win10 was free for a year if you had 8.

I think it was free for at least 6 months. I did try Win10, hated it, its 100% full on Spy wear from microsoft. Not to mention how more un-user friendly it all is. So i reverted back to win 8.1, which i have to say i am very happy with.

Also for people posting "it works great on my OS" I CLEARLY stated, i wanted to hear from Windows 8.1 Users/stakers only. As it seems like this is the OS that could be the issue.

But, no worries, i will wait for new HTML 5 wallet, hopefully Santa will bring me one.

I think web based wallets are good. Windows 10 broke alot of stuff in the last update

Web based = Centralized.

IOC is aiming for 100% decentralized (i think) but then again, i think i did hear something about a web based wallet. At the end of the day, its often best to give the public what they want.

What does WEB Base = Centralized mean?

What language an app is written in to run does not make it centralized or not. Client side scripting works much more toward decentralization. Forcing the app to run on client instead of server is the very definition of decentralized. I am not familiar with how the wallets are coded at all, but they have to rely on calls to the network in general to retrieve information. That can either be a call to a server somewhere (Centralized) or a general broadcast through the nodes to any wallets listening to get block chain info sent back for an update. This type of info system has been around for a fairly long time, used in telecom to route info through networks with multiple pathways to help keep them from going down in the event of a lost node (or hardware in their case).

If IOC, or any other coin, manages to make the network rely solely on open wallets to establish the network, that is as decentralized as it can get. An HTML5 wallet is works very well to do this as that is how it is intended to be used in the first place. Just have to hope enough people in the world have wallets and the internet remains open enough to connect to everyone who can load them and run 'em.

The biggest hurdle, as I see it, is that the more info you pack into a wallet, the more opportunities you give bad apples to hack into the system. That is the inherent danger in all of this. (Why businesses keep info on secured servers at this point) That is what all these teams are trying to achieve. IOC seems to be getting there, that is why I am following them. If they get it working in a sustainable, securable process, they win. Simple as that.
