Very valid concerns.

You will have noticed that I have been suggesting a name change, resulting in a compromise, from my part, of putting forward just DRK.

I have also been looking at white label options where the wallet is given a completely different branding. Who cares that there is something called DRK running the network from behind?

DRKTor

Tor is legal

https://www.torproject.org/eff/tor-legal-faq

My view is that its like people growing pot in their rented homes. You don't arrest the property owner, you arrest those that are growing.

Master Nodes are not those putting any illegal material on the network. The cops have to hunt and arrest those that do the crime.

That's how the internet works now. Illegal file sharing is illegal, you go after king dot com, not the ISP whose wires get used.

PirateBay was attacked because those running it were going after illegal content to make them money.  DRKTor would be a way to access legal content. A small percentage may use it for other things. Fine, honey trap and sting them.

For me, this is the first project that has a crypto backed by something tangible. DRK coins will have intrinsic value because you need them to use the DRKTor infrastructure.

We have always said that Bitcoin is too far ahead to beat. Now that only applies to mainstream merchant outlets.

We can have something approaching Bitcoin value, by creating the value ourselves.

For me, DRKTor is not a criminal infrastructure network, it would be a tool and the answer to being tracked to death by every single internet company.

The governments of the world make and sell weapons to criminal States. They get used for illegal purposes. They still make more weapons. We should ban this before looking to ban DRKTor before it gets going.
