Are window wallets expected today?
Unfortunately no. The windows wallet is taking the longest to complete after sufficient testing. However, we expect to have all the wallets released in the next couple of days.
There will of course be no penalty for not updating immediately. It does however mean that users can't send for the Core/QT wallets for a couple days.
Wouldn't this be a golden opportunity after the hard fork to make it ASIC resistant and more GPU compatible? I mean, games are played on GPUs right? Isn't that an irony? Many things wrong with this coin, it should be a coin for gamers first of all.
That being said, the Windows GC client is okay but it doesnt handle more than a single GPU.
First of all, with this fork passed we will be preparing for future updates to the client. It is our intention of making the network as scalable as possible. Also, we will release multiple GPU support for the client. That wasn't out yet simply because the application was released in early January. We've been developing and testing deployment of advanced mining features, and they will be out soon.
