The anonymity is the biggest feature here that's going to attract some big players. I know there are other cryptocurrencies out there with real anonymous transactions but this looks far superior.
No it doesn't. It looks like SDC with the logo changed.
Again, yes, it is based on SDC in the same way as, say Litecoin is based on Bitcoin etc. etc. so that is why so many crypto wallets look the same. This is a feature of open source, to develop and change. This project will take it in a different direction and make changes. I don't know why you find it strange that one crypto is based on another. This has been the case for years. Maybe there aren't so many that are based on SDC.
ED: and it's a bit more than just a logo as I am sure you know. Why do you think there are so few SDC clones?
