So what do you expect to be released on the 30th? (realistic expectations)

What are your expectations regarding features for the future, so after the 30th? (again realistic and in line with our vision of a digital currency for the masses)

Do you tell your friends/family about Pandacoin and if so what do you tell about it?

Anonymous transactions.

My immediate friends/family aren't even into Bitcoin. They care not to get PND despite what I've told them.

I'm actually indifferent to anonymous transactions. It's good for deepweb transactions to buy illicit substances and all, but when I did a survey around my friends at college, none seemed to care about having anonymous transactions at all. And they fit the bill of the average end user that's not tech inclined.

If PND is to have success at achieving their slogan of "for the masses", they really need to design it for the masses, and not concentrate on pleasing the current crypto-crowd.

I think RTRC is on the ball here. Using PND like how we use traditional money is the way to appeal to the masses.

I hope the PND devs understand this (they seem to be, with their teasers for the August 30th release date), and not concentrate on crappy technological gimmics-so-called-ground-breaking-improvements that in reality, the end users (masses) will not even care about at all.

AH the suspense is killing me. SOON WE WILL KNOW!

This. Anonymity is not going to be a killer feature that will wow the average folks and get them into digital currencies. Design the user experience for the average commoner, and Pandacoin should be a hit.

Not to mention governments most likely won't take anonymity too kindly, as it could be used to launder money and for tax evasion purposes. I don't see what the hype is all about. Darkcoin being marketed as the darknet coin? Yeah that's fair. But ain't we aiming to bring awareness and involve to those that typically don't care and just want something that is easy to get into and just works?

Devs should not forget about China! Untapped potential there.
