"DarkCoin seems to be bitcoin fork with a multi-hash PoW and a p2p CoinJoin impl.  DarkWallet does the same thing with BTC?"

I invited him to join the discussion (still trembling)…

@eduffield - perhaps you should connect with him…



who is Adam Back?  Grin  Cheesy Grin Cheesy

Silly bone is tickling again

Seriously, I assume someone important in the crypto world?  Can you enlighten me?

I guess... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Back

From Satoshi's paper:

"References

A. Back, "Hashcash - a denial of service counter-measure,"
http://www.hashcash.org/papers/hashcash.pdf, 2002."


Basically he invented the proof-of-work system that crypto uses

The interview on Let's Talk Bitcoin was fascinating:

Would be such a major coup to get him imterested/talking/thinking about Darkcoin…
WOW!

So will somebody enlighten him further about Darksend vs Darkwallet or perhaps he'll accept my invite to join the talk… eduff? Smiley
