Currently on the IXCoin website there are two wallet options.
1. iXcoin 0.3.24.3
2. iXcoin 0.8.6
The second one carries with it a warning that it is still being tested.
I have two questions
1. I see FrictionlessCoin is working on developing the wallet and some other areas but is he working alone as a developer?
2. Which is the recommended wallet for download and use? And what is the future plans for encrypted wallets?
0.3.24.3 is the legacy wallet and his around for 2 1/2 years, this is your safe bet.
0.8.6 was just created recently and like any other software requires some time to mature. So far it works without any issue that I have found.
I have other developers who build the QT client. Right now I am waiting on one of them to release the Windows QT binaries.
0.8.6 already encrypts wallets. 0.8.6 has all the functionality of the latest Bitcoin client.
Thanks for the information.
