But I also know that Cryptonite wont succeed unless I can build a market around it and give people something to spend their XCN on.
Presumably development needs to focus on specific niches where this might gain traction - exchanges, prediction markets, maybe gambling, anything involving immediate need for high-volume transactions. I was wondering how this might relate to Open Transactions/Monetas, which seem to aim to provide multi-sig secured exchange technology for high speed trading.
A wider awareness of it's technical merits so that it is seen as a distinct family of coins (c.f. cryptonote) would be great. The possibility of anonymity-centric and sidechains versions is exciting for this. I wonder how challenging it would be to look at building integration into Hive wallet, which seems a really forward thinking project with in-wallet app functionality for buying and using crypto-tokens.
