After rev 2 we will have better tech, better Dev's and much better plans for the future.
Ill ask again, how long do you think DRK can stay as a market leader once Rev 2 is released and its competitor has MUCH better technology across the board, a MUCH better Dev, and MUCH better plans for the future?

"MUCH better" is highly debatable imo, when you consider the following timeline:

- XC thought that transferring the actual coins to xnodes was a good idea
- when the trust issue was repeatedly pointed out, it was decided that a "dynamic trust model" would be implemented to fix the issue
- when the flaws in that model were pointed out, it was decided that it's better to follow what DRK did, and implement multisigs so the nodes couldn't steal the coins

It looks to me like XC is following DRK's lead and not the other way around. This can be 100% confirmed after XC announces plans to add collateral.


I donno. I don't see DRK racing to implement anonymous messaging, staking mobile wallet APPs or PoBC.

And those are just the features that have been leaked.

That's all extra fluff on top of the basic functionality (and btw, DRK is not a PoS coin so it doesn't need "staking mobile wallet"). Maybe it would be best for XC to just concentrate on those extra features and fork from DRK if they're gonna follow its lead anyway so they could at least get the fundamentals right. Smiley
