This is helpful thankyou. I'm thinking the best way to explain the difference here then will be through the escrow aspect. No other coin is treating it that way yet from my understanding. There are however other coins offering a mixing that occurs across a network of equal nodes.

Would you be willing to make a similar pledge to an animal rights group? That would very quickly dispel the criticism and there is little risk to your personal wealth at this point. I've only pledged my donations starting at basically a %5000 percent growth. If/when that happens, any of us interested in the long term prospect of this project should be more than happy to donate some of our new found value. This is how its worked for many coins. Seeing as there is no premine and anyone holding coins, including devs, obtained them on equal ground, its up to the community to make the charitable aspect work. Promises are good. We need lots of promises from many coin holders besides myself. Dev pledges are of course the most respected though. . .
