...taking minutes to log in to the website, and then when i try to trade, it errors out and i have to log in again. I've been in this loop for at least an hour.

Is the app any better?

Thanks to all for the answers!

One final question: the NAV website offers several downloads. I just want a wallet to keep my NAV in. Will the thin client do this?

Great, thanks! That takes care of my questions except for the first two of my purple questions in post #21683 above. Thanks to all so far for the info!

Thank you. I understand the decentralized part. It's just that I don't know which part of the software is not open source.

More good info. Would you please answer these questions?

     Instead of sending NAVcoin directly to the receiver, the wallet encrypts the receiver address and sends the transaction to one of the addresses provided by the randomly selected processing server. What information about the originator does the processing server know about (originator IP, wallet address, amount available to spend, etc.). When this server receives this transaction, it creates a transaction of arbitrary size on the Subchain which it sends to a randomly selected outgoing server.
    This Subchain transaction has the receiver address and the amount of NAVcoins to send, encrypted and attached to it. When the outgoing server receives the Subchain transaction, it decrypts the data, randomizes the transaction amounts and sends NAVcoins to their intended recipient from a preloaded pool of NAVcoins waiting on the outgoing server. What is the potential that the decrypted data can be viewed by the server operator and/or logged by the server operator?.
    After the outgoing server has sent out the randomized NAVcoins to the intended recipient, the incoming server will join together any NAVcoins that have been processed and on the next transaction cycle send it to the outgoing server to replenish the pre-loaded pool of NAVcoins for future transactions. What is the size of the preloaded pool of NAVcoins?

Thanks for the answers! Just so I'm clear, "decentralized" = 100% open source?

Also, about 100% anonymous, Monero says they are too (and shadow, etc.). How are they not 100% anonymous and Nav is?

Hello, I'm new to this so please bear with me. I read the past 10 pages of comments and the website but can't find answers to these two questions:

1. Are all parts of this coin's software fully open source with no closed source software at all?

2. How is this coin better than Monero?

Thanks!

The main chain for nonanonymous transactions is open source but as far as I can tell the side chain that enables anonymous transactions is closed source. Is this correct?

Is any part of the navcoin code for anonymous transactions closed source?
