I'm a little confused~

(...)

SN is combining all the blockchains and CC coins together but why are you guys working with coins that arent well known/used? Why not work with coins such as (insert decent liquidity coin here) etc...

What is and why use Boolberry, BTCD, Vericoin and other listed on the site (...).

I have the same question here after reading a bit

Quote from: supernet.org/about.php

The criteria for cryptocurrencies to become part of the SuperNET CORE is based on their technical innovation and potential for use within the SuperNET platform, as well as those which have strong development teams, commercial utility and/or large and supportive communities.

Is there anyone kind enough to ELI5 or post a link with clear info answering the following questions

1.- What is going to be exactly the role played by, for instance, Vericoin in the Supernet, with an example of real world use

2.- How Supernet is going to get more users and help vericoin and the rest of low liquidity coins to have more liquidity?

3.- Who are the Supernet users? (crypto speculators, darknet market users, gamblers... ?)

4.- Why any Supernet user is going to use vericoin to transfer value (pay joints or gamble or speculate in the crypto market) instead of BTCD or Boolberry or BTC or NXT?

Thanks

PS An infographic in the SN website could help a lot, I would gladly aid with it : )

iguanacore works with BTC, which is a well known high liquidity coin

1. you can look at is as a way for VRC to tap into the other parts of supernet. it is up to VRC to create features that are in demand by other supernet users. VRC has fiat gateway, SMS and other thing which appeal to segments of the market different than other coins.

2. via atomic cross chain trading and liquidity providing tradebots, iguana integration

3. it will be the mass market users

4. again you are asking a coin-centric question, if someone has VRC then they would have easy access to the other parts of supernet.

The power of a network is based on the network effect, so even an aggregation of many smaller coins will create a larger base, but of course the larger the coins are, the larger they are.

Also, you need to remember that before SuperNET the concept that a coin should do more than just be a bitcoin clone, this was relatively rare. I am glad to see that now this has changed quite a bit and people are expecting more from all the coins. I dont know if SuperNET had any direct impact on that or if it was just a natural progression that SuperNET anticipated.
