Thanks for that. Nice to see you writing something positive, however biased your tone. You sound heavily biased against what this coin could become. That's too bad. I know you claim to be unbiased and trying to help, but the tone of your assessment says something else. I'm always reading/listening for the tone. I used to be a cop and my experience has taught me that the tone can reveal hidden bias and motives. Yours is clear. Are you part of GroupFM?
All of your "positive" reasons have negative bias. Maybe Mindfox will release it because he said he would and he is committed to completing the project. Maybe the dev team will release the wallet because the want to get their product into the hands of the public. Your answers suggest that even if they do release it, and the wallet works, there was some kind of nefarious agenda on their part and it all worked out by simple luck. I don't know why you waste so much time here.
No, I'm not part of this GroupFM. They sound more like an academic group to me.
Yes, my general bias is negative indeed. The reason for this negativity is that I think that pumpers are abusing anonymity for their profit. It seems that nobody genuinely believes in anonymity. I believe that anonymity - if implemented correctly - might result in some very positive things. Two random examples: funding of political groups that oppose totalitarian regimes, funding of whistle-blowers etc.
"Maybe Mindfox will release it because he said he would and he is committed to completing the project." - I've already included this in my reasons ("MindFox might do it for the similar reasons" - he promised "anonymity solution" and so he must deliver it to "save his face"). Maybe I wasn't clear enough, sorry.
Maybe the pumpers didn't expect this but by promoting "anonymity" they've attracted some completely new kind of people. My guess is that these people are well-educated, maybe they are even experts in their specific fields, they don't fall for marketing claims, they are wealthy and they don't depend on cryptoprofits (are quite indifferent to price) and they may even wholeheartedly support their ideals or political/economic ideas. Pumpers are just not used to deal with this kind of people.
Yes. That is basically what GroupFM claims. It's interesting that you posted a link to their Reddit post.
Ok, so I will ask you what I asked them: If you are truly just trying to help the community move toward a quality anonymity solution, why aren't you posting on the other anon coin threads? Why not DRK, XC, Monero, Burn, Voot, Cloak, etc, etc?? Why only Crypt? With the exception of one post, all of your posts have been here and you created your account when Crypt was rallying. Very suspicious. The other coins have been pumped. Some multiple times. DRK was pumped significantly more than Crypt. WHY aren't you posting to those threads Mr Bremen? The volume has left Crypt for the moment and is focused on VRC. Why are you here? Why aren't you "asking constructive questions" to the Cloak devs? Or the Burn devs? You are showing a specific bias against this coin. Not the others.
If you care so much about the technical aspects of these coins as a whole and you feel that Crypt will not fit the bill, why aren't you lending your critical thinking skills to the other anon coin threads? Answer, you've got a bone to pick with these devs and this coin. That's why you are here.
I doubt that any anonymity solution of any coin (that you mentioned) has any serious potential to become truly anonymous solution. Maybe zero-knowledge-proof based coins can achieve this, I don't know.
For example, any CoinJoin (DarkCoin) implementation will not bring "true anonymity". Some other coins have some really - sorry for expression - stupid ideas (using exchanger as mixers, anyone?). VeriCoin doesn't provide any kind of anonymity. VeriSend is service built on top of vericoin, but there is no guarantee that the operators don't store logs. They may even run away with your coins. So this is no serious anonymity solution at all and it seems that they are not promoting it very heavily.
CryptCoin was very hyped because of its "true anonymity". So I'm hanging mostly in this thread.
Btw, the DRK community seems to be very aware of the problems with their implementation of CoinJoin and some members are capable of providing quite detailed technical explanations (see answers from AlexGR, he also answered some of my questions).
