You've already been shown the maths proving Cryptonote/Monero is secure and private.

There exists no equivalent research for Masternodes, much less the rest of Darkcoin's hodge-podge of borrowed and rebranded crypto tricks.

What DASH is doing is not hyper-complex. The code has been reviewed once by K Atlas, is open source and will no doubt be subject to further review. At no point have I said DASH is perfect or 'mathematically proven' - it's about real-world utility and whether it's fit for purpose.

You refuse to listen when gmaxwell, the inventor of CoinJoin, says Evan's homespun version is flawed.

Well, in the comments posted from him on this thread he was saying there are better approaches, but doesn't say it's broken. I can see he doesn't like DASH though....fair enough.

Trusted 3rd parties are security holes. That is why Bitcoin exists. If you still don't get it, you never will.

Sure, but I don't really see where the trust is. Masternode owners is all anyone says, but there's no clear demonstration of _why_ they are trusted.

lots of stuff about cults

I could take you a lot more seriously if you dropped all this BS, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do...

I have to interject here. Something touting itself as an anonymous crypto currency cannot be fit for purpose if it has not been proven mathematically sound. I believe in this situation the onus is reversed. It is up to DASH to prove the cryptographic functions, mathematics and logic behind its anonymity and privacy are sound and not the other way around.

There is just too much at stake for people who will use it. There are financial, reputational, legal (criminal code) and regulatory risks for consumers using this technology should the anonymity be broken.
