In all seriousness, AFAIK the only other provably anon, trustless coins are bytecoin clones and those have bloat issues. Is there actual proof of anything else? Or are we just talking about trusted mixers and vaporware?
And cryptonote coins are true P2P. No masternode network required. But they have been taking a hit as well. I don't think that anonymity is as big of a deal to the majority of people as it is to the diehard DRK'rs. It was just the latest fad. Mainstream commercial adoption where the money is doesn't care about anonymity. DRK may very well be the best anonymous coin one day but it will still only occupy a small niche market.
Also, progress is being made on the bloat issue and one cryptonote coin is already doing some pruning of the blockchain.
if you did not spend all of your time trolling drk and kept up with your cryptonote investments you would know that the pruning efforts are negligible and the bloat can't be fixed as AnonyMint has pointed out. they are now just saying that the bloat won't be a problem in the future because of moore's law but that's just wishful thinking and not a solution.
in the future masternodes can help y'all with your bloating issues though, for a small fee of course
