Look, I like privacy. I just always assumed that it was something I could switch on and off with darkcoin. I liked that idea.
If this shouldn't be possible in the future anymore (although I had the impression that until now (testphase etc) IT WAS possible to have both systems coexist) than I only hope that before dark send becomes mandatory it also becomes fully open source, or else I quit.

That's basically the reason for my concern...
If I am forced into a closed system my support ends.This is a good point. Doing this before Dark Wallet does their distributed node thing is highly advisable. You want to entrench Darkcoin as THE privacy solution for digital currencies before alternatives pop up.
