Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW | ASIC Resistant
I don't think MRO will catch us in market cap anytime soon, but I've been thinking... if not having ring signatures is the only way people can attack DRK other than the absurd "Instamine Scam!11!" crap trolling -- then maybe Evan should pull in ring signatures and put them in V1. Of course, I have no idea how hard the coding would be, but the longer we let mindshare form that DRK's anonymity is second rate to MRO's the harder it will be to win people back once V2 is releases.
Tell me I am crazy here...

1: Coding requires time. Cloning does not (Monero being a Bytecoin clone). So V1 is out of the question.
2: Monero has a lot of issues in the usability and compatibility departments, and from what I read in their thread, serious bloat issues (?). If that's the problem now, then how the hell is this gonna scale in 3-5-10 years?
3. By V2 of DRK, Monero will be a subset of DRK's capabilities and DRK will have more anonymous features + bitcoin-level of usability and compatibility. So long-term hold prospect for Monero doesn't look good in that sense. It could be a short-term hedge for DRK though.
4. Evan will not stop with DRK's evolution after the anonymity job is finished. He has plans for killer mainstream features. At least I remember he said that when DarkSend is finished he'll implement something he believes will be a smash. I've no idea what it is.

Don't under estimate the value of the master node network. Putting up a $7k stake to provide a decentralised service which can be used for all sorts of projects. That's coming out a bit of a firm winner in its own right.
