 The argument was raised that the Privacy Mode as proposed here is not the
 feature most pressingly needed for BitShares right now.
 
-## Worker Poll Interval too Short
+## Confidential Transfers already available in the CLI-Wallet

+The privacy mode is already documented and available for use in the console-line
+wallet client at almost the same fee as non-private transfers (December 2015).
+However, since these transfers cannot participate in the Referral Program (see
+above), all fees are paid to the BitShares network. This proposal, shall it be
+implemented, splits the fee for private transactions 20%/80% (similar to regular
+transfers with the referral program) and hands out 20% of the fee to the
+BitShares network. The other 80% are given to the maintenance account and
+holders of the FBA. As a result, for BitShares shareholders to keep their 20%
+transaction fee, the other 80% need to be paid by the customer. However, the fee
+for this type of transaction is only increased to 3x and not the required 5x.
+The assumptions are that the increase in volume for this particular transaction
+type and the additional customers compensate for this loss.
