Maybe it would also be nice to be able to pop a windowed alert when the client sees that a new version of the executable has become available on the website.
That should already be built in to the client. Should verify that the part of the code that handles this has been changed from LTC so it does not display a message when LTC does a notify. I think it has since I don't remember CSC being one of the wallets that displayed a message when the last important LTC update was alerted through the client. A lot of coins at the time did...it was funny to see which devs dropped the ball there.
Also, one thing worth discussing is whether we stay with scrypt or switch to another key stretching algo. Personally, I think that scrypt asics are a good thing. The scrypt asics concentrated mining and ultimately helped increase the value and longer term stability of the bitcoin network for instance. However, there are people out there that would rather continue promoting GPU miners. Any ideas?
Would prefer CSC stay scrypt as I (personally) don't see a good reason to switch. We should be looking for more hashrate not less and scrypt is the best bet for that.
