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).

As an aside, and apart from the privacy tech

Whats with the claims here that the subsidy was changed after some millions of coins were created? Thats pretty damning if true shades of Solidcoin.

The whole too-low-initial-difficulty plus exponential distribution thing seems to be a trope now. Bitcoin's initial difficulty was high enough (relative to existing hardware and software) that it couldn't even keep up with its 10 minute target during the first year. If I were crazy enough to launch an altcoin I'd set it so that the real mining didn't begin until it crossed some somewhat reasonable difficulty to reduce the land grab intensity, because it smells pretty fishy otherwise.

Dang, I would be feeling pretty uptight right now if I was still holding a significant amount of DRK still. But the points gmaxwell made were already known, but the fact that gmaxwell points out some of the shady stuff of DRK, it kind of adds a lot more meaning....
