Increase in the volume was inevitable as the ICG community grew and I'm sure that the price will reflect the increase soon enough.

A community effort to increase acceptance of Incognito coin has been on-going and yielding succuss in merchant adoption. Although there's not neccesarily alot of businesses that accept alt-coins to begin with but web merchants will.

That would be something to consider in the next development cycle. Technically the merchant API tools could be ported into a social messaging application. Although most applications only accept the alternate cryptocurrency issued by the creator besides bitcoin. It would be more ideal to wait until another application began accepting multiple alternate crypto currencies first and then request ICG to be accepted.

Ultimately the price is determined by user adoption but all of the features that are being developed should contribute further. The amount of twitter followers doubled in the last two weeks to over 1,000 so it's definitely clear that ICG is attracting attention. As a community based coin, having a collection of developers to contribute is a significant asset as their's always at least one developer working if the others are busy.

I'm looking forward to more development news when it's finished.

I agree, trust and transparency is quite important for alt-coins and incognito coin has demonstrated this consistently. A complete service platform on ICG when finished will yield a lot more use and therefore useful for implementation in either super-net or block-net.

It's nice to see the total amount of twitter followers pass 1000. I'm certain that ICG will find a specific use in the market through its many features and methods of accessibility.

Very true. According to the previous development posts. The ICG team is working in two sections while outside developers are helping so there should be alot of room for expansion in ICG and greater potential in terms of how far it can be developed. 

The main payment process, Cointopay and Generalbytes ATMs are both located primarily in the Netherlands so it would be nice to branch out and get listed on other payment/ATM providers in other locations. Again, it shouldn't be difficult with the ATM API already available, but there's a lack of alt-coin ATMs at the moment. In fact Generalbytes is the only alt coin ATM provider that I'm currently aware of so perhaps there should be a focus on payment processors instead.

Although it's better to think outside of the box and find new ways to implement the closed payment system while serving a practical role. Honestly, I believe that it wouldn't be out of the question to see the appearance of QR readers in certain metropolitan stores that accept alt-coins. In my opinion the mobile wallet is already sufficient for physical payment locations but it's always better to have more payment options than less.

I can already see a lot of organization and community support forming. Later as it further develops, promotion and development will gain more momentum.

It's quite possible to have several applications which provide different functions adequately while having another application which incorporates all of the functions. It would also be possible to port over the closed payment system into the application for later use.

There was already an earlier post of the possibility that the ICG team would be split into two sections. One could focus on wallet improvements while the other tries to add services through the ICG network. 

True, though now would be a good time to brain storm ideas for future network development if such a decision is made. The past suggestions of voip, chat, file-sharing, and vpn sound like good plans and at least not too difficult to implement.

That's a sound plan going forward. ATM integration was already a nice feat in itself. It shouldn't be too difficult to increase merchant adoption with the existing API tools.

I'm going to contact goldencrypto and try to help setup a merchant section to the icg.io website. Also I will introduce the idea of having a another sub-section where it's possible to download or import the Merchant API, logo, banner, or any other accessories available for Web merchants.

I agree that ATM integration is a major feature and in my opinion it should be further utilized by increasing the amount of ATM providers accepting ICG. I was thinking of targeting untapped markets outside of Europe and the U.S.A by patterning with foreign companies seeking to provide alt-coin payment solutions either for physical locations or for web merchants.

Definitely, all the more reason to buy up the cheap ICG while the sale lasts.

That sounds like a good plan. ATM integration is rather unique so it would be nice to see that further worked upon.

Good post. I believe ICG has that potential as most of the accessibility features are already present.

There's already been some discussion in the ICG forum. The ICG team seems coordinated in terms of development but the forum is a good place for discussion of volunteer work.
