Hey Guys,

I'm adding the cpuminer optimizations to the in wallet miner so all miners are about the same performance.  I'm about 80% done or so, this update is a bit tricky as it is very hardware specific and I'm making it work on all three OSes with varying hardware, without compiling separate wallets for different hardware like the opt miner is, etc.  After this release there will be more incentive to solomine again, due to same speed and no fees for tx and pool, which can add up.  The fee structure is 0.2 VRM per kilobyte of the transaction.  

We should know this week whether we are doing marketing with the company.  Cool thing is they will accept VeriCoin as payment and will hold a fraction in the contract for incentive to succeed.  We are discussing with them marketing VeriCoin and Verium in a way no other crypto has been marketed effectively thus far.  We will be primarily targeting the general population and this is not just a BS plan, this is a real, dynamic strategy for penetrating the general market.

Also I'm not going to spend my time allaying the fears of pessimists regarding price, the market will move as it chooses and we will be here building a better and better protocol, UI, UX, ecosystem and now pairing as we have for 2+ years.  If you think the fundamentals are good and share our passion for crypto and what it can and should do, join us, build a third party application for our ecosystem or help us get the word out.  The price will be proportional to our success in penetrating a larger and larger market and this is the only true way to build a currency.  This is ultimately about freedom from the collusive corruption of centrally controlled money, that is why we are here, if you believe in that freedom you are in good company here.
