When reading the posts, Fluffypony comes off as someone who is giving both sides of the story simultaneously. Doesn't seem one sided at all to me. It's just that Darkcoin has no attributes and nothing going for it tech wise, so it's getting destroyed that way in conversation. It's like those on the monero team are the 160 IQ nerds and those on the darkcoin team are the half retarded bill boos.

What a silly post.

Nobody from the DRK team has posted AFAIK, so your point is invalid.

Fluffypony is clearly a very smart guy and has made some great contributions to the discussion. However, he was highly critical of Darksend based on a flawed understanding and also made some rather odd claims about masternode security requirements. His core argument around compromising the masternode network was based on gaining control of a number of nodes that he couldn't quantify, meaning he couldn't demonstrate whether such an attack would be practical.

why does it have to be practical ? The only question i would have for myself if it is possible? Why quantity over quality?

because if it's impractical to mount such an attack, it won't be mounted...

Sure but i guess "if" the 3 Letter Agencies really wanted to get an insight, it would not be that impractical anymore to even corrupt/steal/sniff a number of like 10k of MNs, as i guess a large % of MN are hosted in rather easy to access countries DCs. Given the afford and possibilities the NSA alone has... guess thats why other people in this thread were pointing to Snowden
