Overall impression is good so far, mining some, but I'd really want to understand better how this coin will differentiate itself from XMR, ZEC and other more modern "anon 2.0 / 3.0" coins
I'd suggest you check out our whitepaper at bulwarkcrypto.com
There is more than enough information there to educate you on why we're different.
Humor me please? I've read and stumbled a bit at differentiating (aside from the egalitarian focus of BWK)
Well for starters, asking what the difference between BWK, XMR, and ZEC is a loaded question. The real question you're wanting answered are the difference between Zerocoin, Ring, and Zerocash. All of which can be found with a little research.
As far as privacy and our development is concerned, we're working on implementing zerocoin, which was discussed in the whitepaper. We also plan on developing a Bulwark Secure Home Node where people can host masternodes or stake their coins locally over Tor/Onion and not need to be concerned with being DDOSed, also discussed in the whitepaper. All software will be open source and a hardware shopping list (buy this on Amazon, etc..) will also be provided so that anyone interested in partaking can set it up themselves and enjoy a solid open source development project.
Anything beyond that, at this time, is not being discussed publicly until we're further along.
