ok FINALLY! someone who isn't just pushing crap around like a dung beetle. this is what i want to talk about!

So as far as i know, there's still money laundering which happens with both the USD and Bitcoin, but since they're both traceable (serial numbers on bank notes, and the blockchain on bitcoin). The argument has been made that as long as there's fiat dollar bills in circulation, you can't fully clamp down on things like crypto, as dollar bills are just as easy to move around. ok, everyone still with me?

I've also read that a bitcoin transaction can ultimately be traced. That some people at gawker bought weed from the silkroad publically, and asked if anyone could trace it. it was hard, but they found someone smart at a university who could ultimately trace the transaction back to them. This is the crux of my argument, if say the government wants to trace something badly enough, then they can using the blockchain, if large amounts of fiat turn into crypto, then there's a record of that transaction, it can ultimately be traced back.

With darksend, if i'm not mistaken, this ability to ultimately be traced back gets extinguished. much to the joy of annonymous supporters, and much to the dismay of law enforcement officials.

I'm not saying that every bitcoin transaction is traceable, infact it looks like you have to expend a fair amount of energy and resources to actually do a proper trace on funds moving around with crypto, but it is *mostly* possible. i can't help but think that this is what is keeping a high value on crypto at the moment.  and that if this suddenly vanished, and you COULDN'T move fiat into crypto as easily, nowhere as easily at all, then it would not cause the price to "explode" cause you could never do anything with it. value comes largely out of market cap which is tied to liquidity. am i wrong?

also, as a side note. i asked in here clear as day what the best alternative to DRK was which used X11. I had read about HIRO in another thread, which made me come here. Everyone knows that DRK is the x11 originator, obviously i'd come to the source, to the originator of the algorithm for clues as to a master list of other coins using the same algorithm. I have not seen a full list of all available X11 currencies yet, so far the only thing anyone has told me in here is to look at HIRO. All i want is X11, and maybe DGW, that's it. If anyone can post a link to all the available X11 currencies i'd be very happy to read it, as i have 7MH which is sitting around because my building hasn't turned the AC on yet, and i'm tired of walking around butt nekkid xD
