Can anybody compare this anonymity model with Darkcoin's Darksend?
pros + cons
I can't find yet cons against this anon.
Pro is that it is more descentralized
More? How so. Dev is running the cluster right now.
this anon does not uses masternodes like DRK
How is this a "pro"?
every wallet can be an xnode to anonymize the transaction.
Yes, if the wallet has enough coins it it. Just like a darkcoin wallet can be a masternode.
1. In 2-3 weeks all wallets will be updated with xnode activation option.
2. Having all wallets able to serve as xnodes is more decentralized than having the need to run a server in order to be able to act as master node.
3. Only the wallet is not enough to serve as a masternode, for the average non-technical person is almost impossible to set up a masternode. With XC even your granny can be a masternode. Here is some info from
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/darkcoin-update-masternode-requirements-masternode-payments.225/How to create a masternode?
- Get a machine with a static ip
- Setup some ddos protection
- Setup firewall rules to block any ports that are not needed
- Open port 9999
- Download the beta daemon of darkcoin
- Use ./darkcoind getaccountaddress 0 to get an address on that daemon
- Send EXACTLY 1000DRK to that daemon
- Encrypt the wallet with a strong password, make a backup of the wallet, do not copy the wallet while the daemon is running
- In the darkcoin.conf add "connect=23.23.186.131" and "masternode=1"
- Restart the daemon
- darkcoind masternode start `head -1` (type your password on the next line)
