Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW

Also, like I pointed out earlier, this means that Masternodes now have no direct involvement in the actual person to person transaction, so if someone decides to use Darkcoin to so something illegal, there is no reasonable grounds for Masternode owners to be held liable.

Plausible deniability ftw!

As someone pointed out above, of course, aways consult your attorney.

That said, I'm not sure it's just plausible deniability. Once this is implemented, Masternodes will simply be denominating funds. They will no longer be facilitating the actual transfer of funds for purchases between a buyer and a seller. They are completely bypassed in that regard.

If the United States government gets a hint that a one cent of funds was transferred to any terrorist organization using the Darkcoin network it's lights out. Plausible deniability doesn't mean a thing when Amazon and every other provider in the United States complies with a court order and shuts down the masternodes.

I'm not promoting cryptonote coins as they have plenty of their own problems. But they offer true P2P anonymity that isn't subject to having a masternode network shut down.

I host a couple MNs in Iceland. I'm not sure they care what the US Gov't thinks.

Actually Iceland has one of the strongest internet privacy regulations, there is a browser in beta (called Icebrowser) that channels all traffic through Iceland and encrypting everything giving everyone in the world the same rights as Icelanders on the Internet. Kindof cool just saw this today.

Iceland places an exceptionally strong emphasis on privacy rights, such that what is now commonplace in the U.S. and parts of Europe would be unthinkable there.

.. If anyone wants to host a MN in Iceland then I managed to convince a company to accept DRK for VPS rent Cheesy
