When it comes around time to finally release this, I would like, for once, for there to be a 48 hour announcement period BEFORE the clients are released.

Same here. I want some notice so that I can get my miner set up before the action commences. This coin looks like it could be around for the long haul, and I'd love for my early-adopter investment to pay off.

Client (along with a CPU and GPU miner) will be encrypted by scrypt and packaged with a program to decrypt it long before the actual release. A time will then be given for mining to begin. At this time, you get the password, and everyone gets to mine at the same time. Depending on the interest expressed, the starting difficulty will be set at around 2000-6000 7970's worth of power for 2 minute/block target time. Multiple pools are also planned to be available at launch.

Not sure I understand the utility of encrypting the miner/client, but that overall plan sounds great. Very fair release. I can assume Windows users will be included; someone else was asking about this, so I just wanted to clarify.
