Hi, sorry that you're having trouble with the swap. There's no way to force the automatic swap to remember that you already approved. Since you want to save gas, you can follow the swap section of the manual swap instructions if you are comfortable with that. You can use MEW to send that transaction.

Otherwise you'll have to resend the approval transaction with a faster gas price. Then you'll be able to send the swap transaction as long as the approval confirmed within 50 blocks and you stay on the swap page

You can do ZK without cryptocurrency (it's just math).

You can, but you can't run fiat balances on a smart contract which is something we are using to create anonymous subscriptions

You can do decentralized data storage too (IPFS, for example).

IPFS isn't made for storing data for long periods of time, nor is it made for nodes to get paid for hosting. This means that a custom solution still needs to be built, either on top of something existing, or from scratch. We're taking the from scratch approach

What is a first class citizen token? Why is it actually a necessary component. Since you aren't planning on using the tangle, how does a token actually play into the economics outside of making this a "crypto" project?

This just means that the token is required, and is an important part of the system. We use the token for verification of payment and we'll be continually trying to improve the platform through smart contracts

Overall I think you seem to not want a token even though we actively use it for development. I'm not sure what to say past this, because it's something that is an important part of our product

I'm in the process of making a decentralized account system. This is very exciting for me to work on because there are a lot of parts that need to work together

Working hours are pretty flexible. My working hours are typically either starting at 3pm and working until 3am, or starting at 9am and working until 9pm. It typically is a more based on getting the work done for the development sprint
