Alex: Really all these CN children's disease will be patched and fixed soon. The coin is as you know new to public.
Evan is also patching/developing to get Dark finished/fixing small bugs because of youg coin age.
CryptoNote-based coins have fundamental issues, like scaling / bloating, usability, compatibility etc etc. As I showed you there are also attack vectors that can render such coins DOA with a few BTCs. This is not funny. Imagine you are an investor, having bought 1000 BTCs worth of MROs and a guy comes in and makes the blockchain unusable for pennies. And you can't prune these transactions because they are intermeshed. And if you make sizable transactions (sizable not in terms of coins, but in terms of KBytes) expensive, then one has to
-either vastly reduce the number of mixing parameters just to keep bloat low
-or pay a very hefty fee for each transaction, that would make the coin unusable or far more expensive than its competitors
Darkcoin doesn't go out to reinvent what Satoshi did. It builds and extends on it, with ways that some agree and others disagree - but the issue here is that it builds upon a proven technology.
IMHO DarkCoin and CN plattform are so different from code base, dev approach, goals & community.
There should be no tension/competition or bashing between these two coins, because there is no reason for this.
They are not interferring each other.
Indeed they aren't. Neither are PoS coins which are inherently broken due to the "nothing at stake" attack.
All people working any kind of coin privacy project should coperate with devs/communitys from other projects.
We all want the same and can learn from each other.
We all want the same but a lot of people do not understand this will be a 1bn USD market in the future... They thus use fud and shitting-on-other-coins techniques to promote themselves, like the market is just for one player where anything else can't fit. It's essential for people's freedoms to have multiple projects that pursue privacy/anonymity so that through competition the projects improve themselves (and also for redundancy reasons if some projects fail). Sure, some will lead the market and some will trail it, but here we have different phenomena in which people suddenly "discovered" anonymity just because they saw DRK rising and are trying to cash in on that.
Most of the running projects right now are either scams or pumps & dumps in the trail of DRK. Some simply issue a whitepaper and their price skyrockets with nothing to show for, and then they crap on DRK for actually having a working anonymous solution for months, distorting the masternode payment issues to fit their cause. And when the code for masternodes is complete, remember that they will rip it and apply it to themselves.
Anyway, the large market players can see right through these stuff, so it's not so relevant in the end of the day...
