Exactly that was my point. Immagine if he change his mind and start promoting XC because he recognizes the superior tek behind it. However if he is honest I don't really see why he should not do it. The fact is is he Honest?
The question is: Can you handle Honesty?
Honestly the solution of trusted parties to conduct transactions would not be considered as "superior tech" but rather as a joke by those who are "tech experts". It goes against what Satoshi did when he invented trustless transactions.
If Dan has found a solution to make it trustless, that's a win right there. Otherwise you'd better keep silent until this is fixed. Trust me when I say you don't want people ripping you apart in a convention for presenting problematic tech as superior.
Every anon currency has holes at the moment.
DRK is currently vulnerable to the pattern matching that Chaeplin used on earlier versions of XC. XC has upgraded to multipath technology in version 1.5 and has now resisted cracking attempts.
MRO suffers from blockchain bloating.
The current version of XC is not 100% trustless yet but that is coming in version 2.0. If that also incorporates the trust learning algorithm that was previously mentioned that would make XC > than DRK in another aspect. To remind you, DRK transactions though "trustless" due to multisig are still vulnerable to bad nodes which will block the transaction. XC's trust learning algorithm will learn the bad nodes and lead to a stronger, more efficient network.
Don't forget as well that XC nodes can be run in ANY wallet. You don't need to setup a server to run an XC node like you do with DRK. Just open your wallet and away you go.
With encrypted messages on the way and other "blockchain 2.0" coming, XC stands to be the ultimate Privacy Platform and I know a lot of people will welcome the opportunity to "get in early" before more people learn about it.
