Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW, Darksend and InstantX
One crazy idea for you guys.
We all know that the main vulnerability of Bitcoins, which prevents it from becoming full-fledged money - the lack of fungibility of coins. Fungibility of Bitcoins is spoiled by the fact that each amount contains previous history of operations. And a bad "history-legacy" can be used as a factor of discrimination in the subsequent use of coins (So we can talk about "clean" bitcoins vs "dirty" bitcoins).
For example, if you recive coins that were previously stolen, passed through darkmarkets etc. - They in some sense are "corrupted" and you may have problems with their further usage.
Dash resolves that vulnerability - darksend mechanism are used to anonymize - clean up the history of previous operations for your DASH. As a result DASH becomes real fungible digital cash (money).
So why do not we call processes of anonymization - just a "Cleaning"!
It sounds simple, understandable and not as "criminal" as "Anonymization".
Thus users will have in their wallets:
1. Standard Dash
2. Cleaned Dash
3. And "To Clean" button.
Even your grandmother would understand this principle and do not have to explain for everybody what is "Anonymization", "Mixing", "Darksend", ... and why is it necessary for ordinary people.
"KISS" principle in action - because we need an acceptance of ordinary people.
What do you think about it? Please discuss there: https://dashtalk.org/threads/the-rolling-thread.4536/page-4#post-50784

In thinking about the fungibility issue the first thought that comes to mind for an alternative to darksend is "fungicide," but strictly speaking that implies "fungability killer." Maybe something like Anti-fungicide, but that lacks something as well. Fungifier maybe, or refungifier?
OK--never mind...
In any event, it is clear that Bitcoin has a problem with fungicide, and we have the solution.
