Are the xnodes working correctly? That technically puts us in front of DRK who are still trying to resolve their fork issues from their masternode payments.
i say we do everything he has planned but better, why not just have an encrypted msg system but an encrypted email service with your own email address like outlook etc but you download like a wallet but has the wallet built into as well so you can exchange emails and send payments in the same client? i don't know if it would be worth while but just throwing it out there.
Cinni doesn't have anonymity planned for 12-18 weeks. Plus it's just a promise. Lots of coins make empty promises.
As for the encrypted messaging, we will be heading down that path later. But for now we should continue with our big strength - xnodes.
