No matter how you twist and turn it, Darkcoin, Dish, Dash, Darkash or whatever, payment processors will always stay away from this coin, because they don't want to deal with the aforementioned bullshit.
You might be right but I doubt it.
I think the name is far more of an issue than the nature of the network.
For a start, as far as most legistlators are concerned, Bitcoin is an anonymous payments system. Ok, you can trace the flow from one address to the next (you can in Darkcoin as well) but there's no legal, identifiable entity associated with those addresses the way there is with a bank account. That's what they're worried about, not anonymous blockchains. I don't think they give a sh*t whether a blockchain is anonymous or not.
They DO however give a sh*t about a name like Darkcoin because it has a direct association with the dark web and dark markets. For politicians, media, legislators and even exchanges - thats toxic whatever way you roll it.
We can always say "stuff them", they're full of BS and we don't care. Fine. But don't start expecting us to get to Litecoin's market cap and level of liquidity or asking the team to get it adopted here there and everywhere etc etc.
