what changes are happening after the hard fork on 14th ?
Short-term:Here's the new schedule for development:
- RC2 (masternode payments, DGW3) : May 14th
- RC3 (1000 DRK limit and denominated change) : May 21st
- After this, I'll find someone to vet the code and open source.
- RC4 (Bugs, security issues)
- Testing, then opensource
Unofficial viewMedium term - I guess we are going to have a lot of people testing out the payment protocol for all sorts of reasons - some might be legal, some might be questionably legal, some might just cross over the line.
Some of my views are given here:

Blue sky: third parties - anything from decentralised anonymous corporations stock exchange to decentralised dark markets.
Official developments? I think some of those are being kept secret for now by the development team.
Overall - what do you do when someone invents eCash?
