Poor old Licey. If he's not sycophantically quoting Peter Todd for the 1000th time he's trying to get other XMR bag-holding circle-jerkers to play 'ignore-the-attacker'. He knows XMR is _losing_ and DASH is _winning_ - just look at the market cap that's always beaten the royal SHIT out of XMR and always will. Well, until XMR fades to black along with the handful of deluded fools on here who give any two shits about it. What then Licey, what then?

Oooh instamine. Say something original and interesting. Go on I dare you.

Your pump and dump dance would probably be more effective if you were less transparently dishonest in your approach.

CoinJoin is trustless— which is orthogonal with centralized or decentralized, it could be implemented several ways (though trustlessness is usually a prerequisite to a decenteralized implementation). Post 5 in the CoinJoin thread writes in depth about implementing it in a decenteralized way, none of which appears to have been implemented by the darkcoin developers as far as I can tell— from what I've heard it seems that they're not even able to understand it. (This is a disappointment to me, since I was trying to describe these ideas clearly so others could understand them.)

More amusingly, what DarkCoin does is highly centralized because the software is closed— you can't get more centralized than closed source. What the actual behavior is, is anyone's guess— it's impossible to review due to it being closed— though "masternodes" does not sound like something decenteralized, it sounds like something that creates a small chokepoint which could be used to deanonymize its users, like a server based CoinJoin but worse since you have to hold a huge pile of coins to run a server.

From what I can tell the only purpose DarkCoin serves is to depress me about the state of humanity.
