I'll be speaking at the Cryptocurrency Convention on Apr 9th in NewYork, detailing how DarkSend works and promoting DarkCoin. If anyone will be in NewYork at that time I'd love to meet you!

THIS is the type of "marketing" this coin needs.
Edu, can you talk any about what type of testing (beyond this community doing some DS transactions) you are doing? It's been mentioned before to try to let some "white-hat" types take a hammer to it... anything like that? To me, i'd like some sort of 3rd party endorsement on the anonymous transactions.
There were a few people that came into the forums and said that it wasn't anonymous and could break it, I'll reach out to them and see if they're up for taking a look at it.
This would be great to have for marketing purposes.
Also, I was thinking you could institute a 2% fee for your mining pool that would go towards bounties for the DarkCoin Foundation. This would give miners a chance to contribute to the growth and prosperity of the coin.
What do they think they can "break"? It's in open beta, I can't see how they can figure out who sent what to whom? Is anyone trying the Beta? I have, but I suspect only a handful of people have been willing to?
I guess if Eduffield needed more people on it, he'd have said so. Then again, I remember reading some family thing came up, so I suspect he's been away the last 2 days or so.
But I'm telling your, it's just talk.
