Uh, wow. lol.

I hope you forgot the quote thes in that post or something.

No bitcoin compatibility making adoption hard.  - So you're saying, that coins that aren't using Bitcoin's codebase, can't have their features implemented into Bitcoin itself like Bitcoin can easily implement Darkcoin's Masternode and everything else...? That's a good thing.

No known solution for scaling for mainstream adoption. For bitcoin based coins there is mini-blockchain. -  Incase you haven't noticed, Monero's blockchain is only twice as big as Bitcoin's, and even that will be Cut, as Boolberrie's was. Most people will run Light Clients(Like Bitcoin's Multibit), so they don't even have to download the whole blockchain.


CN transactions can be Sybil attacked, so that you'd be mixing mostly with adversary's own generated transactions. - This isn't even true. "You might ask, if it's impossible to determine which outputs are being spent, how can double-spending by prevented? CryptoNote solves this using a special ring signature algorithm (which is a modified version of existing signatures, so this is original cryptography and their security proof should be scrutinized — fortunately it is not too complicated) in which the real signing key has a key image associated to it, which must be published alongside the signature. This key image cannot be reversed to get the original key and deanonymize the sender, but if a double-spend is attempted, users will see that the same key image is used twice and reject the second attempt." Please read up on how Cryptonote Ring Signatures work, thanks.

The planned I2P implementation is susceptible to timing analysis. LOLLL, only the NSA can do that. You're just copying what Anonymint said, Timing Anaylsis is the Only way to try and circumvent Ring Signatures, and it's only possible by the NSA. Bitcoin itself is Not NSA Proof. Meanwhile, there are 101 ways to destroy drk's "anonymity"


Also, botnets run on 32 bit machines, 32 bit computers would make less than 0.1 XMR, per day. There have been no botnets owners having more than 20 botnets in their posession mining xmr. That'd mean they'd make AT Most, 10 xmr or so now. There are most likely no botnets mining this coin as of now.

Conclusion: You're copy/pasting info that you have no idea about, and listing them as "flaws" and I've just shown you wrong, take a look at Darkcoin, with it's trackable coinjoin/mixing "anonymity", it's Masternodes that can always be DDOSed and taken offline, thereby destroying dakcoin's "anonymity", and they can be centrazlied by one person or group + 101 more problems.

Strange, that you (or anyone else for that matter) didn't say anything when Anonymint made the same claim in XMR thread. Are you suggesting that Anonymint should also "read up on how Cryptonote Ring Signatures work"? - What?? Why do you continue to blatantly lie? I told Anonymint, that worrying about being NSA-Proof, should come later, after I2P is implemented.

Yes, NSA can do that. So why go through all that trouble creating a new crypto coin from scratch if even then your anonymity won't be NSA proof? You're not making any sense. THERE ARE NO CRYPTOCOINS that is NSA proof, Bitcoin is not NSA-proof. If you want NSA-Proof, get out of crypto. That's going to come, but there are (let me repeat) NO coins that are NSA proof as of right now.

Twice as big, with 1/100th of transactions. And, incase you didn't notice, I said "mainstream adoption". One of the XMR devs already explained that this is because a lot of transactions are "emtpy", go read up on previous posts in this thread while I find the quote.

It's obvious that everything, every made up "flaw" you've found, has been answered and has a solution. Now you resort to lies, just like BrilliantRocket did. Or would you like be to quote my responses to him too and about Darkcoin? Here you go:

I brought it up only once in the post..., when I was showing Darkcoin's 4 main crippling flaws...I also answered your question and stated why Any cryptonote coin is a better choice than Darkcoin.

 

Almost 100 pages of discussion after Pietilas post saying he is buying Monero. Hats off to those who rise to defend the cause but still, kinda tragi-comical.

What do you mean?

It's like he doesn't understand the argument.

Let's assume that both DRK and CN coins have enough anonymity to evade everyone except government entities. I know you think Darkcoin anonymity is trivial, but the reality is that neither you  (nor anyone else from competitor coins) can trace a transaction.

To simplify things a bit, let's assign a numerical value to anonymity. Let's say Darkcoin has a value of 2, CN has a value of 2.5 and you need 5 to achieve "true" anonymity.  Let's say that our arbitrary value of 2 is good enough to evade everyone except the NSA. A rating of 2.5 does you no additional good, because it's still less than the 5 you need. So although you can say it's technically more anonymous, that "extra" anonymity does you no practical good, while the platform that provides it actually has negatives. Can you see what I'm saying? Why would anyone looking for privacy/anonymity go with CN, if it provides no additional benefit, while introducing new problems into the equation?

edit: I know you'll try to bring nodes into this, so once again, I'll remind you that CN nodes can also be attacked. And don't say you'll have more, the bloat will diminish the number of nodes you would have otherwise had.

The conception of DRK was illegitimate, I will not buy it for this reason alone.
