I find it hilarious that instead of using a battle tested and widely known cryptocurrency that relies on actual cryptographic techniques, like Monero or Zcash, they’ve embraced a crypto that basically no one has heard about, no one was using, and relies on Secure Enclaves for privacy. Which are very likely backdoored by Intel and/NSA or at the very least one hack away from total compromise. SGX has had hacks already.
