This looks like a truly amazing project! But I see that the roadmap is speaking about this coin having had the genesis event in December 2017 while this ANN is dated september 2018 - so which can I find the whole story of this coin? I will stay tuned from now on.
You can read the whitepaper from this Merit project, but the Merit project has a roadmap that starts in December 2017, we are positive about this project, and it also seems that the Merit project without ICO, is very interesting
