An essential component of the Nym token economics is delegating tokens to mixnode operators.
This measures reputation, but it also incentivizes and rewards contributors to the ecosystem for providing good mixes, keeping the mixnet running smoothly.
It is a common #myth that using incognito mode results in untraceable browsing.
However, it must be kept in mind that incognito mode only deletes browsing history, but your IP address and activity can still be monitored. Safe browsing! 🔐
🔍 Myth: Blockchain transactions are inherently private.
🛡️ Fact: Layer 1 blockchains often expose traffic, making them susceptible to analysis. Nym Mixnet provides vital privacy protection at Layer 0, safeguarding transactions against unwanted scrutiny.
The Mixnet Contract facilitates rewards, reputation and payments, and currently contains $NYM from 3 sources:
1️⃣ A mixmining reserve to bootstrap rewards for mixnodes.
2️⃣ Tokens received to bond a mixnode.
3️⃣ Tokens received to delegate stake to a mixnode.

There is a misconception that privacy coins are tied to illegal activities. Really?
While privacy coins enhance transaction privacy, this statement is not true. Privacy is essential for dignity, security, and integrity, protecting and empowering individuals in the digital world.
Creating a backdoor for authorities equals creating a backdoor, period. Such openings are bound to be exploited.
In contrast, stronger #privacy ensures stronger security overall by preventing profiling, targeting, misinformation, and disinformation. 🔐
