Sorry if this has already been answered.
Three questions:
1) Was there any consideration to create the coin with eternal inflation of <1%? To keep future generations in hundreds of years interested?
2) Are there any anonymous capabilities built into this coin?
3) Will this coin have side chains enabled? (I feel this is important to compete with Bitcoin, if Bitcoin does one day gain side chains)
1. The whitepaper theme was to convince Bitcoin to adopt this technology, therefore it will be as close to Satoshi's specifications as possible. We start at 50 aicoins created every 10 minutes, the rate halving every four years for a total of 21 million aicoins.
2. We want to take AI Coin mainstream and that means whatever privacy is built into the latest Bitcoin Core version we will have too. In addition, AI Coin encrypts all message traffic between its peers, and has gateways for client access, so a service like blockchain.info for aicoin would not be able to assign IP addresses to transaction endpoints.
3. Regarding sidechains, when Bitcoin Core supports them, AI Coin will also because we stay current with Bitcoin Core. We are launching on version 0.9.3, and after the network is proven stable we will migrate to Bitcoin Core version 0.10.0 or 0.10.1 if that gets released in time. Part of the motivation for sidechains is the notion that Bitcoin is not suitable for all the world's transactions. Gavin famously said, "why would I want my coffee purchase on the blockchain". But AI Coin actually wants to handle all the world's transactions. AI Coin has a rationally designed network - a super peer well connected ring, and spokes out to ordinary peers. We will not overbuild the infrastructure. Where Bitcoin replicates its blockchain on 10000 plus full nodes, AI Coin needs only about 50 blockchain archiving peers with suitable geographical and jurisdictional diversity. Given such redundancy in peers, AI Coin peers can each use inexpensive disk drives in non-redundant configurations. The cost per stored byte is such that AI Coin can store transactions indefinitely for 100x lower transaction fees relative to Bitcoin. The AI Coin dust level is correspondingly lower relative to Bitcoin - i.e. if an aicoin had the same price as a bitcoin, then the aicoin transaction fee would be 100x lower in fiat value. Furthermore, because the AI Coin network is so much less expensive to run, the transaction fees should cover the expense when the mining reward diminishes in the fullness of time.
