Darkcoin Core V0.11.0 is forked from Bitcoin 0.9.3 in order to take advantage of nearly 2 years of development committed to the Bitcoin core client. This is a long awaited change, as all previous client versions have been based on Litecoin. However,a s there are no developmental changes going on there, nor will there be any in the near future, it seems like a good decision to switch to Bitcoin core.  Read more...

Darkcoin developer Evan Duffield is one of the most ingenious developers the world of cryptocurrency and altcoins has ever seen.

By Leave a Comment

Looks like big news has been released today, as the Darkcoin developer Evan Duffield proposed to merge DRK with ShadowCash (SDC). As both coins are working towards the same goal, proposing a merger is not as outrageous as one might think. Unfortunately, ShadowCash rejected the offer. Oh what a horrible day! Although, come to think of it, today is not September 24th 2014 is it?

Original Merger Proposal Date

Before we go any further into detail about what the merger offer between Darkcoin and ShadowCash is all about, a major correction needs to be made. Everyone seems to assume this merger was offered over the past 24 hours, which is absolutely false.  Read more...
