Hi PNToken

Bitcoin uses IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses. Unless you take external measures to anonymize, these IP connections make Bitcoin pseudo-anonymous   And, lets not forget the outbound DNS connections to DNS seed servers! Bitcoin is certainly more anonymous than, say, Paypal or wire transfer.

As a fork of Bitcoin, we are no more or no less anonymous than Bitcoin  
Our goal of this fork is not to increase/decrease the level of anonymity but to empower Retail Merchants. And to allow people to easily launch a business and become a Retail Merchant. When Paypal (and other money transmitters) came into existence, it made it easier for consumers to send/receive money. But these methods still made life difficult for the small businesses. Now, we have crypto currencies. And, a lot of greedy companies are trying to intervene for their cut, again making life difficult for the small business owners in that process. (Please talk to us on Discord. Tell us how we can better achieve our goals. We welcome criticism too)

Who said "We are against the participation of US residents"?

• We will not allow USA users of Bitcoin to claim our coins after the fork. It is the USA govt that is against such claiming; not us!
• We want participation from USA residents. Come join our growing community. Give us your feedback and suggestions. If you are a Retail Merchant, talk to us. Or, ask our help if you want to start a small business
