Previous comments aside- I think based on how respected he is in the community having a core bitcoin dev give the nod of approval would essentially implant this coin as the #2 instantly.
However, I hope he is open and willing to provide an honest un-biased opinion based purely on the solution - and not from a "bitcoin is the only solution" approach.
So Evan - we have secured you a reviewer - I trust your decision on who you think is best

gmaxwell, I think it would be great if you could spare some of your time to review Darkcoin's code once Evan has completed it.
I have no doubt that you would be able to provide valuable constructive feedback to Evan. Collaboration I see is the key to evolution and advancing ourselves in the crypto technology space - I am sure with both of your minds together something great could happen!
I will, if someone remembers to point me to it ideally if it also comes with a high level design document so I don't have to extract all the behavior from the code (doing so is very time consuming).
