Regarding AnonyMint's comments:

Evan has a solution for any potential scalability issues we may encounter, even at very high mixing depths.  I've been having some family issues (and there was a huge freaking wildfire by me - yikes) and haven't been able to follow the threads as well as I'd like in the last week or 2, so I'm not yet sure if he's mentioned it publicly.

No he hasn't, please speak with him to find out if he wants it to be made public or not.

anonymity + accountable transaction.

Wallet shows real payee, not middle address.

I think next will be so called stealth address for merchant and donations.

Could you elaborate are you referring to DRK?

Solely DRK.

anonymization phase and transactions phase are separated.

No need special S/W for accounting.

I think anonymity for sender/payer is almost completed.

Now anonymity for payee is remain.

DRK has normal transaction. So adopt other tech or develop by Evan's way.

But how could a merchant or donation address be public yet remain anonymous? Is there some special new feature for this on the roadmap?

Edit: never mind. Just looked up stealth addresses. Would be very cool if this is on the DRK roadmap!

It would be very cool and seeing as how Vertcoin has it implemented and (I believe) open-source, it could be something to potentially add-in in the future.

The world has already adopted another coin.  It's called Bitcoin.

But how could a merchant or donation address be public yet remain anonymous? Is there some special new feature for this on the roadmap?

It doesn't matter.  Mainstream merchants are not going to adopt Darkcoin.  They will however continue to adopt Bitcoin.

Darkcoin will only be used for P2P transactions and purchasing from underground nefarious websites similar to the now defunct Silk Road.  So unless you're buying illegal drugs off the internet there will not be many places to actually spend Darkcoin.

If it's used for P2P transactions you'll still have to declare and pay capital gains taxes if you convert to fiat.  At least in the United States.

I don't think you've got any more idea than the next person about how anonymous networks will feature in a future cryptoeconomy.

Who are you??

Welcome back!

[coins101]

drk is just a coin like any of the other thousands of coins

Really?

Why do people get so upset when their personal and financial details get exposed? Are they just paranoid?

Why are there regulations and laws to protect personal and financial details? Just politicians bored with nothing better to do?

[coins101]

Then, why are there privacy laws?

Have no doubt, the lack of privacy in crypto will become a regulatory issue once regulations catch-up and catch on.

Mr.  Shojayxt.   Again your so correct.    i certainly based on your advice  have decided to no longer accept Darkcoin at my winery or restaurant and now a few friends are also thinking about not accpeting them either.  Your timely advice haa shown me the error if my ways. Everyone... can we all thank Shojayxt for again... help us morons to know the future. thank you.

[bigrcanada]

Everyone i have the pleasure to introduce to you Mr. Shojayxt...this persons knowledge of cryptos knows no bounds.  You should absolutely take his statements on here as sound and sagely advice and would base your financial future and well being on his profound teachings.  He has taken it upon himself to help all us investment noobs and morons on the dangers of this coin and has saved as all from financial ruin.   I can never find a words enough to thank him Mr.  Shojayxt is a humanitarian.

The new New York regulations, which will likely be adopted by other States once tested and updated, will soon capture online gambling sites that primarily use Bitcoin.

Here is why:

s.200.2

(m) Virtual Currency means any type of digital unit that is used as a medium of exchange or a form of digitally stored value or that is incorporated into payment system technology. Virtual Currency shall be broadly construed to include digital units of exchange that

(i) have a centralized repository or administrator;
(ii) are decentralized and have no centralized repository or administrator; or
(iii) may be created or obtained by computing or manufacturing effort.

Virtual Currency shall not be construed to include digital units that are used solely within online gaming platforms with no market or application outside of those gaming platforms...

Because Bitcoin can be used for other things than online gaming, it becomes a virtual currency. That means it can be captured by the online gaming laws in the USA, Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006.

If you offer online gambling using crypto and a US Citizen uses the services, then the operators of the online crypto gambling site will be arrested unless you get a licence in concert with a physical casino operation that is already regulated.

The lack of privacy in Crypto means that users can be traced and it can easily be proven that overseas gaming sites are allowing US Citizen to gamble. If you run such online gaming sites, those crypto coins you take as profits will follow you around until you set foot on US soil or come under extradition requests.

Here is the thing, given the demographics of the crypto space and the popularity of online gambling, there will be a lot of people caught by these regulations.

Operators around the world will no doubt have their details added to Federal arrest warrants. Users of online gambling, including sports betting and poker, are also potentially at risk of arrest.



Yeah, good luck with that non-anonymous payment option you're using.

Someone took away the 18btc sell wall that was at 0.009. Waiting to see if it appears again.

Most of my statements have more basis in reality than the comments coming from several of the fanboys in this thread.

I would expect a Darkcoin supporter to accept DRK if they happen to own a business if for no other reason than to say they accept it and use it as an argument when someone like me points out that there isn't anywhere to spend DRK.

There are many people that have already posted in this thread that probably wish they would have taken my advice instead of the advice from the fanboys in this thread advising people to but DRK when it was .018.  Looking at how things stand with this coin right now who's advice do you think was correct?  Mine when I said it would go lower or the fanboys advising people to buy?  It's pretty obvious that I was correct so mocking me doesn't make any sense.  I was right and my advice was correct.  That's a fact that can't be denied.

Mr.  Shojayxt.   Again your so correct.    i certainly based on your advice  have decided to no longer accept Darkcoin at my winery or restaurant and now a few friends are also thinking about not accpeting them either.  Your timely advice haa shown me the error if my ways.

There may be quite a few morons posting in this thread but I don't think you're one of them.  I also think you're starting to have doubts about Darkcoin yourself.  Any intelligent person would.

Keep on quoting this. I'm amazed at just how many posts this topic is racking up each day, although most are useless these days (sadly).
