I was never offered a satisfactory response to the following question I asked a couple of days ago: If Cryptonote is not NSA proof, what does it offer over coins like Darkcoin that also give non-NSA proof anonymity ?
NSA-proof is not well defined. If you establish a goal which is undefined you establish one which is unattainable. Since you appear to consider xmr an insurmountable competitive threat I can see why you would employ such a 'disingenuous' sophistry, but i cannot see why i should take your bait.
The current plan being implemented in xmr takes it one step closer to practical immunity from a large class of attacks on aspects of transactional privacy. It is already relatively easy to use xmr in a way which makes it practically immune to some classes of attack on transactional privacy which are of interest to me and to which darkcoin is now and likely will always remain susceptible:
Darkcoin is vulnerable to fungibility crisis, just like bitcoin.
Darkcoin will likely be ready about a year sooner than any CN coin.
It's done already. Evan proved this: he stuck a fork in it - twice, so far. There is no plan in evidence to transition drk to a technology which provides competitive privacy assurrances. It seems clear that Evan is not competent to execute such a plan were it dropped in his lap.
You seem to think that by the sheer number of your words you can delude the markets into thinking drk is still a serious coin. It isn't working.
The forks are meaningless. I feel like I have to explain this so many times. It's beta software. You are clearly clueless regarding software development. To expect zero bugs during beta is beyond stupid, it's insane. In addition, the forks happened due to not enough pools updating at that time. Blaming Evan is just ridiculous. Cryptonote coins are also open to various attacks, a number of these have been detailed by Anonymint.
