For years DCG has worked tirelessly, an uphill struggle, to reverse the stigma of dash being a “privacy coin”. During this time, however, dash has also gained a lot of free press coverage purely because of it’s privacy features. Personally, I’d rather DCG embrace the bad boy image, leverage the notoriety and gain some street cred for rejecting the authority of others. But they didn’t, they invented the matchstick but decided not to light the fire.
Dash is both the good guy and the bad boy of crypto, the schizophrenic. In contrast, bitcoin occupies a comfortable position, beyond the consideration of de-listing. The recent de-listing of dash from ShapeShift makes the case that bitcoin remains untouchable, no fear of reprisals from regulators.
But I think there is a solution that DCG would welcome, a branding fork. To remain 100% compatible with the dash chain while having a Darkcoin branded desktop wallet. Very much like Linux Mint is Ubuntu without the fluff. Or that Dash Electrum reworks the mixing function. In theory, other privacy layers could also be implemented, such as Dandelion++, STONEWALL or Tor by default. This would, however, have to be a community effort and nothing to do with DCG. Is there enough momentum to create such a thing?
