Just checked out the official forums to see what was being worked on... rather than post there, I am going to post here, as I do think it better to be active here than in a coin's forums. People are lazy and won't bother checking over there, for starters.

Anyway, I see ideas being thrown about regarding wallet upgrades. Some folks have mentioned adding an anon feature into the wallet. Is that a serious consideration, or simply people throwing out ideas?

It does seem somewhat of a bandwagon idea, basically trying to get in on the current crytpo flavor of the month. At the same time, I do think Drk has been onto something, and anonymity does hold an advantage over btc. So if it can be added, it'd certainly be a good thing in my opinion, regardless of what occurs when the ever-changing, and seemingly quicker than ever, crypto fad of the moment. A simple mixer probably wouldn't be that hard to implement (fedora-style), but true decentralized anonymity would be a tad tougher.

The one wallet upgrade which I think could be of benefit, assuming you guys get merchants signed up, is incorporating a merchant marketplace into the wallet. I also suggested this same idea to Noble Coin, where they have one of the strongest marketplaces of any crypto out there. I don't think they had plans to incorporate it, but to me it'd be a nice differentiating factor for any coin. Of course that relies on a coin having a marketplace to incorporate to begin with.

I haven't checked on price in a while, and see the coin has taken a tumble. Did I miss some bad news somewhere, or did a whale decide to dump? That can be a problem when a coin is on a small exchange, as there isn't room for whales so much.... especially not multiple whales. Other exchanges and MP should be a priority. Rather than dump, I'd think a whale would simply buy up MP votes, as even if they wanted to dump, Poloniex isn't the place to do it really. Just curious if I missed some news or something there.
