Hi,

As promised, I'm currently working on an infographic and other promo materials.



This is the first draft. Constructive criticisms please. I used the reference given here for DarkSend.

I only have 0.83 DRK!

1. You should add the max coins in somewhere: Est. ~7M Coins in 2015, ~13M in 2020, ~23M in 2030 (84M theoretical max).
2. The way darksend works is incorrect. Checkout my diagram http://i.imgur.com/XMwyU74.png

Firstly AWESOME work!!  It's nice to have a one stop shop graphic for people to see how it works and it's advantages.

1) Totally agreee with eduffield and others, how long it will take to get to the 84M / estimated coins per year, we don't want people thinking there will be 84M coins in 2-3 years.
2) When talking about how Bitcoin is not anonymous and the transactions traceable.  I think it's VERY much worth pointing out how for example, if you bought a beer in a bar with bitcoin, essentially the bar tender, or anyone else, now that they have your wallet, they can look inside your wallet, and see how much money you have.  This is Key.  A lot of people don't know that, and it will freak a lot of people out.  With Darksend, people can't do that.
3)  To echo other people.  30% cooler and more energy efficient that mining scrypt is a huge bonus also. More eco friendly, and saves miners money!  I know I sure appreciate only pulling 500W at the wall, rather than 800-1000w I was pulling before.

Thanks again for your work! I'll send some coins your way.
