Also, the data that moves between masternodes will be encrypted, making Darksend trustless.
Trustless in the sense that your transactions cannot be unmasked through masternode owner collusion.
That does not follow from link encryption.
Maybe I'm mistaken on encryption being the way its done, but the Dark developer stated that it's being worked on.
This is exactly why DRK is over priced : people are investing money into a coin whose proposal value is a work in progress. This is why XMR has such a potential growth : it only lacks what DRK already has : user friendliness and marketing.
I really feel for DRK supporters because they are being scammed out of their precious bitcoins and they dont even know about it. Another part of me thinks they deserve it because we've been calling it for what it is for a long time now.
Monero is just as much a work in progress until it gets ip obfuscation. Your argument doesn't make sense because it applies to all CN coins.
