Evan promised "ring signatures in V2"
Yesterday he had to back peddle and admit it couldn't be done on a Bitcoin fork. You can't trust this kind of behaviour.
Darksend is closed source, no one with half a brain would trust closed source software. I can't wait to see the math on a whitepaper.
If Evan ever comes up with something groundbreaking (will not happen) the Bitcoin devs can copy and implement it. On the other hand, they can never copy cryptonote based coins.
Well , Evan said, that he has something better than ring signatures. But if you like cryptonote there is many clones . I can tell you cryptonote can't survive a day of heavy trading and many transactions like DARKCOIN .The bloat of the cryptonote chain will be indefinite
Cryptonote has a variety of issues that would make it incapable of surviving for long..
The bloating and scaling issues are very severe, along with the fact that just about anyone can simply fork Bytecoin, and make there own Cryptonote coin, just like the devs of Monero, HoneyPenny, Quazarcoin, and FantomCoin did(all bytecoin clones).
They're all the same and have the exact same features and code since they're forked from Bytecoin, with just different names, no innovation=no future.
