[Viacoin Key Features]
Launched 18th June 2014

http://github.com/clearinghouseViacoin website info might seem very vague for people only looking at websites that don't understand or look for information elsewhere, like bitcointalk or twitter etc. A page in the website that links to the features/info would be a great idea, because the common folk won't want to look elsewhere.
