Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW

This also completely ignores the concept of pruning old transactions, which can be done if need be.

Is there a consensus that pruning is actually possible and doable?

Yes. Transactions which have had all outputs spent and have had ? transactions past them are no longer needed to be stored.

Speaking about the competition (a lot) gives it importance.

If that is the attitude darkcoin wants to have, we might as well give up now. In general, pretending competition doesn't exist results in one thing, and one thing only. Absolute failure.

That's not the attitude of Darkcoin, that's my opinion. And when I say "speaking" read "criticizing" don't twist it.

Im with you on that, reading about xyz coin on the darkcoin thread is getting really annoying, can we please just focus, its really great that all the other coins are doing this and that .. there has been a whole lot of discussion about every anon coin out there, but really ? Why post it here, Isint it enough already. If I would want to check it out I would go to theyr thread to read up on it.

Concerning the FUD, I agree. However given the novelty of anonymous coins, having a constructive conversation of the tech behind competitors is critical to ensure the long term strength of darkcoin. Unfortunately that doesn't happen, because most of the conversation is worthless FUD, and is incredibly annoying. But what isn't FUD typically is shot down immediately by posts like this, which is incredibly unfortunate. If better technology is implemented by someone else, it shouldn't go overlooked because people weren't willing to discuss it.

If you read the last 1200 pages then you will see that we are more than willing to discuss the tech behind every other coin. Just me personally think that we could use our time better by finding some creative solutions to darkcoin rather than debate what xyz coin is doing.
