Why don't people that are having problems with NCC (mostly problems that have  been explained/solved 100 times over by the way...no offense) just use the standalone lightwallet ? That's exactly why they made it. NCC has a shitty UX. The lightwallet literally couldn't be any simpler. You don't even need Java installed.

It's a really early version but it works good enough.
