Me neither.
I assume the 100DRK limit will also be lifted at some point - perhaps mention should be made of that?
Perhaps here: "Following the completion of RC3, experts will be engaged to inspect the DarkSend code and, once confirmed, DarkSend will become open source
and the 1000 DRK limit will be removed." - or words to that effect, assuming my assumption is correct.
the 1000 limit will probably not be removed ever
Dev has been quite explicit about not removing the limit. The idea of the 1000 DRK is that it has to be expensive to have a masternode. They are important for the network and everybody running one should take it very seriously.
I was talking about the limit on transaction size, nothing to do with masternodes. Only being able to darksend 1000 DRK at a time... why? Seems like a pointless restriction that will turn off a lot of potential users. In fact it would make DRK basically useless for exactly the kind of investors and users we need most.
I'm sorry, I missread it
As for the limit, you can always make a lot of 1000 transactions. It is not optimal, but it is not that bad.
Are you kidding? Big money is going to see that and laugh at us. Unless there is some insurmountable technical reason, it should go, ASAP.
I'm not familiar with the particulars of the Darksend implementation, but I'm guessing that it has to do with the following:
It seems that since the Masternodes themselves are only guaranteed to have 1000 DRK in their possession, and given that transactions are supposed to be anonymized by the mixing, a 1000 DRK limit would seem to be prudent for anyone who really cares about that transaction actually being anonymous. Otherwise it would be too easy to just follow the big inputs and outputs. If somebody is sending 10k DRK in one transaction, it will stick out like a sore thumb because it's unlikely that the Masternode would have 10k other coins to mix in the same transaction group. Like if I'm sending 10k DRK from Address A to Address B, and those 10k DRK are mixed with 1.5k DRK from other transactions, then at minimum I will have 7.5k DRK being directly traceable from Address A to Address B (the other 2.5k being 1k from the Masternode's holdings, and 1.5k from the other transactions).
If you're actually concerned about anonymity, it would be far more prudent to break up the transaction into as many sub-1000 DRK transactions as needed, and send them all to separate receiving addresses.
