I'm itching to reply to you! But I have to bite my tongue for now.
I could just starting talking about my ideas and try to raise a lot of money for vaporware to build them. But it seems that Vitalik et al are much better at that than I am. I can't fly to the USA and do talks at conferences right now. I think I better to just try to release something that is already developed. That would be more within my style, but I also know how to talk a good talk when the time is right for that. There is a video of me linked some where on BCT (probably Ethereum Paradox thread).
In a perfect world, I'd have a super compatible and dedicated co-developer right now. But I don't know who he is. I talk with jl777 but he has his own project already. And he is exclusively C code.
Without getting into politics on coin algorithms can you build your product on an existing chain to speed up development? While it may not be ideal, it would bring the product to life much quicker and if successful you may be able to attract other developers to later build a new chain from scratch?
I'll add another reason why I can see real world usage with BitShares, Nxt, or any chain that can do a UIA. Endless possibilities for developers with these tokens. One of the hottest area's in the bar and restaurant industry in regards to marketing and customer retention is rewards programs. Spend x amount and get x amount off your next tab, simple. This is all kept track via the customers credit card on the back end, 100% automated. I could go on and on, just pointing out the fact there is much more to crypto then most think...
