Do you not agree, however, that there should be a balance? Too much technical talk and the masses' eyes glaze over -- and they outnumber us techies a lot to a little. And then you have the fact that DRK's tech is contently changing -- just how out of date is the whitepaper for example. Talking about details then changing them confuses people technical or otherwise. Maybe the balance is too much swung toward generic information at he present, but move too far back in the opposite direction and there will be problems all the same.
I agree, but the masses don't have to read the post. You want the people like me, like AlexGR, to understand the current state of development, to understand the technology.
I can't sell something I know nothing about. I can't defend DRK with general statements.
"Don't worry DRK is getting IP obfuscation."
"How does that work?"
"IDK?"
Point taken.
Though I feel that this information will come as the tech is set in stone and definitely will be available when Darksend is open-sourced as anybody will be able to take a look at the code.
The real problem is that DRK got sidetracked for nearly two months in fixing masternode payments. And while MN's are needed for the current iteration of Darksend, the issues delayed everything and pushed the coin off message. It has been a stupidly long time since anonymity was discussed in this thread. With MN's mostly out of the way, I think you will get what you are asking for in fairly short order -- maybe even a bit today
You have a valid point. But don't forget that it was trouble with hard forking that led to the development of the spork technique, which will likely make the growing pains much, much easier in the future.
