If this is to be a platform that's taken seriously and adopted by merchants, high net worth individuals, corporations and anyone else who values their privacy, let Evan and team take as much time as they need to test and perfect...
If you find a bug in testing vs after go-live, you're doing it right...
If its adopted and taken seriously by merchants or high net worth individuals, who are law-abiding, and presumably in first-world country - they will have a hard time defending the use of an anonymous currency, assuming of course that they are not outlawed in such places anyway.
Of course, by high net worth you may mean on the black-market, or other such places - which can also be true. But I guess that's a different market entirely.
Yes I didn't want to say it out loud because the Trolls and Authorities are going to use it as a smoking gun to tarnish the image of DRK. But yes, because it's eCash it will be used by honest and dishonest parties just like cash is.
You'll probably find the initial wave of
real investment is going to come from tech savvy cartels and high net worth individuals. I can see the cartels doing their own independent code review before they start using the platform as a financial backbone.
If they aren't already watching, government agencies have everything to gain to ensure DRK is a resounding success. In public and in front of the media, they will condemn crypto currencies like DRK, when in secret they will be glad to have an anonymous platform to fund all their covert activities around the world.
It will be a bit like the tobacco industry. To win votes they condemn it and throw a few bones to various health organisations, when in secret smokers are considered excellent tax payers and the governments would be fucked without the money...
Then you're gonna have you're average Joe like you and me that's simply fed up with having every aspect of their lives monitored... DRK will be a breath of fresh air...
