Guys, I have a slight concern after reading that Evan is going to implement ring signatures down the line.

If Evan implements Ring Signatures after DarkSend is complete, doesn't this render all the work done to create DarkSend and the Masternode system a waste of energy, time, and resources? Ring Signatures inherently don't require any masternodes to operate while arguably providing more anonymity via untranceable payments and unlinkable transacations, etc. etc (you all know this probably). So why implement this? Just for the sake of being able to? Obviously ring signatures are desirable since Evan stated he will code them in, so why not just do this to begin with instead of Darksend?

If ring signatures will be an alternative choice for Darkcoin users, this directly competes against Masternode owners.
If ring signatures will be the mandatory method of transactions for Darkcoin users, this is a redundancy that will simply be a waste of time and render DarkSend obsolete.

I think Darkcoin is much better served to stick with Darksend since Evan already chose to do this first.

Unless of course I'm wrong about something? I'm certainly aware I could be overlooking something. Not posting for FUD, just posting for clarity and sensible decision making in the future.
