-- zero self promotion (aka pump); expected throughout the community
-- 100% federated: your code, your hardware, your data feeds, your broker fills
-- broker/exchange/asset-class agnostic
-- privacy
-- real-time financial signal processing from the ground up
-- high quality, attractive, native UX with expected use in tiling wms
-- sophisticated rt charting and data sharing facilities
-- geared for collaboration within trader communities
-- zero interest in adoption by suits; no corporate friendly license, ever.
-- not built for *sale*; built for *people*
+- 100% federated: your code, your hardware, your data feeds, your broker fills.
+- zero web: low latency, native software that doesn't try to re-invent the OS
+- maximal **privacy**: prevent brokers and mms from knowing your
+  planz; smack their spreads with dark volume.
+- zero clutter: modal, context oriented UIs that echew minimalism, reduce
+  thought noise and encourage un-emotion.
+- first class parallelism: built from the ground up on next-gen structured concurrency
+  primitives.
+- traders first: broker/exchange/asset-class agnostic
+- systems grounded: real-time financial signal processing that will
+  make any queuing or DSP eng juice their shorts.
+- non-tina UX: sleek, powerful keyboard driven interaction with expected use in tiling wms
+- data collaboration: every process and protocol is multi-host scalable.
+- fight club ready: zero interest in adoption by suits; no corporate friendly license, ever.
