"It does not magically solve the instant transaction problem for everyone. It just offers a way to mark your transactions so that you can leverage your reputation among anyone who recognizes and trusts you"

Does this mean that you can build your trust with bitcoin's green coins for a while and then pull a big one?

Darkcoin's instant tx is trustless.

This is what green addresses have been doing for Bitcoin for a few years.

Here's a June 2013 article that describes it: http://www.coindesk.com/green-address-the-solution-to-slow-bitcoin-transactions/

And here's the whitepaper: http://www.bitcoinmonitor.com/static/paper/marker-addresses.pdf

You can already use the instant transaction system with Bitcoin by using the greenaddress.it wallet

But it can't be anonymous and requires trust.

Amazing Evan Duffield.

I was even more impressed by the comments on the bitcoin reddit giving kudos to Evan for his revolutionary ideas and constant thrive to improving the crypto world.

Bitcoin is suffering due to its 1.5hr confirmation times and this could be the tipping point where Darkcoins anonmyity and instant transactions finally shines.

When this get implemented in darkcoin, this will be cryptocurrency's first real chance of attacking credit card companys.
Cryptocurrency will no longer be just "internetmoney", it will become so much more.

Looking forward with good faith in the darkcoin dev team!

You should change the title to "Instant bitcoin based transactions are now possible".  Tongue

If successfully implemented, this will be the biggest advancement in cryptocurrencies since Bitcoin was released.

Quote
This paper introduces a new concept called transaction locking and masternode consensus. This technology will allow for crypto-currencies such as Darkcoin to compete with nearly instantaneous transaction systems such as credit cards for point-of-sale situations while not relying on a centralized authority. If successful, such an idea could revolutionize cryptocurrency, by shortening the delay in confirmation of transactions from as long as an hour (with Bitcoin) to as little as twenty seconds
