I read the entire description above, but I'm still uncertain as to what the purpose of the coin is. Being a "fair, efficient, and stable" blockchain is an altruistic and admirable goal, however it would be helpful to know what Swap has in mind to set itself apart from being another Monero clone.

For instance, I understand Haven has an ultimate goal of "offshoring" being its primary attractive feature, even if there exists some criticisms as to its viability. Therefore, my question is, does this project have any longer-term goals in mind? I understand it's a smaller project with a small dev team, but I'd still like to hear your perspective on how Swap can distinguish itself and become a viable competitor to more established coins.

I can respect the lack of pre-mine and the tweaked difficulty algorithm paired with Ethereum-like block times. From what I've seen, this is a first for a Cryptonight-based coin. The focus on Cuckoo is also rather interesting considering it isn't a remarkably common PoW algorithm but has some appealing characteristics. These traits make Swap distinctive, nevertheless, what is going to draw the average crypto investor to Swap, or the average person who doesn't particularly care about pre-mine, block times, or difficulty? It would be interesting to know where the team plans to take the coin so those of us interested in holding Swap for the long-term have something to look forward to.

To sum up what I'm looking for, it would be interesting to get some clarity on Swap's objectives and long-term strategy.

Anyway, great work so far! I'll be following the project closely.
