 * Keep. Significant coverage in a multiple reliable sources establishes notability. I'm listing some recent stories from news.google.com; some sources are a bit sketchy, but most are solid. As an aside, if I knew how to nominate User:Citation Needed for deletion, I would; AfD discussions like these are spurious wastes of time. Nominators should go through the AfD guidelines' checklist at WP:BEFORE before nominating articles for deletion, which require at least a cursory check for notability, which this nominator seems to routinely ignore.

 * Keep. Why hasn't this request for deletion been closed yet? The article is clearly well referenced. Darkcoin is now constantly in the top four crypto-currencies by market capitalization since mid-May. I request, Argyll, that you do basic research into the subject matter before flagging articles up for deletion that are obviously in the public interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.53.32.133 (talk) 16:21, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Deletion discussions generally remain open for at least seven days, to allow time for time for people to respond. I didn't nominate the article for deletion; my vote above was to keep it. Agyle (talk) 22:06, 9 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Agyle's good reference finds in reliable sources like Wired and WSJ demonstrate notability of the coin. --Mark viking (talk) 15:50, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
