What if I want to start a donation address and I like to show the amount of recieved donations to everybody?
Then use a different crypto. Darkcoin wasn't invented to offer transparency it was invented to offer opacity.
What if I want to keep my income private ? Then our choices conflict. They can only be resolved by a diversity of actual crypto networks which is exactly what we do have.
I don't see why both things can't coexist.
Suppose 1 million people use the darksend feature and only two people have it disabled.
I don't get how the million people will have LESS privacy if a few people walk around "naked".
Ofcourse the "naked" guys will not associate with the dark ones, and they will mutually shun each other. Naturally, but there is truly no reason why everybody should be forced to wear clothes.
If I understood the masternode system correctly, it is an additional infrastructure put on top of a normal BTC kind transaction system.
Use a different crypto? What if only darkcoin provides the price stability I am looking for? What if I like darkcoin simply for the reason that it has a stable price development?
