This is your problem:

in less than 8 hours, almost 5% of the Darkcoins that ever will be created spawned in that 1/3 of a day.

It's safe to say Darkcoin has left its investors in the dark on this one.

Some of us nobodies were there, you jealous?

I'm not jealous because I've never been impressed with obfuscation-based mixing/shuffling/tumbling schemes.  They can all be unraveled, especially if trusted third parties like Masternodes are involved.

I'm only interested in trust-free solutions using implementations of zero knowledge proofs and homomorphic functions, such as Monero's ring signatures.

Dash's HYIPy proof-of-stake is another no-go for me, as is its shady instamine and botched launch/emission.

Changing brands is one thing, changing mission statements is another.  This coin has been relaunched more times than the iPhone!

It is fraud to sell Darkcoins based on the promise of privacy, and then suddenly switch to trying to be yet another retail payment rail like Dash.  And then there is this latest "Evolution" gimmick, trying to hop on the popular intelli-hashing Turing-complete smart-chain bandwagon as yet another Ethereum wanna-be.

This project has no solid core.  'Dash' is a verb, not a noun, because it IS only whatever eduffield DOES, nothing more.

Hence the problematic Bus Factor of 1.  If eduffield quits, is arrested for fraud, or hit by a bus, this thing is over.  That makes it a hobbyist's pet project, not a real contender for e-cash.
