What differentiates you from other anno coins implementing cryptonote already making progress with similar tech? Coins such as Phore, Shield, Colx, etc...
Just curious since the theme as I've come to notice it is new coins tend to release when their developers notice market movement for particular features. POS coins drove tones of POS copies. Same when MNs were first a big deal. Anno coins are doing great at the moment and so now here is another one...
Not trying to be difficult I am just genuinely curious to understand what in your mind will set you apart? Limiting to scrypt already seems like a hindrance. ICOs haven't been as popular in this area (anno coins). No premine/ICO is usually a more popular option due to the typical trend of immediate dump post ICO once any ICO coin first hits an exchange.
Actually these are very valid questions so I don't take this as you being difficult in any way. We don't want to just be thought of as another anonymous coin. That actually is not the direction we are trying to take at all. We want to be an inclusive network that offers anonymity. Anonymity is just a perk, not a selling point. Anonymous coins are a niche market and we refuse to cater to any specific niche. Our goal is to entice the entire cryptocurrency market with the benefits that all of the "niche" coins offer.
We don't want anybody to focus on the PoW portion. Like previously stated, it is nothing more than to jump start the network and we don't wish to treat it as anything greater.
Now to be completely honest with you on the latter part of your question. We are not focused on the value we can be sold for on exchange. We are focused on our adoption and application aspects. We do not want to be another "Pump'n'Dump" coin. We want to actually bring a legitimate use-case that the whole community can benefit from. If there's anything else I can answer then please feel free to ask. We're very receptive to community feedback.
