I have read the white paper and have to admit Vanillacoin could solve some problems which Bitcoin could potentially have in the future. I will be following this one closely.
Just on a side note, there seems to be some files missing from the github. Most notably the main.h and main.cpp. Is there a reason they are missing?
As far as I know the wallet can be compiled from the existing files. Join us on IRC @ Freenode #Vanillacoin, John is the man to answer that.
