How can you be so certain, considering Evan hasn't announced all the details on RC4? Monero also uses a lot of computer resources, and it's uncertain whether it can scale. It's a very new technology, so you'd have to be naive to say it's perfect. Monero won't be anywhere near complete for 6 months minimum. Likely closer to a year.

bump?

Is there a list of team members for this coin?  Or is it just Evan?

And could we get the first post edited to list them all?

There's been enough of this random anonymous team crap with all these fly by night coins. The way to fight it is to use your strengths, and real people being behind this coin is a strength.

Thanks!

That's of useful passing academic interest. But it's not enough to shift markets as you've already seen.

DRK would have to be broken in a way that Monero isn't for it to have a strategic market impact at this point. A $40 million market cap isn't going to disinvest itself based on subtle (or even fundamental) differences in technical approach if it considers the job to be done satisfactorily. There are far more influential factors underlying its merits as an investment as opposed to a technology, such as simple market penetration for a start.

All the same, I agree with your previous point regarding the desirability of a diverse range of projects and in fact declare that I am a Monero holder. I picked some up way back cos I like hedges and am not a "tribal warfare" kind of investor. That said, I don't see it ever getting near DRK in market cap unless some major show stopper appears.

RC4 

big penis

The bloat is caused by dust transactions, recently a upgrade was made for pools to stop dust transactions.

AKA problem is solved.

Even then, Ring Signature anonymity is Much much better than coinjoin/masternode anonymity..

OMFG!!! I am in AWE. I am speechless. Someone is ready to take over my FUD patrol spot. I will just stop here.

As a merchant and a soon to be exchange operator Monero's bloat problems are massive issues. If it ever reaches mass adoption I will have to dedicate extra hardware and bandwidth for their blockchain or resort to using a centralized blockchain which defeats a lot of the advantages in my opinion.

Hey -bitcoinhype

See if you can't clone yourself a few times more. You'll save on creativity  






(Plus you'll help me with my FUD defence scores ! )

(bolded quotes)
This is pretty silly. XMR will not be "perfect" with just a GUI wallet. There's plenty more they are working on, plenty of other problems to solve. Also, XMR's anonymity is not the "best", but rather on par with all the other CN coins - which makes it tied for the "best" if you want to put it that way. It's generally agreed upon that zerocoin/cash will be the best when/if it ever materializes.

Finally, of course coinjoin as used in DS is anonymous.....until you spend using inputs from your change account and original account simultaneously. This is the whole point of denominated change in RC4.

Coinjoin didn't use same size inputs, masking the ability to figure out which output belongs to which input.  Then the "change" for the sender is sent back to a one time use address, that can not be associated with the wallet it came from unless you had access to that wallet.

Still, there are holes, especially if people reuse addresses that they've made public and don't use DarkSend every time.  The biggest thing that will plug that hole in the future is mandatory DarkSend.  After that, Evan has something else going on that I know nothing about 

So yes, coinjoin as Maxwell described is possible to follow the money, but if DarkSend were used, it would be pretty much impossible to "prove" but possible to kind of guess at what is happening with enough analysis.  Evan says he has come up with a way to make it as anonymous as ring signatures, but without the bloat.

Speaking of bloat, Monero has solved the bloat problem?  Or reduced it?  I suspect reducing a huge bloat problem won't be enough, being that even bitcoin's blockchain has become ungodly huge.  Ours will too, but at least Masternodes can be given the assignment to hold it so that regular users don't have to, yet it will remain decentralized. 

Anyway, I still like the "mechanical" way DarkSend works over any kind of encryption system, because it obviously won't be long before we have more powerful computer,  especially quantum computers, and they will be able to decrypt the code, revealing all the transactions on the blockchain.  The DarkSend Blockchain will not be any clearer under the scrutiny of a Quantum Computer.

It's not correct. splawik21 was saying it's out of date and asking for it to be updated.


The out-of-date quote is still at the top of http://www.darkcoin.io/ in small red letters.

Say what? Where did you get this info ? That cannot be correct. Reverting to xx.xx.01 will "enable" Masternode payments again, and blocks will be NOT be orphaned because the payments will NOT be enabled, but in any case, if anything, xx.xx.02, unless Evan rolls out xx.xx.03

All there….>

So we're going back to the version we forked on?

Again, see, such thing should be brought in in a FUDtalk.org - this is Darkcoin thread

I have, but there is a Huge Huge problem with Boolberry. That's because they use the aglorithm Wild Keccak instead of Cryptonote. There is a private gpu miner for Wild Keccak, as users have been getting on average, 7,000 boolberry per day using the private gpu miner...I recently saw a 80,000 boolberry sell on Poloniex also..

AKA

Boolberry has been extremely instamined, most likely more than 50%.

Based on, not cloned! Get you facts straight. Completely different things!

And I did not talk down on Monero. If anything, its the only legit alternative to DRK. But in my book, DARK is waaay more innovative in every sense, than Monero.

Note the tendency of not talking down other coins while defending the one I like. Unlike FUDsters.

I like DRK, XMR, and NXT. I also like to root for underdogs of underdogs, so I have a small bet on Boolberry (BBR). They have aliases for the long cryptonote addresses, as well as a GUI wallet. They're still young, with a small coin count (under 500k). Also, they're not listed on coinmarketcap yet so they are flying under the radar. Check them out when you get a moment.
