Can someone summerize in few simple sentences the main idea beyond PART and why it shall be better than other like coins?
A decentralized and confidential marketplace run within the client (like OpenBazaar but better) low total cap, cold staking and I believe there will also be a currency exchange.
There's also (I think) around a dozen people working on this and they've made great progress so far, this is a serious project.
Yeah you won't hear the project team say we're better than other coins for 2 reasons.
1. PART is a a privacy token that fuels a privacy framework for dapps like the upcoming Marketplace. Confidential Transactions and Ring Signatures break the linkability and traceability of activity on the platform. Main point #1: it's not just a privacy coin like any other coin you're asking us to say we're better than, currency is just a piece of the project.
2. The privacy dapps like the Marketplace will be crypto-agnostic - it doesn't make sense to make a p2p marketplace for only 1 community of crypto users. So all coins will be able to use the Marketplace. Main point #2: Particl is crypto-friendly, hence the multiple cross-platform releationships we are building with other teams. Their users are our users.
