seem NUD is the only true anon con.

and they will introduce ruduced blockchain soon.

Where is the evidence for NUD being anonymous?

Good question.  It would probably be a Google-esque give away, in which the boon is granted in order to create an ecosystem in which a novel business model is profitable.  For example, a financier-driven competitor would be similarly open-source (but community-oriented only in the degree required to avoid an immediate fork before the ecosystem was up and running) and be optimized for lending, leverage, and scripting contracts.  Ethereum, anyone?  They are funded by Goldman-Sachs alumni.  Their marketing has been brutal in its consequences for BTC.  Since their cronies run the governments in North America and Europe, prosecution for securities law violations seems questionable.

He's not trolling. He actually thinks that.

Which is hilarious. Especially coming to this thread of all places.

How would it differ substantially from bitcoin?  

Unless you're talking about philanthropy, whoever funds this project will expect something in return.  What is it?

It is interesting. I like many others are worried about jl777's possible over extension, considering how many projects he's currently running. Although he insists that this is the optimal way for him to work.

From an investment stand point I have no real opinion either way. James seems convinced that he will be able to provide significant profits to investors by offering his services through the superNET GUI that will be present in all the wallets participating in the network. I'm not really in any position to judge it as an investment in that sense since I'm not really familiar with how his other projects intend to make money. It's quite possible that he is right and the consolidation of features in to one GUI accessible by a large group of people will be a source of massive profit. Sounds plausible I guess.

But I'm mostly interested in it as a spectator. I would very much like to see him pull this off technically. As it's something that's never been done before and does actually have potential to change the game so to speak. I would like to see it all come together like he says. And I'm also eagerly awaiting any attention from the "we hate anything that's not Bitcoin" community.

Easier said than done. 

You make certain assumptions there, for which I would like to see evidence.  Evidence would certainly make me much more positively disposed to James' ... projects.

Assumptions that his other projects make money? I have no idea personally, but unsurprisingly he's convinced they will. So I guess I'd believe him until I see evidence other wise, the fact that people are investing millions of dollars in his projects suggests something at least.

Until recently jl777 was just a vaguely familiar name to me that was somehow related to NXT. I've only recently learned about him being responsible for creating all these assets valued at millions of dollars. That sparked my interest and from what I can tell he's created the NXT Multi Gateway which is currently in use, so at least on that end there is evidence that he's been producing something. I don't claim to know much about what he's doing, I'm just an observer with no vested financial interest giving my opinions. I honestly don't know either way and I'm just waiting to see the results of all these projects.

I guess you could boil it down to the fact that there is big money involved and apparently code as well. If it were just a bunch of money I probably wouldn't be so interested. It seems like he has a lot of work ahead of himself though.

Use more than 1 wallet? Plausible deniability is such a nice toy. And why password? Give them a viewkey to whatever wallet you want to have exposed. Ideally you can even password protect a wallet with different keys who then unlock whichever viewkey you want to release, like the hiddenos feature of safeguard and truecrypt.
