Been testing the hell out of darksend, and it is working much better. Anonymized balances are displaying correctly. The progress is updating properly. Currently i have the max rounds set to 16. A lot of the recent updates ive been working on are just the missing pieces of darksend and instantx. I've also added Rpc commands so that your able to use darksend from the daemon and "getinfo" now includes your darksend balance. Now that I'm more confident darksend is working correctly I can move onto diagnosing the problems with InstantX and start looking into some payment processors as promised.

Another thing thats been added is the ability to stake and run a masternode on the same client without affecting each other. The only downfall to this is you will have to manually split up your coins if the amount your sending is 10 000 and you do want them to stake. Part of this function also denies all Collateral inputs and Denominated inputs for staking. So the denominated and collateral amounts for darksend are not affected while staking.

Currently there are no immediate plans for a hardfork. But i have been make a list of things that need to be done for the next.

I do some some questions for the community regarding LiteMode which does disable a lot of features. Currently it disables DarkSend and Masternode functionality. Although if your running a remote masternode you are still able to control it. So I was thinking to make the wallet even lighter I could disable Stealth messaging and the Masternode manager page. This would be done as easily as adding "litemode=1" to your transfer.conf file. Remove this line and the new functions will appear ! Let me know what you guys think.

EDIT:
One of the things I will need to do. The client, while in lite mode doesnt pick up any masternodes for staking. So Currently only darksend would be disabled with litemode=1
