Faiz and I have been working with extending the existing webwallet that grazcoin and Grimentz have posted on masterchain.info.  We've taken a crack at making a simple installer, and filled out installation instructions for the wallet, masterchain.info-style server, and obelisk server: https://github.com/LDEngine/msc-webwallet

The bulk of the Distributed Exchange specific stuff will come later - but I wanted to keep the project on people's radar.

Faiz brought me on to help out with this web wallet (https://github.com/LDEngine/msc-webwallet/).

I contributed to early API design which was unfortunately abandoned.
I helped Faiz with the client side encryption/decryption of private keys using HTML5 local storage
I have been testing various new features and assisting with debugging/improvement
I have started a fork to move the web wallet to django for maintainability as opposed to python's basic HTTP server


Additionally to grok grazcoin's mastercoin-tools (https://github.com/grazcoin/mastercoin-tools) I forked it and have started to write unit tests.

I think Curtis and Patrick have said it better but we're working on a limited/zero trust web wallet for Mastercoin users. Right now we have client-side encryption, storage, and signing soon to come, and aside from that I think Grazcoin and Grimentz have done great work on their implementation and have been really helpful in getting us up to speed (we're using their fork). The UI will be developed in parallel of Marv Schnieder and Yuval's feedback as well to maximize the user experience of using Mastercoin.

It is still in progress but as this is a bounty on reported progress I think it might be good just to inform others of where we stand.
