We've made some massive progress on the DS side and the next version will support network wide anonymity, that doesn't obscure UTXO like cryptonote, is instantaneous, has no bload, has blinding and other identity protection built in. We won't require a name anymore for the service, because it's not a service, Dash will just be anonymous by default.
i can work with that...

If it's true. Very few people take Evan at his word and that's not by "accident".
Bullshit, only the competitors of Dash (mainly Monero) dont trust anything related to Evan or Dash
(not even Dash's technical accomplishments are regnoniced, with exception of smooth perhaps).
The Dash community, which has a very large community, has full confidents in Evan. Not just at taking his word
about certain matters, but also by observing the output of code that is added in Github constantly and previous provided the roadmaps
which got presented to the community and which got all checkpoints reached.
Calm down--there isn't a koolaid shortage. At least not one I'm aware of.
