The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

The coinjoin category Supercoin is the best, with multisig trustless tech. I don't think DRK is good in anyway, just hype. |

Well that's just an ignorant statement. Stop reading and spreading nonsense. How about you go there and try it out yourself. DarkSend+ works. The anonymity is there and is proven. As for planned features, they are just planned for now, the same goes for the features that XMR 'is going to have in store'. |

I did not say it is not working, I said it has an old centralized mixer system, there are better technologies out there today, for example trustless multisg system implemented by supercoin. This is not non-sense, stop promo and hype and look at the technologies and facts! |

So you're saying why use something good when there could be something better out there? Why buy an S5 now when in 10 years we you could have an S15? I'm not going to comment what is better and what isn't. Darksend is constantly being improved. Even if it has an 'old system', it was and will be improved. Ring signatures are great too (XMR), that doesn't mean that DRK is not anonymous, or "anonymous enough". anon needs more attention. it doesn't need my anon is better than yours. they are all better than 99% of the alt-coins out there.
This guy is right. The coin X is better than coin Z nonsense has to stop at some point. You don't even realize what could be created if all these developers were on the same project. |

The arguments about which anon coin is best are really pointless. The model is not going anywhere. It's not needed by the mainstream, and to go somewhere, it needs mainstram adoption.
BTC is a pile of crap, but it has that mainstream appeal, and even has a body (self-appointed) making waves for it and spreading propaganda in the mainstream media.
DRK was a good coin, better than the majority, but its days are numbered before it joins the likes of XPM as a respectable episode in crypto history.

No it won't. We'll at least not significantly.
Sorry to have to say it, but LTC is the only sustainable and viable aLTCoin out there.

I agree, I think DRK doesnt have much else to offer considering it is a Bitcoin fork with privacy features, I think it has had it's reign but there are many anon currencies working hard to take it's place. Whether XMR will take it's place only time will tell but there are many eyes on Monero. "Darkcoin" sounds a bit childish to me but "Monero" has some clever marketing behind it. Whether you're english, spanish, french, asian etc. the word "Monero" sounds native in almost every language. "Darkcoin" is like MySpace "Monero" is like Facebook |

CryptoNote is a good tech, multisig is a good tech, p2p anon trustless using multisig is a good tech, central mixer... it's a ok one, but not fit well into the p2p nature of crypto coin, so it's a less good tech. Though I understand it is easy to implement and many coins claiming anon using it, including DRK. Because DRK did not use the best tech, it can't be the leader of the anonymous coin, it was in leading position for some time only because of promo and hype. |

I think xmr and drk can win together. because drk is based on bitcoin, its APIs are the same or very similar. those who run bitcoin can run drk, in place of or alongside. think porn sites adn gambling that now accept bitcoin. once customers start to get scared of being linked to using these services, drk can run alongside very easily, quickly and therefore cheaply. drk using 8 rounds of mixing from within the wallet, that's pretty good tech, imho xmr is different tech. those that don't like bitcoin, they can run xmr. there are plenty of takers. |

So is this domain ruled by DRK and Monero. Are there any other coins with special anon features?

Cryptonote is taking over for now. DRK anon feature is also good and It will rise slowly over time.

I don't think it will myself. Coins have a pretty short lifespan now and Darkcoin had a very good, long run. Once a coin declines off of its initial pump, most of the time it never returns to those highs. The problem is that there are just too many choices coming onto the market and nobody has the patience to sit with a coin for a really long time - they just dump it and move on to something else and interest in the coin gradually declines.

Well if you want to be as black and white as that, then I'd say xmr doesn't have a chance while the world adopts bitcoin. as I stated, drk has bitcoin api's and is based on bitcoin. but, like i have already said, i think they can both win and both find a place for themselves. |
