I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed we're not going the route of a DarkTor equivalent.
Yet*
Seems like anybody (not just darkcoin core team) could develop an add-on for masternodes to create Darktor. Maybe after open source somebody will see this as a profitable business model and write the code to make it happen. Who knows. But probably better having the core team working on core issues.
I now think it's better if darkcoin does one thing (anonymity) and does it really really well. Like In N' Out Burgers or Bakesale Betty's in Oakland CA, they make amazing fried chicken sandwiches, nothing else. Line out the door every day. Man I'm hungry.
All that's needed for a DRK TOR-beater is for the IP obfuscation and encrypted comms to be integrated and accessible to 3rd parties.
At that point, I can guarantee you that some kind of MasterNet will become a reality, because if nobody else beats me to it, it will be called CroutonNet.

Put me down for that launch.
