Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation

I don't see an issue with discussing the merits of darkcoin in relation to xmr, as this is a speculation thread and darkcoin's future can play a significant role Monero's adoption/success.

I think smooth's point regarding off-chain/on-chain privacy leads to an important question: if you're going to depend entirely on off-chain privacy, why not just use bitcoin?

Bitcoin plus dark wallet is probably better than DRK, assuming it gets popular enough, and maybe already. For one thing it has stealth addresses and DRK does not.

Stealth addresses are a trivial addition, even for Dark. I'd be more concerned about fee structure and flaws in CS implementation (last I checked that was the route they were going) with Darkwallet.

The point is, its not there. So comparing the two I'd give the edge to Dark Wallet. I'd give the edge to DRK in doing premixing. They're comparable in maturity and stability (not much in either case). Maybe that is close to a tie overall. Huge advantage to DW in operating with BTC though.
