I've manged to include an update for you in the OP; back to work

Below you will find the roadmap of Phalanx and detailed information about the development plans, structured in four main phases. Thank you for your interest.

The foundation of Phalanx [PXL] was designed to mimic that of Bitcoin's for very specific reasons. In essence, we will develop four central elements for Phalanx in the short- to midterm, which are outlined hereafter.

1. The Hash Center
The Hash Center will be a platform where miners with massive mining capability could easily configure their mining rig settings to be able to
divide their total hashing power to mine multiple coins of their inputted algorithms. This will include the release of a Scrypt/SHA256 mining outlet, where (top gear) mining equipment and rigs will be made available especially designed for users without such (use ONLY your PXL to rent Scrypt/SHA256 mining rigs to mine whatever coin you want.

2. Decentralized Marketplace
We will design a (decentralized) marketplace within the same client where rig owners could offer their mining capability for anothers mining capability
(for example someone could offer x amount of SHA256 TH/s mining power for x minutes for x amount of Scrypt GH/z). Additionally, users can use crypto coins of their choosing for the mining algorithm (and power) for x amount of whatever coin. In other words:

a) Users will able to rent out their rig(s) for a set time for PXL or BTC in a decentralized fashion (only 2 parties: rig renter and rig owner)
b) Users can "swap" or trade PXL, BTC, or mining power to access other forms of miners with other users (for example, other coin algos such as Scrypt)

3. The Phalanx Lounge
The Phalanx Lounge is a multifunctional concept. First it will allow you to oversee total balances on all crypto-currency wallets and be able to mine as well as store other coins within the same QT-client (please also see point 4 as an easy and on-the-go way of control). Additionally you will be able to trade them on any marketplace (next to the known ones in the western hemisphere we will exclusively support popular Chinese ones).

The lounge will include chat functionality aiming to connect investors, daytraders and especially miners in a sense of an exclusive "Chinese whaleclub". While we target big hash farms with that concept to secure the PXL network/blockchain, all users are welcome: for that the access will be dependent on either the hash power contributed to the network or current PXL holdings. We plan to make the community vote for the necessary amount of PXL to get access every month after the Phalanx Lounge went live. In the case of extreme price volatility this time frame can be of course adjusted accordingly.

4. Control Center
As you will be able to trade PXL/BTC/other coins directly on exchanges in the QT-client, we plan to have all this functionality accessible and controllable for our users from their PC wallet or smart-devices (such as a smartphones or tablets). First and foremost we will target the Android market due to Apples strict policy towards crypto-currency applications, but with the recent addition of Bitcoin apps back into the iOS appstore we will keep the option open to release an iOS app as well.

In summary we believe that this concept will enable us to establish a solid and robust crypto-currency, backed by a secure blockchain, where future services can be build on. We don't believe in useless hype features from many quickly pushed out coins that in the end never come into existence or are useless for real life businesses. For a coin to succeed long term solid ground work has to be done, which in essence makes real life adoption possible.

Thanks for the update Dev!! I really like the direction you're planning on taking the coin

Do you have intention to include addition items in the marketplace? Like physical goods?

I'm glad I mined at the start and continued to mine throughout POW so far. It actually looks like in the sea of shit/scam coins that currently flood the market, that we actually may have found a legitimate project with a dedicated dev and a unique use case for the coin. I'll be holding and looking forward to where this path takes us.
