Maybe this is indeed the continuation of Bitcoin itself unfolding to areas not deemed possible in the past.

You are a man of little faith, it is not maybe. Rejoice, brothers and sisters, we're saved! This time for sure.

I am not close to destroying Bitcoin. Millions of users is still many months or more away from now (and no promises of that of course, just my goal). Baby big steps first. I will explain more soon.

I had many times promised I am not going to launch and endorse my own coin here on Bitcointalk.org. So I will need to explain how I am going to keep that promise.

P.S. we are thinking of forking Bitcoin 0.12 and making the modifications for anonymity on that. And then we will add the advances I want for my ultimate coin in stages.[/size]

Very interesting approach! And it's not because of anonymity, which in a way or another some coins provide.
The interesting part is imho that this is based on a (recent) version of Bitcoin.
Maybe some day Bitcoin devs will make themselves an upgrade of Bitcoin to make it anonymous. It gives Bitcoin a good chance to make the first steps into implementing some of the things altcoins proved that's good and needed directly into Bitcoin. It would mean the evolution quite some of us hope for...

But maybe I dream too far...

Yes I could see this also potentially making it easier to get this ~~anonymity~~privacy tech adopted into Bitcoin, but yeah maybe that is just dreaming. I think people who control Bitcoin now (China) may not want anonymity.

But also realize this technology is more about privacy. Absolutely anonymity will never exist. Ever. In any design. Period. You can use it to attempt to be anonymous to the NSA but just like Monero and Zcash, you will probably fail but YMMV. You might succeed if you are very careful about your meta data. As for privacy, that should achievable for just about everyone who uses decent anonymity technology such as this one we want to create, Monero, or Zcash. The difference is the scaling and other advantages I mentioned. Lol I was talking my angel investor and he said his computer locked up for 15 minutes because he was syncing only 1 days worth of the Monero block chain on a computer with just a regular HD not a SSD.

So maybe TPTB will embrace this technology. I don't know.

But there are other reasons to want to have this coin, if you are concerned that Bitcoin could just take the anonymity technology and leave this new coin with no USP (unique selling point). I will explain more on this soon.

Privacy that can scale to the masses is IMO more important than delusions of anonymity that can give you absolute guarantee of hiding from the NSA. No design for anonymity can ever give you such an absolute guarantee. Even I can explain to you how Monero can be unmasked by the NSA.

didnt we have an argument where I was basically saying what you are saying now? glad to see you have finally moved on to the big picture approach.
