Pline: I wouldnt bother with smooth. He refuses to open his mind or wait for the Zeuner review. smooth is entirely convinced he knows best and that will never change. I have even tried learning Esperanto to assist in my communication with him, all to no avail I fear…
at least he tries to explain things - instead of you just throwing buzzwords around and expecting others to explain it for you.
when you dont like their explanation you start crying....
DRK Wallet is a gimmick IMO.
It's a client-side tool that lets you mix incidental amounts, not an institutionalised solution.
at first: thank you for your answer. i really appreciate it.
obviously we have a different opinion, let me explain myself:
It's a product who's existence is motivated by a distaste for authority rather than the need for widespread corporate, personal and commercial privacy at a protocol level.
when i look at the premine i am note sure that its existance is motivated by your claim.
You say you "don't like" masternodes. I don't think it's a question of whether people like them or not, it's a question of what job are they doing and whether that job is justified. Darkcoin is a 2-tier network by design for some very good reasons. One of them is to retain full compatibility with the Bitcoin API, blockchain and commercial infrastructure.
you are right: it doesnt matter if i like them or not.
let me explain why i dont like them:
- they get a huge portion of the mining reward by doing nothing (compared to a miner) imho this will lead to a full pos system or something very insecure.
- there are not enough of them to really make sure they dont get hijacked
- i dont understand what masternodes have to do with bitcoin-api compatibility
Another is to decouple the "anon" development from the core blockchain. This is very important now that Bitcoin has prevailed over the alts in marketcap because the more it gains trust and value, the less people want it "f*cked about with" when they have large holdings.
true, thats the reason why darkcoin can not change their system (same is true for monero) without loosing much confidence.
De-coupling the anon from the core blockchain has allowed Darkcoin to make huge advances while preserving the core value of the monetary asset and not threatning it technologically.
lol?
that doesnt even make sense.. let me rephrase it:
"because we didnt integrate anon in the blockchain we have made huge advances [..]" (btw you had many hardforks in the way - you just call them different; so i dont see anything which could have been a problem because of anon in the chain)
still: there is nothing darkwallet cant adopt.
this is one of the main reasons i use monero: anon inside blockchain, automatically without any intervention (mn in case of drk).
tested and approved by multiple cryptographers.
if i want something like drk i would use btc with mixers or darkwallet.
an anoncoin requires huge trust in his developer/s.
i cant trust eduffield with it, because as far as i know he never worked in cryptograhic before. the same is true for any of your team members:
