As someone suggested I will spend 5% of the gathered BTCs on the Marketing of CraigsCoin
Would it be dumb to obtain an existing or develop an ANON system for the coin?
Since it's a decentralised AD system, some people may prefer to hide their identity when obtaining coins for advertising. This could open the gate for a wider audience.
(Not implying anything illegal, but it's a preference for a lot of us)
Hmm when thinking about anon one must think who will use anon. And analyze possible privacy attack vector. There are 3 major groups of users expected for this coin:
1. Sellers
2. Buyers
3. Traders
Whos privacy do you think must be protected at first place?
Sellers because they are the ones who need to buy CRAIG to be able to post ADs as far as I understood. ANON wouldn't be useful when purchasing from the exchanges because they would not go with the optional ANON send feature when giving you the coins, but atleast you could hide your coins when transfering between 2 of your own wallets before posting an AD.
For 2 and 3 it doesn't really matter (except when a trader wants to avoid local financial regulations in the future).
See the problem is that to sell most of normal things you need to disclose your contacts anyway (how else buyer will reach you otherwise?) So protecting the seller in general kinda feels irrelevant. Also 5 coins per ad is such a low price so I imagine most of people will be able to easily get enough free CRAIGs to have several ads postings. For example any site that parses CraigsCoin can giveaway 5-10 CRAIGs to new users to allow couple free postings in order to promote themself. Remember Ad listing fee is there only to prevent spam. It is not intended to fill my pockets with gold
Contacts don't need to be disclosed when for example selling virtual goods and services through BTC (or any crypto). But for physical goods you need to, you are right in that.
Hmm, let's imagine I sell virtual service. Hosting or VPN or something of this sort. I payed 5 CRAIGs fee to post ad. What kind of threat I should expect and from who? I mean what help will be the Anon for me?
I'm asking this because to implement effective solution I need to elaborate possible attack vectors and threats.
obviously anon is needed for those who want to post illegal stuff. But it may be good for the coin, more demand
