"Welcome to SpreadCoin, the project that is building a network where any application or service can be run in a decentralised manner."

I like it, but still....

This is concentrating too much on the future, and not so much on what we already have achieved.

I understand and respect your opinion on this but I also think a balance needs to be struck.

In project management the short, mid and long term goals of a project should be advertised and agreed by the project sponsors who in this case are the open source community at large. Focussing on what we are doing right now is missing a chance to gain direction and support from the wider community in the future.

I can't think of an argument for not mentioning what is on the roadmap in the wallet.

I agree with that.

I was just saying, your wording was focusing completely on the future.
What I want is some balance that also mentions the present.

If you could extend the wording ...

Its a tricky balance! I think I need another coffee!

"Welcome to SpreadCoin, the project that is building a network where any application or service can be run in a decentralised manner."

See, I could never come up with such a line, that's why I need your help with this.
But I want you to make it MORE perfect.

Cool

.....
the emissions curve...brb
.........

Plus, main features?

That's an interesting point.
I know of no wallet that informs the user about its specifications WITHIN the wallet.
So you are always forced to go visit the official site / blockexplorer to even know such things as blocktime, current blockreward, port, etc...

So, we could very well reuse part of the overview screen for such information.

But keep in mind that we already have a section of the header reserved for "network information":

so I am not sure

The QT splashscreen looks like this already:
...

yes, and it looks great. So why not keep the theme in the wallet when its open?

Yes, we can start the introductory text with "Decentralize everything" as title...

but what follows then?

Can we get protocol versions in there, keep them updated so people know which is the latest?

Yes, that's what the alert system is here for.
Once we start using it, the main devs can trigger alert messages for all kinds of things.
