@James
The above explanations are way too technical and way too complex for most people to fully understand --me included.
I believe it would serve you -and us all- quite well if you work a bit on a much simple explanation... with analogies that work. The one about SuperNET being to crypto (Alts, I imagine you mean) what the Internet is to websites simply doesn't cut it. The internet is a highway and SuperNET is nothing of that short. In my (admittedly very little) understanding of it, SuperNET would be much more an aggregator (like Yahoo, for instance) or a specific portal with several sites linked under a common general umbrella. I may be wrong?
Also I have no doubt you have the general lines and sources of revenue quite clearly delineated in your mind for that project, but it doesn't come through clearly. You speak of "advertising", for instance... what advertising? There's no advertising revenue whatsoever in Vericoin -or in any other coin that I know of for that matter-, so how is advertising revenue going to make its way to to the SuperNET? Like I said, I have no doubt you have all that sorted out quite clearly in your mind but it would be more than convenient (and greatly appreciated) if you spend a few minutes in trying to go into it, in detail, AND in a language that the average 11 year old can understand.
I'll give you a few instances, besides the above mentioned, that are hard to grasp: "Assets" (or cryptoassets, as per your description). Which are them? Does Vericoin have any, currently? If so, which?
I am quite familiar with the NXT platform myself... which I have posted long ago I believe is the best in crypto, by far... only that the distribution sucks and I wouldn't recommend anyone to invest in something fully owned by 70 people, all of which can retire and live like millionaires if they sell off their coins. If only a couple of them do, the entire platform goes practically to zero value in price practically overnight... that's my opinion, of course. But, as it stands, I believe all sort of things can and will be built on top of that platform (will those things to be built, what you call "cryptoassets"? I also understand -hopefully correctly- that NXTventures is a incubator but I don't get what kind of assets can be monetized in the SuperNET when every tech is open source and it is going to be widely available to anyone shortly after implemented. And that would be for free, right? So I still fail to see any source of revenue....
So, again, please give me a detailed lecture so I can understand, in layman's terms, how you plan on monetizing the blockchain traffic that linking the blockchains of it's members to the blockchain of the SuperNET (is that how it is going to work?) will provide.
I'm sure I am not alone in wanting to have a much clearer vision of what the SuperNET you have envisioned is going to be, since Vericoin is going to be part of it, hopefully, core part of it. The interested parties will be as thankful as I am in advance for it.
HTML GUI locally generated allows for context sensitive ads.
open source allows tech to be copied, but not me
also, the 10000 BTC
also, the userbase
NXTventure is incubator, it allows to make a competent dev good money
it is not blockchain traffic being monetized, it is providing services users want like trading crypto at half the commission, lower price for users, but still a fee is generated. maybe you want to send VRC to a creditcard, there is fee. Privatebet is for gambling, I am sure you can understand the fees from that. other games, maybe online storage, Grid computing, jobs board.
just some late night ideas.
so services that crypto peoples are already using offered at lower cost and preferably decentralized, this is the fees.
SuperNET is a transport layer at least the part that connects all the coins together
then there is the GUI that is providing a way to use the services and showing ads.
For example we will be adding a new page to the standard GUI where you can directly trade on bter.
SuperNET is not just one thing, it is a way to connect all the coin networks together at the low level and a way to display in user friendly way at the high level.
the financing part is totally independent, but the NXTventure is concentrating on funding projects that enhance the SuperNET
Please try to understand in more details before just assuming about SuperNET.
My writing is horrible, this I know, so there are people who are making it better to understand
