sure, but as discussed above this is because nobody is using Darksend.....if they were, at which point you can reasonably stand DRK alongside other anon coins, then the bloat would be there.
people bash XMR because it will bloat with real-world anon use, but so will DRK, it just isn't now because it isn't being used for real-world anon.
am i missing something?
Nobody is really using Monero either yet, if it becomes 'mainstream' that bloat will be even more then it is currently. Ifs buts and mayhaps are a bad way to attempt to put your point across.
