In Wired article all the reviewed coins represented in bad light IMO. The conclusion leads to deduction that their primary purpose is money laundry and black markets:
Quote
Anoncoin, Zerocoin, and Darkcoin are all unlikely to ever achieve the same acceptance for goods and services as bitcoin has. But it’s worth nothing that if exchanges allow the trade of bitcoins for these more private currencies without requiring identification, they could serve as giant laundry services, anonymizing any funds that are traded into and then out of their networks.
Well I am not sure what we can do about that other than to at every opportunity educate people about the importance of privacy in the cryptocurrency space and why private != illegal. Though... even with that, I expect the mainstream media to continue to associate Darkcoin with criminal activity just because that is their default behavior.
IMO, the bigger issue with the article was use of the word "lottery" with respect to the masternode payouts. I understand that one of the masternodes is elected at random, but to somebody who knows nothing of DRK it sounds like you have to pay 1000 DRK for the outside chance (connotation from lottery) to get 10% of the mining reward. The masternode POService feature is very unique -- and while the "lottery" statement is true, it puts the whole thing in a bad light as most people view participation in a lottery as throwing your money away.
That's said, if you just read this article without any prior knowledge of the anonymous coin development space, IMO DRK would catch your eye -- if not for the stated improvements to coinjoin then because of the awesome new logo.

Nice coverage in Wired all! I would think that with the release pending (a month or so, correct?) we might finally start the push to .01.
Don't worry, the price will inevitably drop when my funds clear and I buy in. Happens every time ha ha.

Later this year, they plan to release Zerocoin, another alternative to bitcoin that uses a technique to anonymize its coins that’s much stronger than Dark Wallet’s or DarkCoin’s, and that’s impossible with bitcoin as it currently functions.
Much stronger, sure ?

Well looks like I won't be able to afford a Masternode now!
In any case, this is huge for DarkCoin and huge recognition for Evan:

DarkCoin - The most technically solid method for protecting the anonymity of bitcoin transactions may be to create a new bitcoin altogether, starting with privacy as a first principle.

EDIT
I like the anoncoin section - it sounds like
'yeah, we've been working on anoncoin for a while now, we decided to implement someone elses tech because its better than ours.'

Funny picture for a serious problem! I too hope this will be resolved well before the 14th! If I only knew how to code, I'd be doing it, but I don't! Actually, I'm somewhat surprised there aren't more people with coding skills in crypto currencies. But then, if my sister is any indication of coders/programmers, they're serious people who don't like to speculate??
There is a bounty! Anyone with coding skills?

Good quality anything is available for the right price - maybe the bounty should be raised.
