EDIT: This has quite some implications on release plan by the way. For example, open source will probably be delayed until instant transactions have been implemented. Also, the name of the coin will probably be changed. Darkcoin is a good name for anonymous digital currency, it is not for the successor of bitcoin.
Thats what I thought straight away too. I love the name Darkcoin, I would welcome something more universal that relates to both anonymity and fast transactions though.
