snip.... I am skeptical.... snip

The most conservative aspect of my estimates is the fact that I used BC as a comparison,
which is not even an anon coin. (could have used dark you know, even when compensating for the difference in total number (12 to 1) this bumps the 80k figure to well over 300k per year for the service in question)

And here's a free tip... any coin that is not anon is going to be very seriously disadvantaged when ppl generally realize that non-anon coins (including btc btw) leave a double-wide trail engraved in digital stone.
because... At least half the wealth flowing into cc is trying to escape being tracked somewhere down the road.

I want to first thank you for not taking my words as attacking your point of view, and thank you for welcoming me, I've been paying quite a bit of attention to the crypto scene for the past few months, and we need very opinionated people like yourself here.

anon is a good feature, but it is just that, a feature, and in a few months will be a STANDARD feature among coins as an option to how we can spend our cryptocurrency. Laws of diminishing returns would say at this point, if orangecoin devs release just the anon, with no good followup innovation within a month, this coin will experience a bump to 1k-2k sats, then probably stagnate and wither. Darkcoin gets to ride the anon wave, as they were first, so their price will stay inflated due to the expansion of that feature, that is why I am skeptical of the future prices you are saying.

In order for this coin to achieve what you are aiming for, it needs new features, that no other coins possesses yet (XC is working on blockchain 2.0, VRC is working on variable PoS/SMS payments, MAST/CLOAK is working on anon exchanges, LOL is trying to get their foot in the door of League of legends, etc...), and a lot of this innovation needs to be claimed in WEEKS, not months. Coins that do break out can have a longer outlook than a few months, (BTC has yearly outlooks, LTC has no outlook (my personal beliefs IMO), and DRK has a 3 month outlook).

I want to be somewhat optimistic though, in that this is one of the first times I have seen devs have a goal, but need to discuss and adjust the inner workings of a coin with its owners, about how we would do it.

If this coin has a breakout, and it does succeed where few have, then I completely agree with your longer term outlooks, as it stands now, I think your fighting for a dream, not necessarily a reality.
