Uh, yes it would, as most users arent coders at all? Darknet thug buyers and sellers dont know the technology behind it, they were taught the simplest way with bitcoin by their nerd buddy who happens to be smart enough to know how to transact safely without losing it all.
you arent coding a new coin... all you need is a wallet and that's simple. if you can configure tor you know something(basics at least).
and if a friend of yours run your "business", well, your friend is probably managing btc for you and can do the same with xmr.... you are failing to see the diference between the drug dealer from your street to a DNM drug dealer.
