This seems like it will do a mediocre job trying to solve many problems rather than solving one problem well.

Don't understand why I need it. Lots of complexity to replicate features in centralized services that I don't have a strong need to be decentralized.

Am I missing something?

Blogspam, please replace URL with https://www.mercuryprotocol.com/

Didn't realize reporting on things is blogspam . . . There's a clear link to both the site and the whitepaper in the article.

Obviously your effort is appreciated, but in this case it really does seem that the story is the site itself and not your article (which is just 3 paragraphs and contains no new information).
