What is the main advantage of an anonymous coin ? To hide what you bought and from who. When are people interested in this: tax avoidance and black markets. The only exception I know is maybe people wanting to hide they bought gold/silver or if they maybe paid for sexual services.
I am not saying that I don't value privacy of my purchases, even if I buy pineapples and yoghurt. But I doubt many people really care a lot about that. Merchants will probably prefer it to hide they sold something so they don't need to pay taxes on it. I think that if you really believe that NAV will mainly be used for honest activities than I think you are not being realistic. Why would I need any other crypto other than Bitcoin to buy groceries ? People are using Bitcoin right now to buy coffee in a cafe despite Bitcoins transaction taking 30 minutes. If I read your reply I have the feeling you want to compete against Bitcoin and win the fight. But I don't think that is the right path to go. Overtaking Bitcoin is almost impossible.
I am not claiming I am right and I am always open to change my mind about this. But then I need strong arguments which at this moment I didn't come up with one yet.
Money v Digital Money
Centralization v Decentralization
When you're Father gives you $1000 dollars cash for the first time and there is 0 accountability and no one is watching.
He says" Son," you can buy what ever your heart desires
What do you do?
You have 4 choices and must choose 1 only
1.You go straight to the Dark Web to purchase Drugs
2.Buy your self a Playstation 5 & Battlefield VR 2017
3.Buy your Father and a Gift
4.Give it All to charity
As you can see everyone has different choices and Digital Money gives you the same Freedoms and Choices
Not everyone will run to the Dark Web with NAVTech Anon
Bitcoin is slow. I would never use a Bitcoin powered payment card to purchase coffee Bitcoin is only King as it's the Original.
What is happening in the NAVCoin Project
NAV Coin is evolving the Blockchain further - Faster,Secure,Private & Power Efficient
All that is required is a USD/Nav or CNY/Nav starting point and user experience would come close to except able when making your coffee purchase
Bitcoins Path in energy consumption
Is there an end to how much hashing power consumption / electricity will be used to power a Decentralized Economy
Crypto Currencies to survive need to become extremely power efficient to go the distance or this mass scale Decentralization experiment is doomed to failure. The Blockchain size needsto evolve into something that so compressible and tiny heading itself into the Quantum Computing arena so transactions and record keeping flow quickly
Bitcoin MUST evolve and Crypto coins like NAVCoin must lead the way
Imagine electronic appliances of the future producing crypto currency as well as providing another function with extreme power efficiency. Like a Alarm Clock, Your Phone or Car
Altcoins are the Future and NAVCoin is playing a vital role in that evolution
