I don't like doing my homework and and am not very good with numbers.

Utter nonsense about Dash having bloat, I did these calculations a while back (end of January), others have seen this post before.
Please do check my numbers if you dare.

The stats used are from bitinfocharts:-

        Darkcoin blockchain size = 0.5715 GigaBytes
        Days since genesis block=370 days
        Average Rate of growth for blockchain per day=1.5 MegaBytes/day

        quarkcoin block size = 2.4 GigaBytes
        days since genesis block = 550 days
        average rate of growth for blockchain per day = 4.3 MegaBytes/day

        litecoin blockchain size = 3.99 GigaBytes
        days since genesis block = 1201 days
        average rate of growth for blockchain per day = 3.3 MegaBytes/day

        dogecoin blockchain size = 8.49 GigaBytes
        days since genesis block = 412 days
        average rate of growth for blockchain per day = 20 MegaBytes/day

        bitcoin blockchain size = 34.3 GigaBytes
        days since genesis block = 2205 days
        average rate of growth for blockchain = 15 MegaBytes/day

       Monero blockchain size =3.5 gigabytes
        days since genesis block =303 days
        average rate of growth for blockchain =11.6 megabytes/day


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?


I won't speculate on what would happen if everyone used Darksend because that is not happening right now, so it doesn't make much sense (btw, it is not nobody either, there is a significant amount of darksending going on). However, I don't agree that only if everything is darksend then we can be called anon, the solution is there and people can use it whenever they feel like it, so we are anon. I don't use PGP for my all my email and I hope you won't dare to say that PGP is not a great privacy tool only because I don't encrypt all  the cat pics I send.
