I'd be for that but not sure how that would work with exchanges and pools.
QT client default ON, darkcoind default OFF.
Then you wouldn't be able to say it's automatic or mandatory if there would still be an option for those to get around having to do it from the start.
I think just having DS on by default in the QT client would greatly speed the mixing process. How many regular users are going to mess about with it or run the daemon instead? Why would they? DRK is a private coin, if you don't care about privacy there's BTC.
I agree. Anyone who's spent hours or even days waiting for funds to be anonymised should see how much sense this makes. I understand to mixing inputs are to be changed with the intention of speeding up the process, but especially now that the anonymisation no longer has a charge per round, the default should be to mix the funds for a predetermined number of rounds. As long its possible for users to change the settings, I don't think it would be a problem.
