Cool. A few concerns:
In your OP, you state in extremely small text that your whitepaper will not be available until December 2016, yet you ask for ICO funding before the release...
You also say that you will not reveal your identity. You have posted from a noobie acct.
The other privacy projects: zcash, zcoin, komodo do not share these issues. We know who the developers are. They have whitepapers. They are not asking for ICO money (except for komodo, but at least we have a whitepaper and know who the dev is).
You might not be, but you sure look like a scam if I've ever seen one.

We understand the concerns with the lack of identification from the team and we also understand how that can affect our funding. We still choose to keep the anonymity, a decision that will be mostly justified by what will happen after the protocol is implemented.
We also heard you on the whitepaper issue and are working on it.
A gun manufacturer isn't blamed for the actions people take with its products. That logic is severely flawed.
We completely agree but unfortunately we live in a post-Ross Ulbricht world and to a lot of people that logic might not be as flawed as it appears.
Ross Ulbricht went to jail for creating dark markets, facilitating the exchange of illegal substances, and a host of other criminal activities.
That wasn't on satoshi. That was on Ulbricht.
I'm all for freedom, don't get me wrong. But you cannot ask for people to give you money with no whitepaper, no product, and from an anonymous newbie acct. That's just crazy.
The ICO didn't start yet and although you can already have a notion of where we are going with the fourier protocol you will be able to get a more in dept vision before it starts.
Sure, I get a notion. A "vision" isn't enough though. That's like me starting a newbie account, creating a website, and asking people to give me money for SUPER-Zcash (like zcash, but WAY better). I host an ICO during the zcash hype. Then I say that I will produce a whitepaper to reveal my new tech to the world over a month after the ICO.
People ask me who I am? Who the genius behind SUPER-Zcash is? I tell them that it's so super secret, I cannot reveal who I am because I will go to jail.
Do you seriously not see how ridiculous that sounds?
