So is this domain ruled by DRK and Monero. Are there any other coins with special anon features?

Considering you guys don't have a GUI, I'd say you're more like IRC chat  Grin

LOL - hopefully we upgrade ourselves to Skype levels soon enough;)

GUI is nothing, GUI is just for marketing, the tech is more important.

CryptoNote is a good tech, multisig is a good tech, p2p anon trustless using multisig is a good tech, central mixer... it's a ok one, but not fit well into the p2p nature of crypto coin, so it's a less good tech. Though I understand it is easy to implement and many coins claiming anon using it, including DRK.

Because DRK did not use the best tech, it can't be the leader of the anonymous coin, it was in leading position for some time only because of promo and hype.

I think xmr and drk can win together.

because drk is based on bitcoin, its APIs are the same or very similar. those who run bitcoin can run drk, in place of or alongside. think porn sites adn gambling that now accept bitcoin. once customers start to get scared of being linked to using these services, drk can run alongside very easily, quickly and therefore cheaply.

drk using 8 rounds of mixing from within the wallet, that's pretty good tech, imho

xmr is different tech. those that don't like bitcoin, they can run xmr. there are plenty of takers.

XMR seems good, but DRK? what it has? The coinjoin category Supercoin is the best, with multisig trustless tech. I don't think DRK is good in anyway, just hype.

I agree, I think DRK doesnt have much else to offer considering it is a Bitcoin fork with privacy features, I think it has had it's reign but there are many anon currencies working hard to take it's place. Whether XMR will take it's place only time will tell but there are many eyes on Monero. "Darkcoin" sounds a bit childish to me but "Monero" has some clever marketing behind it. Whether you're english, spanish, french, asian etc. the word "Monero" sounds native in almost every language.



"Darkcoin" is like MySpace
"Monero" is like Facebook

No it won't. We'll at least not significantly.
Sorry to have to say it, but LTC is the only sustainable and viable aLTCoin out there.

The arguments about which anon coin is best are really pointless. The model is not going anywhere. It's not needed by the mainstream, and to go somewhere, it needs mainstram adoption.

BTC is a pile of crap, but it has that mainstream appeal, and even has a body (self-appointed) making waves for it and spreading propaganda in the mainstream media.

DRK was a good coin, better than the majority, but its days are numbered before it joins the likes of XPM as a respectable episode in crypto history.

I did not say it is not working, I said it has an old centralized mixer system, there are better technologies out there today, for example trustless multisg system implemented by supercoin.
This is not non-sense, stop promo and hype and look at the technologies and facts!
So you're saying why use something good when there could be something better out there?
Why buy an S5 now when in 10 years we you could have an S15?
I'm not going to comment what is better and what isn't. Darksend is constantly being improved. Even if it has an 'old system', it was and will be improved. Ring signatures are great too (XMR), that doesn't mean that DRK is not anonymous, or "anonymous enough".

anon needs more attention. it doesn't need my anon is better than yours. they are all better than 99% of the alt-coins out there.
This guy is right. The coin X is better than coin Z nonsense has to stop at some point. You don't even realize what could be created if all these developers were on the same project.

Well that's just an ignorant statement. Stop reading and spreading nonsense. How about you go there and try it out yourself. DarkSend+ works.
The anonymity is there and is proven. As for planned features, they are just planned for now, the same goes for the features that XMR 'is going to have in store'.

+1

spreading FUD on these issues is a waste of everyone's time.

Darkcoin may rise again...

But Monero XMR will soon be taking crown  Grin
If the UI and functionality aren't significantly improved, I doubt it . I've already had this conversation with Fluffypony, but promising is one thing and implementing is another.

Yes, sending around 10k XMR for 18 usd cent is so insane.
Except that the majority of people have only small amounts, and a fee of .1 XMR to send say 1 XMR is not practical.

Yeah but hopefully they'll be ok not needing to send $1.85 around for the few weeks we need to roll out a permanent fix:)
How many MB were added to the blockchain as a result of the attack?

22mb more than the August average.
