The development of Nxt basic features is almost done.  Now it's time to decide what an advanced feature will be developed in the first place.  Please, vote and comment.  A thread about Nxt can be found at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303898.0

I voted for colored coins but I'd be intrigued to know more about the potential voting system.  I also don't understand the two phase payment option.   Exciting to see you are so ambitious about this!

Please focus on a clean well designed POS model implementation that solves the bloat problem too, and add the colored coins feature first before going for anything else!
