Kudos to you working on all this!
@gjhiggins: yeah man, awesome wallet development, keep up the good work. I'll take a closer look.
Thanks for the kind words but 'sno big deal, I'll give you a summary preview: some eye candy, plus a nothing-special, slightly buggy implementation of a primitive IRC terminal that no-one would choose over an actual IRC messaging app.
The fact that the trading tab is limited to Bittrex cuts across the principle of decentralisation and a cool appraisal leads me to conclude that it hardly justifies the effort of including it, (I was really just checking its ease-of-use).
And, as I suspected, the encrypted in-wallet messaging uses the block chain so a hard fork will be required. Is the argument for in-wallet encrypted messaging sufficiently compelling to justify the cost of a hard fork and a permanent inflation of the block chain?
Cheers
Graham
