Well maybe it was found tot to be fully anonymous so he felt it was better to change to a name that was more clearnet then darknet.
Prolly not the case though.
Or maybe they had realized after working with a lot of businesses in the past year that a name like Darkcoin or ShadowCoin for example will never get any real adoption.  well it's a good thing its not shadowcoin, its shadowcash. And my comment was more meant as a joke. |

SO what happened with Evil-Knievel? Does he have something or not re DarkSend de-anonymization?
Has anything come from this besides a power struggle between anon coins?

You've hit the nail on the head there. I think there has been three or so people claiming to do this (same guy?) but nothing every materialises... |

Nothing has come yet, but then again, he did post on friday, and if he is actively developing something, I'm sure it takes time. |

I have drk myself so enjoy these posts discussing the tech, the trolling...not so much. |

If the re-branding is going to coincide with a shift away from anonymity I think the DASH dev knows something we don't, perhaps some flaw not yet disclosed to general public was discovered which is so fatal to anonymity that only re-purposing and re-braning the whole project makes sense.

This sounds likely to me. The one thing DarkCoin had going for it was that it was faux-anonymous. |

Nothing has come yet, but then again, he did post on friday, and if he is actively developing something, I'm sure it takes time. He has a reputation for creating drama with grand claims. He's done it before with Bitcoin. Although in general I'd expect any mixing based anonymity to be traceable by a sufficiently motivated attacker. So I wouldn't be surprised if his claims are true. But I don't think he's ever followed through on one of these types of threads. |

Even with this, the new name resembles a lot Dashcoin's name.
And this matters, why exactly? I haven't even heard of Dashcoin until today/yesterday. Wwll, this matters if you want to use an original name. And sometimes using a name which is already in use by another can cause some confusion. For example, there are 2 coins with the name Paycoin. When the second Paycoin was launched by GAW, some people confused it with the original Paycoin and caused a little spike on its volume and price. |

I couldn't figure out why Duff would buy a perfectly good coin, with proven state-of-the-art Cryptonote anon, only to ruin it with shitty trusted 3rd party Masternodes. Now I'm thinking the DASH rebranding is an attempt to escape Darkcoin's widespread reputation for being an instamined scam with questionable, frequently-broken crypto. |

Actually the reason is that it's easier to approach a merchant or a business and ask if they'd like to accept "DASH" than "Darkcoin", because whether we like it or not, people will associate anything "dark" with illicit activities. |

That's very true. But it raises some questions. Darkcoin initially marketed to and found success with supporters of "dark" activities/markets, so isn't it tremendously unfair to them that the coins they purchased/mined have been suddenly rebranded to a generic squeaky-clean detergent name? From a technical point of view DASH's changes are INCOMPATIBLE with the Darkcoin code/blockchain, so should we expect a chain swap or are we looking at a fresh start, with a possible new premine/instamine?? |

Officially Darkcoin was never marketed to dark markets or for criminal activities. Evan Duffield was very clear on that. The wallet even had (dunno if it still has) a dialog that popped up on the first launch that made the user agree that he would not use it for anything illegal. Eager fans obviously tried to market it to anyone and everywhere, but the official policy was to steer away from that. Dashcoin (the Bytecoin clone) will stay the way it is, and Darkcoin will just change its name to DASH. |
