Please excuse noob question but are there any other ways besides donations and faucets that early investors can get in on Manta? Ive never used a faucet before as a means of getting coins.

All the best with your new project devs!

Thanks

The two initial ways will be through donations and faucets, although we do plan on getting on exchanges after MANTA is distributed.

MantaCurrency, hello!

AzulikProject says that

At this stage we confirm that Colin's words were right, it's not possible to apply privacy to XRB as we kown it today ( zkSNARKs).

Adding the privacy feature is harder than it may look, simply applying a ZK-SNARKs protocol (the underlying protocol of Zcash) would make the transaction time increase a lot.

What do you think about this?

While it's not possible to simply slap on zkSNARKs and have it work at the speed of RaiBlocks, with our unique implementation, we've made it possible to have 10-15 second transaction speeds utilizing distributed ledgers and zkSNARKs.

Logo design has changed. What do you intend to express with it what is behind the design?

We intended to convey stealth and speed with the dark tones, sleek design, and geometric outlines while outlining shape of the Manta Ray which is what our currency was named after.

I mean, that is cool you've done that - but it seems unworthy of a coin when things like PIVX can do 50/tps.

The 10-15 second transaction time is the for the end user, while our network will allow 1750 tp/s. Hope this helps!
