After reading this, Betamax vs VHS came to mind. "Being the best" doesn't mean guarantee winning the market.
While the bolded part is completely accurate, we don't think that specific comparison makes sense in this case because with our approach we are solving some fundamental issues that our competitor's systems suffer from instead of only having a few small differences.
We could choose the easy way and use an existing popular model and only marginally improve whatever we could, but starting from a system that again, is fundamentally flawed, we could have never been satisfied with what we were offering and it would feel like we are stabbing our users in the back since we knew we could do way better.
We took the risk and implemented what we believe is the best privacy service currently available and later today we will also completely eliminate the withdraw fee making the service completely free for those that don't donate voluntarily. So if even in these conditions we won't become the most popular solution after a few months at most it certainly means that there is no true demand for real Bitcoin privacy and in that case with regret we will shut the service down, but it'd really be a shame if that happens.
By taking this route we basically made a bet that users will understand the unique features and advantages that we offer and we hope that it will pay off in the end. If not then we only lost the funds that we spent on marketing and that's not a big hit for us by any means, we'd just be incredibly frustrated knowing that all this work was for nothing.
@whirlwindmoney excuse me if you don't want me telling you this again (I can delete this post if you want) but for me, the clearnet site is down again.
Thank you for telling us, but we are making some changes as we speak and it will be online again after we are done. Tor is online as usual
