I mean darkcoin is here now and beginning to roll.
Is Darkcoin a decentralized solution?
darkcoin:
Can anyone take a currency named Darkcoin seriously?
It sounds like a fifth grader came up with that name.
Seriously people. the day there's a digital currency that is totally impossible to track is the day that governments
stop tolerating it and start cracking down hard. It will be the domain of pedohiles, drug dealers, prostitutes and maybe strippers in the future.
There is no other form of currency in existence that is impossible to track via forensics. Even Fiat can be tracked if the amounts are large enough, that's why money laundering is a thing and also a thing that is illegal.
Bitcoin, Nxt and other currencies are only traceable if you have access to the bank records at the source. Retailers, regular people have no way to know who sent them crypto unless that person broadcasted the address in connection with their name somewhere in public. That is plenty of anonymity for anyone who is not doing something fucked up.
I seriously see the creation of mixers to be a threat to the entire crypto universe and I wish people would stop pursuing it for NXT.
Governments may just make mixing illegal but they may also just decide to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
