I think you're missing his point. He was really being tongue in cheek This isn't just tech kiddy crap any more, this is cutting edge computer science in a field where people can spend and lose millions of dollars. I sincerely hope for the people invested in XC that it works out for them, but as someone who has been investing, mining and researching this technology field for months, I am very skeptical and currently not invested, although I was at one point.
But you have to admit XC wouldn't have taken off like this if Dark didn't have serious problems of its own. I have no problem admitting Dark is way ahead of the game and may be "the best" or most ahead anonymous coin at the moment and I'd much rather hold it if I could afford it, but people try to cover up the fact it has problems too, the whole instamine controversy, masternodes being hosted on Amazon servers, being ripe pickings for DDOS, etc. there wouldn't be a "search" for a better coin if there wasn't a need.
At the very least I don't think Dark deserves to be anywhere near the 10 dollar and above mark until we have proven 95-99% anonymity at least and full disclosure of source code to insure the technology is safe. There is still no guarantee after all that either DRK or XC isn't some major honeypot, neither are truly following the fundamental natures of open source software yet people seem more inclined to worry about whether a dev is using github right or outsourcing some coding work to other devs.
