I started buying BITS recently and I'm thinking about increasing substantially my position.
I think a detailed FAQ on the site would be helpful.
It seems the coin already has anonymity, something many coins are still struggling to get. It would be important to see a detailed description of the system of anonymity applied.
There are articles about the new "fiat exchange". It would increase transparency and, thus, trust, if a detailed description was offered and there was a recognition that it's only an assistance to the exchange of fiat. That it will be necessary to use the traditional means of fiat transfer.
To avoid this, I wonder if it could be created some kind of BitUSD pegged to the USD like the one created by BitsharesX. But it couldn't be on their terms, it seems their system can create BitUSD in rather lose terms, like the FED. It had to be backed by USD. Any purchase using BITS or bitcoin should be converted to USDs or another stable asset to avoid any risks of default in case of devaluation of bitcoin/Bits.
I see some value on the creation of a second coin inside the BITS system pegged to the USD:
1) The creation of a true "USD" exchange, with instant trades inside the system.
2) For the ones bearish on bitcoin, there would be a cryptocoin pegged to the USD working as a safe haven, that they could keep in their wallet.
3) Those USDs received from the sale of the pegged coin would be used to build a fund that could be used on conservative investments. Its profits (like interest earned lending those USDs, perhaps on Bitfinex, even if the rates went down a lot) could be used to support development of the system.
4) The fund should be managed by the devs or someone trusted with complete transparency, showing at every moment how much money it had. The exact number of the pegged coins should always be equal or inferior to the number of USDs in the fund.
Welcome to the coin and thanks for the input, I'll look at getting the OP rewritten this weekend, maybe hire a professional.
Regarding FIAT directly traded by us either with bits or second coin like you have said, we moved away from this idea currently as we would have to be licenced and to provide anti money laundering and anti terrorism systems and that would take a lot of funding, but will definitely look into your ideas
