I wonder how many they can monitor especially with so many others coming out.
Wrong. If I send my grandma 1 LTCD for Christmas, the NSA will be sniffing all over it, just because "DARK" is part of the coin name. Doesn't matter what the purpose of the transfer is. All coins with "DARK" in the name are being monitored for all transactions. TOR doesn't hide from them.
I still believe that having "Dark" in the name is just asking for the wrong kind of attention and will lead to trouble. Some other word to substitute instead of "Dark" would be wise, in my own opinion.
I disagree with this, you can have Dark as part of the name and you only bring about the wrong attention when you do things you shouldn't do. Has anyone scooped up DarkMatter? That would be an awesome name!
