And.... What is Silkcoin NOT doing that other coins are doing?

- BIP 0021 "URI Scheme" to enable payments by clicking on link or scanning QR code
- BIP 0070 "Payment Protocol" for better communication between merchant & customer

As a web developer in the finance industry, I see these 2 BIPs as vital for any crypto currency that wants to have merchant services built upon it.

I really hope the devs will continue by building great core functionality on top of the great looking wallet.

As far as objectives go, I would hope to see....

1. - Core update...

then...

2. - SC Eco-System updates.

Alot of thought & work, from alot of smart people, went into the Bitcoin Core update... Running on anything less makes no sense.
The new Core code is MUCH more suitable for online merchant services & offers MUCH improved usability.
Once this updated core functionality is available, Silkcoin would be much more attractive to web developers.

In this way the SC devs could focus on improving wallet functionality at the same time as web devs build external functionality.

That is my opinion, as a senior web developer in the financial sector.
