Fact of that matter is that once the fork happens and masternode payments go live(and are proven to work), and darksend code is released and poked at for a week or two, all the dark markets will start accepting it, and i seem to recall something like that happening before to some upstart digital coin.
A few other coins out there have actual innovation(nxt's platform implementing colored coins is one that comes to mind), but this coin has essentially a whole budding tor relay network behind it(masternodes) in a self sustained matrix. The best part is that once dark markets start accepting it as a standard, and the price goes up? The feds will just have to buy a bunch too(if they havent already) to set up their own masternodes to spy on the network, which will just make it go higher. Im sure coinmixing between nodes can just be scaled to deal with it too.
Bitcoin has sort of done what it was supposed to do; introduce the concept of a blockchain, a magical ledger that no one has control over and anyone could see, and its fantastic for that purpose. Now its being incorporated into government and banking, and is really a gold standard gateway into any other coin. Its changed along the way but itll do just fine.
Regardless of how people are playing the markets day to day, and how many bollucks ripcoins there are, well executed concepts with real purpose is what this next generation of coins(and technology, and nature) is all about, just like the last generation.
If evans code holds up under open scrutiny, and people continue to support the growing infrastructure of the network(why wouldnt they the incentives are brill), this is going to be an important network, and i cant think of a better coin to be hodling.
Welcome Delita Heiral, good post.
