Any interest in getting some conversation going here? I just fired up my wallet after a while and it found 18 connections within moments so there is clearly a bit of interest out there and plenty of people staking, but this thread seems awfully quiet. I also note that getting on for half a million coins have been traded on Cryptopia in the last 24 hours.
So in the spirit of getting the conversation moving what would people like to see that would be of interest?
I would like to see a couple of things:
Firstly a refresh of the wallet - it actually seems to work really well, but I think the look and feel would benefit from a minor overhaul: I'd get rid of the moneybags symbols and standardise on the light colour scheme.
Secondly some discussion around the purpose of the coin would be good - there were some suggestions a while back around positioning it as a coin to introduce people to cryptos and staking - it stakes really well and its clearly a pretty low cost coin so would be ideal for this sort of ethos.
Unfortunately I'm not a developer so wouldn't know where to start on the wallet.

Firstly, how did you manage to get 18 connections? The max that I've reached is 9.
The dev on the project is Noise, but in recent months, he hasn't been very active on the forum. He was talking about updating the wallet, but that was a few months ago and I don't think anyone has heard much from him since that time. The wallet works fine, but it could definitely benefit from a makeover, but the money bags aren't a big deal. Making the wallet lighter on the CPU is more important. Aesthetics can come after that.
I'm all for a more active community because it will only serve to grow the community and ultimately raise the price of this coin. @paramind22 is the one who commented about introducing people to staking. You should message him and get his thoughts on that.
With the current market cap nearing $600 billion and Version offering 60% per year, we just need a bit of marketing behind this coin and it could explode.
Sorry for the delay in replying.
Regarding 18 connections - I think this is because I went through the process of ensuring I had the right ports open for Bitcoin to run as a full node - i.e. allowing both in and out connections. I can't actually remember what I did now, but a bit of google-ing should help. I'll try to work it out as well.
Re. the make-over - I agree the money bags aren't a big deal, its just they are a simple visual improvement that would be nice and obvious (and I don't like them!). Also agree that a lighter CPU load (which would hopefully resolving the rather common "not responding" issue) would be really good.
I will message both paramind22 and noise23, but generally we should just keep the conversation going here - people just need to know there is a bit of interest and activity and things will start to develop I am sure.
Indeed I see there has been a bit of price activity on cryptopia and (to a lesser extent) on YoBit. I'm sure its partly because Bitcoin has dropped so things "look" a little cheaper.
It appears that you are much more tech savvy than I am. However, I will do a bit of googling and see what I can learn.
While we're on the aesthetics, an updated website would do wonders for this coin. Most coins tend to explode once they get an updated website. Not saying that it's a priority, but it could definitely give the coin a boost.
I definitely like the activity that I'm seeing on Cryptopia. With 60% proof of stake, this coin could be really huge if more people found out about it. I'm at least glad that the Twitter page is set up for this coin. A few tweaks would do wonders.
