I don't see the exact idea of this coins,...
If you're a trader, bittrex notification in wallet is the best implementation so far in altcurrency wallets.
If you're not a trader, probably you will find it useful.
Since this is a coin for traders, this first feature is just amazing.
I stopped to panic watching twitter or irc to be in front line when bittrex add new coins.
why is it so important to know when a coin is added to bittrex ?
Thanks in advance for your answer
You can buy cheap coins if you're one of the first to buy when new coins is added.
I have bought thanks to miraclecoins notification, maryjane at 1,5k. Now they are more than 11k. So, from 0,2 btc to 2 btc more or less, in just 5 days.
Attention: This not works for every new coins! You have always take care and know a little about newcoins added....richlist....possibility of dumping from early miners....etc etc.
That's why when miraclecoins notification alerted me about dopecoin, i don't have bought them at 500 satoshi, cause i know dopecoins past life and the amount of bagholders that have dopecoin.
So, it's an amazing tool the bittrex notifications, but you have to be care to which coins invest.
The answer is not, it's not necessary you don't need to upgrade if you don't want.
