Deaconboogie,
Do you have an ETA on the release of the new wallet? I ask because I've been planning a Mooncoin giveaway (along with a step-by-step video lesson) to my email newsletter as a teaching tool to help bring non-technical users into cryptocurrency.

Given the tech skill level of most of the people on my newsletter is pretty low, I want to make things as simple as possible and so I'd like to avoid forcing them to update their wallets too soon after they get started.

I'd also appreciate it if you could make sure to include a self-expanding .exe again this time as you did with the last update (or just link directly to the mooncoin-qt.exe) because making my students have to download and install a third-party application just to be able to access the wallet app is a very big hurdle for a lot of them and I want to make things as easy as possible.

People who have minimal skills and understanding of technology can be very easily discouraged by even small hurdles, so I want to keep things as simple as possible for them so they can gain confidence and knowledge with crypto.

Thanks!

The new wallet will be released at the same time as the fork. Yes, this does mean that there will be a hard fork, just like Doge did. I hate to do it, but we're sort of stuck with it.

I have a stable Windows build environment now (after about six tries of various combinations of Boost, OpenSSL, mingw, etc) and can built my own Windows wallets. Mac wallets still need some know-how. Maxpower, a user here who did our last wallet, had no trouble building our code on the Mac, so I'll either engage him or try myself.

We're shooting to have this done by April 15th.
