Hey KingCaper,
Hope everything is well during this time of global uncertainty. Do you think the future direction of MOIN would maintain its privacy roots? As in, where ever the project ends up, would it still have a privacy focus?
In regard to financing the project, I think ilog had a good idea about taxing the staking rewards. It just would give the project constant source of revenue, while a business model is established.
In regard to the MOIN project itself, I like the path that Brave has taken with their browser, leveraging blockchain as method of advertising obfuscation, and when ads are viewed the rewards are given to the brave project. Maybe something similar could be done with MOIN, but with mobile encrypted instant messaging or emails?
