I like the features this coin offers but the name...
No coin will ever become mainstream with the name "darkcoin/blackcoin", sorry, it's just not happening, regardless of new features. No way, 0% chance.
OMG! I just realized you are right!
I'm going back to mining tittie coin, that is much better!
Seriously, it seems naive to pick a single aspect of anything and point to it as the sole cause or determiner of everything. Darkcoin could be just as mainstream as anything else - sure, it's not a name the evokes rainbows and sunshine, but it's not a breakfast cereal for kids.
It's a perfectly fine name, it's a slightly ironic counterpoint to Litecoin, and it's a two-syllable work with a repeating consonant sound in the middle. You don't get much easier than that.
There are plenty of people working on logos, etc that all say Darkcoin. I appreciate your opinion, but I think you are far overstating the potential impact of the name "Darkcoin". Really, the overall effect might better be described as "Some people might get the wrong impression."
