If there will be no new features and only merging Zcash changes that Zcash and every other Zcash clone also have, then why would people use this over the others?

great question, who will answer it?

@frederick (1 of 3) For me, there are a lot of things that I can see being distinct... 1. Foremost is the scarcity issue. All these coins that you mentioned are currently well over $100 just for 1 denomination of currency. This is primarily due to the level of scarcity people have built into other coins due to max supply of only a few million, when we have 5 billion people in the world today. Bitcoin, LTC, Monero, Zcash, ETH, etc... will NEVER be adopted fully for this reason... the currency needs to be within reach of the working poor / middle class for it to be truly useful for things such as buying a gallon of milk, or a cup of coffee. and I am sorry but nobody within this socioeconomic strata are going to sit and try to calculate "do I spend" .0001 LTC for my cup of coffee, or is it .0001?" - Nobody is going to do that. Now, with BTCZ, there is a 21 billion coin supply, so in a theoretical scenario, every person on earth today could have at least 4 coins each assuming all things equal. because of this amount we will never see this coin going to $20k per coin, but $3.00 per coin is a very real possibility in the long term future. which at this point, buying a gallon of milk would cost approx 1 BTCZ

@frederick (2 of 3) ... Currently, the only other coins that have any kind security or lets just say, Privacy are Zcash, Monero , Zencoin, or Hush.... without going into the details regarding premines / support / founders fees the biggest distinction that can be made is for adoption feasibility. You say we support anarchy, I completely disagree with this and here is an examples why. Do you realize that everything you buy with a credit card / debit card is tracked by Big data for credit agencies? furthermore did you know that those same agencies are drawing a conclusion of your creditworthiness based off what you buy on daily basis? This is huge... for example, one of the biggest known indicators that a person is credit worthy is if they buy cup coasters?.... Insane right? But happens!, This is literally being used to decide, how much you will make (if your job looks at credit) or if you can own a house, or how much you get charged for credit.... all of this matters because currently you have no real good options to transfer money without big data seeing what your doing and forming opinions about you in the process. Other than walking around briefcases full of money for any major transactions you make, and even still they are going to want to know what you are using it for when you withdraw it. THIS is a big reason why you need and should demand privacy.

@frederick (3 of 3) Lastly, Perhaps the most biggest things about this coin is that its not distinct in that it is following the same path of development as Bitcoin, and LTC.. There is no premine, no ICO, no central development authority... Yet you still have so many people stepping forward to do things to make it easier, and more useful to use. This is what ultimately will make this coin great, Not whitepapers, or well known devs... but because any developers out there can bring an idea forward and revolutionize the entire project... This is the ultimate strength of the project, and because of this it will continue to grow. I hope this helps with your concerns.
