Sharing this very nice initiative by Athan Clark. He is creating a light GUI wallet for only 200 XMR:

I also speculate we are going sideways until friday evening.
People please exercise caution before storing any substantial amount of XMR or BTC on machine running new code. Make sure you either look into the code yourself or make sure that others have reviewed it for exploits or backdoors that could steal your funds.
I'm all for a GUI and 3rd party guis etc, but people need to be vigilant when it comes to installing newly released software, that includes the core code as well.
Do your own research and homework before storing any large amount of funds that could be stolen on a machine that has newly installed software (that includes almost all kinds of software).
Be paranoid, as paranoia can be a very healthy thing in prescribed quantities.
