ETN was never billed as a privacy coin. Monero was just its base. Moneros privacy features were turned off
And no one ever said ETN was a cell phone coin either. ETN has its own cell phone for marketing purposes in South Africa.
Initially, there were plans for ETN to become involved in the gaming industry, but it has evolved past that long ago.
KYC is necessary for the business partnerships critical for Mass Adoption.
No one has ever said Mass Adoption is automatic. It will be a long and hard road, but well worth the wait to those who have patience.
Yes it was.
And no, KYC is not necessary for mass adoption. Thats all BS. Many top coins are already used masively and they dont require KYC.
ETN will never reach mass adoption having that dead weight (KYC) on top.
Good luck.
ETN had privacy features. And stated so. Anything beyond that, youd be hard pressed to find any statements that would fall under ...ETN promoting privacy as a defining feature... Or making privacy stand out...or it mentioned as something that was a part of reaching our goals.
We had it. We got rid of it.....the ring sigs with little fanfare about it before or after.
KYC may not be part of other projects roadmaps, thats ok.
KYC is not a bad thing.
KYC creates opportunities
Believe it or not, and you are we know with the "not" @GoldenOrder, (and thats ok) KYC opens alot of otherwise closed doors.
These doors may not be required to have in other successful projects, but we search out these doors, as they are business partnerships.
As we know, some say ETN is too centralized, that KYC is a mistake...
ETN has always planned on being a unique, knew it would be somewhat disruptive in an space where the decentralized ideology thrives...and for good reasons in many many ways.
There are many projects on the other side of the spectrum, and thats not to say that they dont make business partnerships.
ETNs strategy includes many partnerships that are possible because of KYC
