Hang on.

This is all going a bit gaga. We're potential headed into load of trouble here.

DRK was a currency, not a service. Its low coin supply was attractive and consistent with its role as a currency / store of value.

A currency should have NO utility value to be of any worth as a monetary medium. That's what makes crypto attractive. As soon as it starts to have utility value it goes out of circulation and becomes a utility which then exposes it to competition from other utilities.

So if we're now talking about a service, we're into a whole new ballgame. Different rules apply.

For a start, the limited coin supply is going to be a hindrance not a help. 1000 nodes is nothing in terms of a bandwidth infrastructure. You need 100's of thousands or millions because we're not just talking coin 'washing' we're talking high bandwith transport (I imagine).

Secondly, with it being a service, not a currency, there's nothing to stop other players from competing. Adoption isn't an objective anymore, revenue is. My own opinion is that a Darkcoin TOR network will never even get near the kind of income your talking about - there are so many players in this market who a way ahead in this technology. We're talking about a whole new industry sector. This is dreamland stuff.

Nobody gets to make that kind of money in a technology market and keep market share - it just doesn't happen, so lets get our feet back on the ground and establish exactly what this project is about.

This is a very big deal and must be thought through on all front before people start getting dollar signs in their eyes.
