I understand privacy is important to preserve Freedom in a "punitive" society.
As long as you have hiding heaven you will have people abusing the system : I believe Bitcoin Private (#BTCP) makes no sense, even if it attracts lots of folks.
What we need is a true Sybil Attack protection (i.e. remove the "pseudo-anonymity" in current cryptos)
At Gradual Change we design crypto around sovereign wallets that bind a set for randomly chosen addresses to a humans being,
making everyone responsible for their actions ... still we implemented a "no-peeking" option by having wallet protected with morphic-encryption
to have a controllable way to reveal our identity.
All forks we do propose won't change the legal frame where we have to report all our crypto activities and turn in wallet addresses, for tax accounting purpose.
We have a special way of controlling blockchain identity attributes, such that the owner decides, and treat privacy as an asset.
Still we are to test prove this in the real world ... we will keep you posted.
