This is going to keep being a problem for Darkcoin and represents a massive roadblock for Darkcoin going mainstream until the Dev just goes ahead and fixes it.
Look, Evan said this coin is now set in stone. Nothing is going to change except features of the coin. There will be no airdrop, a very stupid suggestion that would kill darkcoin.
I suggest in big letters, there be a link to the "story of darkcoin, please read before investing"
If you don't like it, don't invest.
Not only is there NO way this can be "fixed" it arguably was a good thing for coin distribution.
