So DarkCoin is based on CoinJoin, a technology developed for Bitcoin as a response to ZeroCoin/ZeroCash.
So this alternative coin has taken CoinJoin and is now taking off as it's own CryptoCurrency.
http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/DarkcoinWhitepaper.pdfMany "speculators" believe that the Bitcoin core will never have CoinJoin implemented allowing for a huge chunk of the future market to be taken by this new coin.
Why is that? Do the Bitcoin core developers have an aversion to this technology?
I was very hopeful because of CoinJoin but it seems that it's now taboo in Bitcoin circles. We need this private transaction feature in the core client yesterday.
I find it funny that all the cutting edge tech some Bitcoin developers are making (CoinJoin) are not going to be implemented into the core and are just left on a silver platter for our competitors.
How does this make sense? Is there a technical reason that makes CoinJoin flawed? Or is it to appease uncle sam?
