bitshares will survive because of useful  for people. Better than other coin will not let us survive. Only when adopted by real businesses, we will succeed.

Does anyone have a clue how InstantX is supposed to work?
Paper here: https://www.darkcoin.io/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/InstantTX.pdf
I think they get the idea from nxt instantDEX. With this tech, exchanges can be made immediately, not have to wait the block time.
Nxt instantDEX has run more than half a year ( i have forgotten when it exactly be launched)

The last time I talked to the people of Darkcoin, which wasn't too long ago, they said their technology actually only made transactions instant in test nets.  The transaction speeds at large scale were actually closer to 20-30 seconds, which still would make BitShares technologically a cut above them. 

Of course i'm not an engineer so I will leave it up to them to let me know just how correct this is.

No, because BitShares will skyrocket soon and leave Darkcoin behind forever.  8)  lol

My strategy has been buy a coin just before Max Keiser starts to talk about it on TV :) I'm sure if Bytesmaster would ask to be on the show with Max Keiser, it would boost BTS, and Max has a new coin to talk about - win win

yup guess so

FWIW, he re-posted an article about BitShares on his blog back in November.

So at this time of the night i like to brainstorm, specially when i cant sleep eheh

It seems -from the few ppl sharing their opinion about it here- that sdc is prefered over darkcoin. And.ive noticed people here would like to see anonymous transactions. Also, at the same time, there seems to be a lack of funds on the sdc community, or at least it seemed so when they tried to raise the 5 btc to get a review on their code. So why not reaching out to them and helping them implement DPOS? They're already PS. Theyy could be a sidechain of bitshares or simply let them be independent, "shadowcash, powered by bitsares" then maybe later in the future they could help us go anonymous or develop an extension to add to our client. Either way, it would be a win-win situation. A far fetched one but a cool one. We would stand out as a brand and possibly get future new features, they would  get the funding they need so they can continue developing freely and both would get more recognition. It would definitely make some headlines on the crypto world :) its far fetched maybe but its just something i.would like to share. If somehow that happened, maybe other projects would like to be "powered by BitShares"

Cryptocurrencies dont actually have uptrends.

They have spikes that happen in a very short period of time (usually days).  A spike occurs when some news event or pump happens, which sucks in a bunch of hot money from other coins.   The spike is followed by a long downtrend where the coin bleeds value for months.

A good strategy in crypto is probably to have a bit of a lot of different coins.  Any time a coin has a spike, sell all of it (wait for momentum to stall like has now happened in DRK, then sell).  Redistribute the money into coins that have been in very long downtrends.  Wait until this coin has bled down a long way before you get back in.  Repeat.

never know when u miss the big move imagine all those selling bitcoin at 0.50 because it spiked what they feel now

The lead developer mentions here that their development team is the second largest just behind Bitcoin

Sounds impossible given how many people work for Ripple.

I'd rather sell DRK for BitUSD

This is what Bitshares needs, a video of Bytemaster with a Russian translator or Chinese :) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1Pk-oKSGwg
