Forget me for my noobness but how exactly do I compile a wallet from source files?
Hai - you don't need to - go to
https://github.com/kittehcoin/kittehcoinlook for a folder called release. Click on that mofo
Look for a folder that matches your OS. Click it - click it real good.
Download all files therein, store them in a single folder on your computer. Double-click kittehcoin-qt.exe (I'm going out on a limb and assuming you're on Windows.. if you're not, my apologies)
Post back if you still can't get up and running.
