Coin Information
DarkCoin aims to be the first privacy-centric cryptographic currency with fully encrypted transactions and anonymous block transactions. These features are a work on progress and will be released in stages in the near future.
DarkCoin uses a new chained hashing algorithm approach, with many new scientific hashing algorithms for the proof-of-work. This is so that the processing distrubution is fair and coins will be destributed in much the same way Bitcoins were originally. ASICs will be much more difficult to make for these algorithms and will take years.

How does DarkSend anonymize transactions?:
As of version 3 beta, DarkSend is almost completely anonymous.
