I appreciate instacash's work on the mac wallets and I gather (s)he has a lot of projects so I'm sympathetic to them here. However, it's a moderately significant problem for the darkcoin community (especially on days like yesterday!) if there is an update and then a lengthy delay before the mac wallet is released. Even more so when the mac wallet is MISLABELED on the darkcoin website.

Is there any kind of plan to provide in-house mac releases in the future? Is there any way that mac users can update the wallet themselves?

That's the rough part right now because we're closed source until Evan feels it's robust enough for every other coin to clone.... er... I mean use.

I think Evan or InternetApe got a mac to compile on, sorry it was mislabeled  Lips sealed  As soon as things are open sourced, it will get easier, and I know Evan wants to get things opened up as fast as possible, he just doesn't want something with a big issue in it to be gobbled up by every other coin, and discover a terrible hole in it!  Not only would that hurt all the other coins, but would hurt us worse!  Bad reputation, conspiracy theories, you know how this works!  It would be devastating to DRK

So sorry about the Mac wallets, etc.... Not to diminish the importance whatsoever, I might suggest you everyone put Ubuntu on a flash drive to boot on your computer so in a pinch you could use your wallet.  If you play with it a little now, so you might get used to Linux, it may save you panic in the future.

Maybe not you in particular, but saying this to everyone.
