This is a fascinating discussion and see both sides of the argument for both risk and reward.
The purist in me tells me to stay strong, Minerals has been, and will be built upon the original ethos of real world use without features that can be construed as P&D.
However,
Does the reward outweigh the risk? I agree that it may attract a P&D element of investors, but we as a community have been through P&D before with Mintpal add and with Bittrex before that. Even if it does attract some P&D I, (with my limited experience) would think that after a P&D Minerals would still retain a higher price than it does now, around 2k.
The thought of Minerals being worth 2x 5x 10x 2k entering into the tournament is a massive plus IMO.
I think we are on the cusp of something monumental, beyond the FDC launch Minerals holds a unique position of being the first 'real' real use coin. I've tried and tried to see another thats as close to acceptance as Minerals but can't. I'm actually staggered by some coins and their prices but lets not digress.
In summary,
I think I would favour Anon implementation as an extra feature but only if its endorsed by Minerals Dev and it does not put at risk the main objective. I have complete faith in Minerals Dev team, why wouldn't I? They have done no wrong to date!!
Keep up the good work Minerals - I'm here whatever the outcome
