Tomorrow you will notice the difficulty and reward begin to adjust based on current network speed. This leads into the java port, the new wallet will have a gui for network statistics with live streaming data. This is just one feature that is being worked on, including simplified access to common features everyone uses on websites will become available inside the wallet.

The java port has been under construction for about 2 years, so to those wondering if the timeline is very long....not really, kalgecin has been working on this for a long time and is about 2/3 completed. This week he began restructuring the chain to be in a sqlite db.

Currently, to receive transactions, you have to configure the wallet to do some mumbo jumbo to process an incoming tx. With the way we are structuring it you can just query the db.
