^ Yup. This is the real deal indeed.
I forgot to include this coin on my "next mega pump" list.
I have been waiting years for this coin! Although, their disclaimer for the alpha is kind of scary... I guess we should wait for the beta?
No seriously. The tech their team is trying to develop will make Dash and Monero look second rate.
Yup, its proper anonymity. As in direct anonymous payments, no mixers, no 3rd parties, nada.
My only real issue is that it might have difficulty scaling and I have some performance concerns that will come into effect if it achieves such larger scales.
For example verify time of a POUR is 5.4ms on an i7-4770, which gives a max processing performance on that CPU of about 200 per second per thread (I'm assuming multi-threading POUR verification is trivial) ignoring other overheads such as IO. It might take some time to sync up a couple million transactions.
Mobile device support will likely be a no-no too, as the POUR process takes about 2 minutes to run on that i7, so mobile devices will be 10x at least. Punchy hardware only please for that
Im not aware of any performance improvements recently though (and I haven't really had the time to check up), so if anyone knows of any information, I'd appreciate a link/reference to it.
