BTCD is 'I Can't Believe It's Not Monero!'

'Dark Teleport' is something entertaining from Star Trek (campy sci-fi), not a useful description of the underlying technology.  Anon is a hard problem; since BTCD can't clearly and succinctly name and explain what breakthrough concept and/or algorithm allows it accomplish anon, just stick with the real thing.

Funny how Bitshares just fly's past $100 million yet Monero seems to be stuck at being a small timer...

Definitely DB, and definitely network improvements.

On the GUI, many in the broader user community may find the the third party GUI developed by Jojatekok to be sufficient. He's continued to put a lot of work in and definitely has a following. I can't try it myself because I'm a Windows free zone, but I would encourage others to test and give him constructive feedback.

I am curious to see where bitshares ends up in a week or two.

I just came across this on BitShares X: http://prestonbyrne.com/2014/08/17/dont-walk-away-run/

It is a version of stealth addresses which is only part of the privacy solution in Monero. It provides unlinkability but not untraceability.

Furthermore it is my opinion that the basis for Monero (or any other reasonable coin) as a coin is infinitely more sound than BTSX. But that is just my opinion, do your own analysis and reach your own conclusions
