Any fix yet for the Mac OS wallet bug that isn't allowing for encryption or backups?

I'll be looking into this today. If you want to start staking asap until I have an answer for you can try setting up a Windows VM and use the Windows wallet temporarily. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Can you try now? I've reuploaded a version of the Mac wallet which should fix your issue. Let me know how it goes (download link is the same).
As stated during the sale that we do need to start the process for converting BTC to cash currency which is why we have moved it as well as safely storing the remainder. Not directly relevant to your question but I believe it shows a great deal about our character, have you ever wondered why we left 1 BTC on the address? If you recall I posted previously that a user accidentally sent us 1 BTC directly rather then to their personal Apex BTC address. We also Tweeted this at the end of the ICO seeking for this individual to come forward -

why not give a estimate timeline when you think you will be on exchanges rather spouting about how good of characters you are
How fast an exchange adds us isn't dictated by us, we can only simply give them the information they ask for. The rest is up to them. We more than welcome you to join Bittrex's slack and reach out to them personally and voice your request for Jewels to be added quicker.
You rock! Quick question before I go with the new wallet, before uninstalling this version, what do I do about my wallet? Do I need to send my coins to a paperwallet, uninstall this client version, then install the new version and import priv key? I want to make sure I do this properly so I dont screw myself

I don't see anywhere on the client to display the private key to the wallet (to save it), so I'm not sure what to save/backup since I haven't been able to encrypt or backup the wallet from the first place. Sorry for the hassle

Thanks!
