Firstly, apologies for causing distress. I am new to forums. I should not have framed my position using antagonistic language.

I have no vested interest. As a trader I am also a newb. Darkcoin was my first love, I then made the age old mistake of going all in on asiacoin, hence ac2.

I have learnt the value of community.

What I should have posted...

Hi there Dark community. I like what you are creating.

Have you considered ring signitures?

Maybe you have spent a lot of time on a good solution, but not the best?

Now that you have a large market share and recognizible branding, perhaps you could combine methods (collateral payments vs encrypted packets of info) rather than compete?

Hello community
