sorry to dumb down this current discussions but can someone pls answer a few basic questions for me....i've been mining DRK for a few weeks and like the concept of the coin. It's one of the few i believe actually serves a purpose.
so i just need a quick summary...
Is Darkcoin completely anoymous? is Darksend going to work as planned?
Is AnonyMint a DRK developler?
Should I keep mining Darkcoin or go back to normal scrypt coins?
No AnonyMint is not a developer, but he has brought up ideas for the coin to get better.
Nothing is ever completely anonymous, DRK was not developed to give anyone a way to do anything illegal, the idea was to give people a coin that allows you to send and receive coins and would be really hard to track, which is still in beta development, but is working currently, if using the beta wallet, but we are trying to make it even better. Currently with othercoins including Bitcoin you can look back and see addresses and who they sent coins to.
I'm at a loss here . . the way you worded this could indicate that you think that anonymity is illegal. It is not . . and there is nothing wrong with wanting it and especially having it.
Just because people ask if something is completely anonymous should not allude to thoughts of illegality.
Doing illegal things are illegal, but the tools by which someone may conduct illegal things are just that. To imply otherwise would defeatist . . and quite against the vibe I pick up from this thread in general.
If I have cash in my hand . . and pay someone with it for some groceries . . I have conducted an anonymous transaction as far as this example will serve. I'm excluding cameras, the smartphone in my pocket, or any other form of seemingly eternal memory for the purpose of this point.
Up until the last decade or two . . we've taken transactions that are that simple completely for granted. I just don't understand how wanting that again, but across the internet should be pissed on at every mention of the word "anonymous".
I'm not trying to demonize you, you're fantastic as far as I can tell . . I was just over-exaggerating a point I see that keeps being brought up over and over that really gets to me.
It's becoming more clear every day that anonymity is becoming important in this . . so when I read posts like this from people who have been in this thread a long time and have active roles in development as far as i can tell . . I take it serious when someone says they are drawing a line like you just did.
Should I believe that you'd like this to be private to the point where it can still get you tracked, jailed or killed if someone had enough money to track what you do . . or should I believe that you'd like to see this to the point where I won't see Game of Thrones ads pushed to my browser tens of times due to my purchase history a month ago?
Either way . . I'm still largely in support . . but if you're going to draw lines then I (being just a regular user) guess I need to as well.
