"Yes but cash is heavily restricted both in how much you can store deposit and withdraw - it cannot be paid electronically. Monero is great. But we need a mechanism that is decoupled from any cryptocurrency and has no market/speculatively driven price and has no support for free unrestricted transactions but rather fixed price and restricted utility usage only while providing security and privacy. It doesn't exist we need to build it. The good thing about zkEVM is that it is portable - we can launch testnet on one blockchain production network on another and once it matures make servers run"

"What made EVM seem like a better option is zkEVM rollout with native support of zero-knowledge proofs.

"ERC20 is a public specification for a smart contract API. What is implemented on top of it is not in scope of specification - it can be a freely tradable token or it can be a restricted community voucher system that we plan to build. And in any case we are not committed to ERC20 specification. It appears open simple flexible and widely supported. But if it doesn't work then it can be just a custom smart contract on EVM blockchain. Technology is neutral and ERC20 is technology - not what you think it is. It's what people do with it that matters. Saying that ERC20 is bad because scammers use it"

"Before you jump to conclusion about what ERC20 is please read the spec: It's one of the earliest very simple and the most adopted specifications for EVM blockchains. It is also extensible and flexible and allows implementing any custom logic on top while still being compatible with wallets and other interfaces - which is very important for early stage adoption.

"We did study both. Lightning is not very usable unfortunately and makes privacy and security dependent on operators preserving them. Operator trust is exactly the model we always try to avoid. Cashu also makes trust to mints a dependency and does not protect from double spends if payment is made in the absence of network connections. But fundamentally we do not want to use any freely tradable cryptocurrency or token and ours will not be freely tradable - it will have restrictions both on transactions and on holding so it's not a traditional cryptocurrency or token.

"Of course not. The model we are developing in a nutshell and simplifying a lot is this: X. Channels and community owners use fiat or crypto money to buy Community Vouchers (arcade tokens as you call them) from a smart contract. If they used any EVM tokens they will be locked in a smart contract and nobody will be able to use them at this point. For anything else it requires bridges and some point of trust so starting from EVM makes more sense. X. Channel owners then use these Community Vouchers to pay for server capacity to any operators participating in messaging network. X. Server owners"

"The point is not "which crypto". The point is making restricted tokens with utility usages only as @ofrnxmr called them - arcade tokens. In a way that's exactly what we are building: tokens that are only good for one purpose only - paying for servers capacity namespace and anything else related to functioning messaging network. Read FAQ: So nothing is wrong with Monero specifically other that it's not having smart contracts. We're only interested in zkEVM as in foundation for custom programming logic not as a currency.

"Initially - only via smart contract on EVM chain by trading some freely tradable tokens in exchange for Community Vouchers - as @ofrnxmr called them "arcade tokens" which is a good analogy because they won't be usable other than for paying for server capacity. While you are indeed linking your identity to the fact that you do use SimpleX network at this point you would still be not showing how it is used and which communities or channels you are paying for because zk proofs are used at the point of accepting these vouchers. At a later point we will develop bridges - to fiat money to XMR to"

"The goal is to provide privacy and security to all people not only to darknet users.

"Im not sure which planet you are on but thats what most people experience - financial transactions require KYC at some point or are heavily restricted. In EU/UK you cant buy Monero on most exchanges. So we cant have it as a hard dependency. It is very much similar to the conversations 2-3 years ago that we must embed Tor instead of developing private message routing. We didnt and we wont even though Tor is supported as an option.
