Yes every ico is vapourware and yes particl is vapourware as is safex.  Safex isn't  part of the disscussion here. I guess he didn't include it because he didn't know about it or thought it wasn't worth mentioning because it's so far behind. .

It should be. It has way better features. Alpha is coming out before December 1 with the market in April. For sure not first movers, but it's not like any of the competition has reached mass adoption and the price is all relatively similar. Privacy is important and without that all the other coins are playing Ebay on the blockchain. Safex also seems to reward hodlers more. 113% dividends estimated the first 6 months if every single coin gets locked in the wallet. In terms of anonymity in the dark market it's down to Monero and Safex.   Safex is even in the liberland "vault" so it has a much better chance for mass adoption imo. The developer at Safex is a diplomat there so he has big league connections.
