I make no bones about it. I have a long term interest in DRK, and plan to use it widly as more and more services pop up. Im offering a bounty to any darkmarket that adds DRK as one of the available payment options.
How much is each bounty? Actually I have quite a few dark. I think the best way to approach it, is to simply message me so we can work out a deal.
Great things have been said about DRK, as well as bad. Most of the bad is just bullshit FUD. The fact is, eventually, using DRK will be the equivalent of having an offshore bank account, or a numbered bank account.
So if you want to give it a shot, and earn a bounty while doing so, contact me and I am sure we can come to some sort of an agreement. Even if its simply on a trial basis.
All information discussed will be kept with the utmost discretion.
I would appreciate it if the mods of this subreddit remain neutral pertaining to this post, and allowed it to stay visible.
EDIT: 2014-7-7 06:31:32 I have decided to put my money where my mouth is. I have taken a percentage of my Darkcoins and decided to apply it to this bounty in the following denominations.
* 1st Dark Market to add Darkcoin as a payment option will receive: 800DRK
* 2nd Dark Market to add Darkcoin as a payment option will receive: 400DRK
* 3rd Dark Market to add Darkcoin as a payment option will receive: 200DRK
In the spirit of allowing the market operators to test on a trial basis, Market must only keep Darkcoin as a payment option for a minimum of 30 days. After this 30 day period, the bounty can be collected and the operator can then choose to either keep it or remove it as a payment option.
Operators must state in this post that they have added Darkcoin as a payment option, and also provide a link so that I can randomly check the market on a weekly basis, to ensure Darkcoin is indeed a payment option.
Operators can bow out anytime. If for some reason, market operators incorporate Darkcoin payments and decide they do not want to continue to use it before that 30 trial period has expired, they can simply pull their market from being able to redeem the bounty.
Must be an active Darknet Market. No clearnet sites. Must have already existed at the time of this post. No newly created Darknet Markets are eligible. However if you would still like to be considered, simply message me, and I will check it out. I reserve the right to allow newly created market to enter the bounty. Bounties are handed out on a first come first serve basis.
Must not have had Darkcoin as a payment option prior to this post. The goal is to spread Darkcoin adoption so it would be counter productive to allow this.
First to 30 days of continuous Darkmarket adoption takes the top bounty, 2nd takes the 2nd bounty etc etc.
I have moved the bounties to this address, where it will remain until its time to give each individual bounty.

I have been asked to pull this bounty, as it may not reflect so well, and to allow DRK time to fully mature before revisiting. I have many coins, and feel like giving some away in order to help further my community. I will either think of a new bounty, or hold the 1400DRK I have set aside for this an repost this bounty at a time which would benefit my community the most. I thought by taking some initiative, we could show that DRK has awesome devs who work night and day, who have vision and are willing to take chances, and that our community is full of individuals who really want to tackle some of the issues we may face down the road in regards to cryptocurrency.
Update: 7/8/2014 We are going to hold off until they open source the Darksend portion. I have talked with many Market owners, and this is their biggest concern. They understand that there is probably nothing nefarious with the devs intentions, they just want to be sure.
Have they implemented Darksend? I've read that it's no better than BTC without that function.
BTW, why not Monerocoin or Bytecoin? Those are untraceable from the beginning.
