I'm neither a competitor not trying to disrupt progress...  I'm suggesting that it's highly likely we are going to see more nasty forking issues over the next updates.  I've followed DRK development for long enough, and there definitely aren't any unanticipated surprises...

If enough people refuse to pay the 20% MN fee, then it simply won't happen.  This is simply how PoW crypto networks work.

Other functionality

RC4 will also still include improvements to the anonymity of Darksend. After the implementation phase is complete we will begin by testing the non-enforcement / enforcement switch and the new anonymity layer on testnet.

Thanks,
