congratulations you've successfully split a cunt hair.
the master node setup is still a centralized structure reliant upon trust.

Trust only in the sense of transaction knowledge, not in the sense of a transaction being trusted.

The current abundance of nodes strengthens your argument in favor of dark send but this goes against the entire concept of trustless regulatory consensus algorithms.

Not really. Each people who have a consensus to mix their coins / transactions and are using a non-centralized (not 1 center) matchmaker to do so.

Btw, masternodes can be used for other things beyond DarkSend.

Which is the key point I want to make here. Dark send is the appliance of provably corruptible centralized regulatory coin mixing services on top of a brilliant trustless decentralized regulatory consensus algorithm. Zerocoin is the future, not dark send. The transaction mixing needs to become apart of the algorithm its self not on centralized masternode servers.

- Trusted accumulator
- Zero proofs non quantum resistant (=not very future-proof)

There is no perfect solution for anonymity.
