2. ...""so that everyone has a fair chance at creating money"... yes, alot of people do not get to mine bitcoin because of the hashrate. As well at any point in time you want new users to come on board and mine the coin to add to the network, this creates an ever increasing infrastructure that is very hard to fall down. Might even reduce that so called 51% attack if no-one is using pools and just mine with their pc or smartphone.

3. I do not really understand merge mining except that it brings more miners on board as they can mine both btc and this coin. Ultimately the miners are your infrastructure, not a prerequisite if you are able to bring new miners in at any time giving them the same chance as everyone else.

Thank you for expanding. Most coins try to launch with a high value, on exchanges and with mining pools set up. Using Instamines, premines, IPO and other approaches to get free money. We want to do the opposite, a quiet low launch, lots of hard work, useful features, no exchange, no monetary value at inception and no pools to begin. We'll take every step we can to ensure it's a fair coin. Nothing wills top speculation, but we can take all measures possible to prevent anything untoward.

these features all seem to me to reduce a pump and dump coin

This is of primary concern, the coin should have limited monetary value and grow naturally based on merit.

A side note - i believe the payment gateway is the key to new users and profits, this will create a community that can use a coin straight away and that community can even help businesses adopt the coin by showing them a simple payment gateway for transactions.

Agreed, I've dubbed this user focussed development, lots of time spent ensuring the coin can be used as one and can be integrated easily by people. I want anything created to run entirely on its own merits as a viable alternative to the big coin(s).

I'm curious why you ask which features are important to the crypto community.

There are many experienced and valuable members here, I'm trying to reach out to find the few real users of crypto that are here, those who understand specific areas exceptionally, and those who have noticed requirements that others may have missed (or missed the importance of).

Anybody can come up with a new alt coin, but it's only worth doing if it adds utility, innovation, refinement, and value (or should I say usefulness). So trying to take time out to listen to the community and get together a proper specification before put keyboard to code.
