Would it be possible to code in customizable skins? Something like Hyp's wallet skin selector? That way we could potentially get some new visual styles working in the wallet

Possible, yes. It is a fair amount of work. Plus it requires some skin makers, not my specialty. I'm sure I can get the core of it going.

Beauty over Function?

Wel it's just an idea for now, depends if anyone else in the community would like to see this as well. If so after we get the icons looking good for the wallet, we could throw some images around on what another look for the wallet could be. These are big "ifs" though. I'm sure there are other suggestions people might like to see in the next update as well.

A good mix of both is always nice

, but if we have to choose functionality should probably take precedence.

What updates do we want to see for 2.3?

I have had a request for Autosavings updates, including custom send address. I can do that.

I was planning on doing the windows safe shutdown, and the combine/split threshold updates, to help keep blocks more manageable.

Obviously the new icons.

Anything else?

Typography seems to need a little more centering though, but could just be me.

No its not you, it was just a mock up, the CAP part also is not the same size so that needs resizing and it all needs re-centering. I'm not sure if we want to use it for anything just yet so I'll leave it there for now. I can send someone the inkscape file if anyone wants to have a play. Personally, I also think it could do with something extra as its seems a little bland at the moment but thats only if we end up using it for anything anyway.

anywhere I can DL the blockchain from, yet?

I can resync the entire block chain if needed, I guess

If you still need this I can get one uploaded for you. CAPs wallet does sync with peers fairly quickly.

Yeah, the one with this font is much better imo. Typography seems to need a little more centering though, but could just be me.

I am a fan of simplicity so I am already quite happy with the current looks although a nice red bottle cap on the overview button would seem like a nice finishing touch.

I have another question though: are there any plans to update the 'autosave'-function with a programmable return address like HBN has as of lately? Cause it really works great!

Yes I do plan to add some of the updates from HBN to CAPs. What you have mentioned plus the auto combining.

Was waiting until we got some of the new icons ready. Looks like we are making progress.

Anyone have a valid list of addnodes? I have like 50 addnodes in my config gathered from a few places and I still can't get a sync started.

This is the best list available I think.

EDIT: And I think you just need a few..

I have one but don't know how to upload a big file like that. I'd say just syncing with a wallet is probably the easiest way. Wouldn't take more than a day.

I managed to find the font that was originally used for the bottle cap logo and did a mockup vector image.Not sure if its any help for the icon development but just incase, I've uploaded a higher quality version of the CAP icon on imgr:

Link to larger file here:http://i.imgur.com/D9XXjZP.png

It's a .png file/export but I also have the vector file in inkscape if anyone wants it. I couldn't replicate the smudging effect but it looks a bit cleaner anyway and scaleable to higher quality. Not sure if its of use for the icons but thought it would put it out there just incase. A little while ago I was bored and got the lower quality logo printed off on on a red bottle cap, turned out kinda cool. Anyway, I best get back to writing this essay thats due tomorrow..

Is there a bootstrap that I can download so I don't have to reload/sync the entire blockchain?

I have the updated block chain that I could upload, I haven't uploaded a bootstrap before, can anyone tell me where's the best place to upload it for free?

Seems like you have some marketing ideas too. Would like to hear 'em

Overall, I'd really like to see a large community effort for some of these older, technically solid high PoS coins. I tried to see if there would be interest in a group IRC for several coins (say #hiPoS or something), but didn't really get any responses.

I agree about the idea but I think that people need someone to get it started Crazyloaf and that would get more people involved. At the moment its just an idea you have mentioned, it needs a bit more to get it started. Maybe aim at getting something in particular done and ask for collaboration on a joint IRC. At the moment there's a lot of collaboration between HBN, CAP and HYPER but this is in coding, it would be good to get members of the communities to join in together as well. These coins all share a base of good fundamentals in wallets/coding, community cross overs would be a great thing to implement as well. Also for CAP in particular there needs to be more done to get new people involved. Some promotions and things like that, Tranz is around and still developing but there really needs to be more community promotion by members. I feel like there are a few people just sitting back and not getting involved. It would be good to see this change or at least get some new members on board. If interested maybe you, me and reyde could get some promotional ideas going, although I'm not sure if you are more interested in trading/looking for new investments ect but it would be nice to at least get some discussions going in this thread.
