It's quite funny that a lot of people think when you release an exchange the coin is worth more.. without any team behind it.
Actually it probably will be worth more, at least temporarily. The FUDers will then ask the same questions as you did and the price will drop... unless we have ready answers to those questions.
You have raised some (obvious, in hindsight) questions whose answers are vital to the mid/long term stability of voot. The Anon Exchange is crunch time for voot - at least it is for me - since it is the first major feature release, and its
2nd timely delivery and quality is vital. As you quite rightly highlight, the success of voot and the exchange relies not only on the technical release but on the details of the management of the exchange and how it relates to the voot currency. If we want a shot at the moon rather than a P&D then as a community we should get our heads together and flush out as many concerns as possible before VAnonEx is released.
On top of your four questions: my two pence worth:
5) How does the exchange promote anonymity when it is centralized and asks for name and email address on registration? Is it any more anonymous than Mintpal-on-Tor?
6) If the exchange is not decentralized on the voot network then what does it have to do with the voot currency?
