I think the point is there's a mysticism that goes with the word dark. It's way more punk than opaque. What the fuck is that? This is the same crap we get about the OpenBazaar name. First off it's just a name and second off you read too much into it. DarkWallet is a dark themed wallet app and there are so many themes for other software called dark and no one assumes it evil. I think it's an unfair assessment first of all.
