Whoever is able to compile wallet executables for Windows and submit pull requests with any changes that were required, I'll provide minimum 100 SRC bounty.

Hi, Baritus! I really don't want DGC to fade out and want to help.
I've got a programming experience, but never tried to compile linux sources to Windows platform.
I would like to try to do it if you give me at least a basic instructions in which way to look for. It may be just a link to the article or something similar.

1. The sources are system-neutral. The problem is that windows guys do not know how to compile under windows or the compilation there is a really hard thing.
2. There is a possibility to cross-compile, using linux tools to produce binaries for windows or mac. I keep trying to do this using this instruction, with some modifications:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-windows.md

I had to download the qt 5.2 sources manually, then build manually windows versions of zlib, lpng and some other things.
I can't test these builds as a have no access to windows machine, but I believe libraries are ok.
Unfortunately it seems the newest versions of those libraries are incompatible with DGC sources, that are pretty old, based on 0.9 bitcoin version or so.
I keep trying with older versions now but I can't repeat these experiments everyday and I also have to avoid version that are compromised in the terms of security.
