Just for your future reference the new Counterwallet is hands down the easiest wallet software I've ever seen. You can create assets for a fraction of the cost of NXT and the idea of being able to trade anything for anything seems to be a bit more doable there.

Having your username be the password is a pretty awesome idea even if its 12 words long.

From what I've read Bitshares is taking the idea of implementing crypto in real-world business to a whole new level, but all 3 platforms are elevating the reputation of the alt scene by succeeding at being innovative, IMHO.
