+1 Bitfreak is doing awesome work. Nobody has a right to push him. He is reliable and constantly communicating with the community without any brainless hyped claims. In fact, I didnt see any Altcoin dev with that mature and reliable behavior so far.

XCN has a more innovative tech than 99% of the copycoins out there. But it provides no anon yet which is a must have standard feature nowadays.  While I agree that this coin really doesnt need to focus on a fancy superspecial anon solution like all the other coins, wouldnt it be possible to implement a simple mixer solution from an existing anoncoin without the need for a complete new rollout/blockchain? Guess the community would be more than happy to crowdfund a further dev for this, as we saw the impact on price when there were merely talks about a possible XCN cooperation with BTCD/Supernetwork.
