Choice is always good. Coercion is always bad.

No it isn't. In this sector, choice is BAD, coercion is good.

The choice you have is to use another network. The whole point of privacy would be lost if it was optional. That's the huge advantage DRK has over anything else.

What's the point of using the Darkcoin network to keep your finances private if every bit of income you receive is transparent to all and sundry ?

If somebody **chooses** to use the DRK network because they wanted totally financial privacy, then that choice can only be done justice to by hiding their income as well as their expenditure.

And I would not use the word "coercion" because it's simply one of the main features of the coin, an innovation.

Coercion + closed source will not bode well for darkcoin.
So I hope they won't dare to release an enforced darksend version while STILL keeping the source closed, because that would basically cause the coins value to drop like a stone. (IMHO)

Then I would really feel like having bought an apple product.... making me feel that "jail is cool"  Angry

So, again, is this official that the dark send feature will be mandatory in the future?


I repeat myself, DarkSend is a feature. If you chose to buy a TV that integrates some new technologies do you consider this as a form of coercion ?
