quotes from the white paper :
Transparency
As I've mentioned, we are all veterans in this environment. One key thing lacking as we've seen is genuine transparency. Our development process, technologies used, our IPO expense ledger, IPO status and basically everything relative to this project are completely in the public's view. One of the most beneficial parts of being this transparent as we see it, is the ability to communicate on a much more productive level with our community. We want to know what features you like, dislike, or would like to see integrated into Neos. Our ears and eyes are wide open. Let us know what you think and we'll make sure we provide you with what you want – and the best possible version of it.
Anonymity
What is the true meaning of anonymous? Being unknown. The approach taken with Neos for anonymous transactions, completely eliminates any possibility of the transaction surfacing on the blockchain. With a multi-homed farm of secure nodes, transactions sent using “Arbitrush” send from the original sender, through the nodes, and to the recipient. Proof of Transaction is an option that can be either enabled or disabled in the Neos settings, or on-the-fly selectively during the send process. After our initial announcement, someone in the community requested the feature of selective PoT. Within 2 hours it was implemented.
