It would be nice if a dev of DRK could explain that or at least a DRK user. Why exactly is it closed source? When will this be changed? Why should one trust DRK?
Guys, all the info can be found on darkcointalk.org. Stuff is already working on the testnet. Everything apart from the darksend functionality is open-source already. It will be open-source once it's fully functional on mainnet and there was a full audit.
Suspecting mining to be tampered with is ridiculous. There are open-source miners available and they work as expected. You can look it up on the blockchain anyway.
DarkSend being closed-source is a HUGE problem to anyone holding DRK.
How does one know that the devs aren't double spending their stash or just adding to their total stash and selling them?
If it is closed source this is then possible.
Hence why such a pump could happen.
Having a public-ledger that bitcoin and litecoin has is important to verify where coins came from. Otherwise what is the point of anonymity? Anyone can just send coins and then claim they never sent them to sell on an exchange? lol...how retarded is that?
