no worries, we're here to stay. I'l keep on developing new things. I'm currently working on http://x41.eu/. this should not take too long. If we get delisted on the 19th we have EmpoEx. I'll have them integrated in the wallet with the next checkpoint release
I like your position... and there's dragons, where some of the time estimations on time consumption of various development tasks originate... yet, the last few days should be good to satisfy the conditions for this market to at least go beyond that checkpoint...

but, if I might suggest ONE thing regarding the market integration thing...

maybe I'm just overly alert and hope you just meant that indicator on the overview page, which I'm pretty ok with that...
(yet, it would be nice if those augmentations could be made switchable @ runtime with some corresponding argc/argv param.
e.g.: --show-markethelper or --marketdisplay=true ...haven't had the time to look at the implementation, but some generic priceapi abstraction layer could make market adaptions way easier to maintain, or turned of if infunct any time in the future) 

...and If you're indeed planing some bigger thing marketing gateway or trading integration, I'd strongly suggest to make it either utter generic and configurable (without need to rebuild of course), or refactor it to become a separate application.
and if you indeed do fancy that idea of integrating some marketing platform gui helper, I'd just kindly ask you to reconsider that plan.

it might look handy and crafty at first glance, but those market integrations are obviously way too specialised single-use (and potential spof) applications. I'm really not sure about the security implications such static integration could suddenly introduce to individual users or even the network and might introduce several potential new attack vectors.... and it would also completely contradict all ongoing efforts to improve decentralisation.

yet, as a side package, a simplified payment gateway app could be awesome...
...bundling it with a special tailored, even smaller footprint p2pool server and if even possible, pimped to be even more turnkey (I'm qt'ing a little helpergui that makes the whole thing integrate somewhat more windows-like...hides to trayicon, detaches p2pconsole, configuration helper, selector, run, stop, logviewer, some essential servermetrics, ...)
could seriously help providing the network with some decent distributed, mining enhanced, extra security and stability benefits.

THAT's one thing I'd try to trim down to some vital ultracompact minimalistic core let it eventually become an integral part of the clients support libraries...
