Personally, I wouldn't want to see automatic coin control added.

Honestly though, consider not adding automatic coin control - you'll take away what I see as a big part of HYP's addictiveness.
I think it is GREAT IDEA!!!
I also support this idea.
I do not believe barrier to entry is a good thing for a coin that want to be popular. Automatic coin control will probably leave room for fine-tuning any way, the same cars have manual transmission or even sport mode, whilst other have automatic transmission. Then, who's right on cars? Everyone is. Different audiences and preventing one audience to access the coin is not my vision for HyperStake. Not everyone wants to be addicted - I am, and I'm fine with it but other people just want it to work well, without this feeling of losing money because they don't understand coin cointrol.
Plus, I tend to think there would be a bit less day-traders if coin controlling was not only automatic, but even encouraged with a potential stake displayed right in the wallet's main window, an "executive summary" ('you have X HYP at the moment - in around 20 days, you should have Y HYP if you leave your wallet open most of the time").


I absolutely agree that automatic control is a good idea to foster adoption. I'd go so far as to say that it should be the default, at least in the QT client, but there should be an option to disable it and/or parts of it for people like me (and apparently you) who have to be under the hood. My wife can't drive a stick, so our car has an automatic. I deal. I'd prefer a stick, and someday I'll have my own sports car that has a six speed manual transmission, twin turbos, nitrous... and a bunch of other stuff of questionable legality Cheesy But for every passionate driver there are hundreds of people who look at their car the same as their toaster. They drive the industry, while people like me push the edges of it. It's likely the same with coin control.
