Evan was very clear on Jira about avoiding any other references to the technology. Our brand is Darksend. If you could check it out and edit your posts it woild be nice.
Satoshi was very clear, no central authority
Actually, this has brought up something that pissed me off when Kristov talked about Darkcoin recently.
He called it an implementation of CoinJoin as proposed by gmaxwell. Really?
gmaxwell has previously gone out of his way to say he didn't want Darkcoin implementation to be associated with his concept. Actually, I agree. It's nothing like it. It's a pre-mix. Much, much, order of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000x better - because it works.
gmaxwell did not come up with the idea of hiding amongst others. That concept was considered in the 80s. It led to the development of Tor: You can't hide alone, but you can hide if you mix with lots of others.
DarkMix, a random pre-mix with many peers, is its own definition of mixing
Fuck coinjoin we are Darksend... I guess Kristov needed a way to make a reference to the general crypto audience. In time they will understand that Darksend is a new species, is evolution. Coinjoin = homo erectus Darksend = Homo Sapiens ... I guess coinjoin has a place in coding anthropology as a limited older relative of Darksend.
