With the weaver I hope for future projects:
1. Super simple silk staking wallet interface
-basically a tiny window with just my balance and one button to unlock for staking
2. Bitcoin headers-first protocol applied to Silkcoin
Thistleblower I hope one or both of these would solve your (and other users) issues.
a small wallet?
weaver let go.
I think having a lite wallet based on Multibit would be a great idea, i have no idea on the work involved though, but its been done with Dogecoin, so it is possible.
Just an option to disable Market Data (preferably On By Default) would be enough. The recent Mintpal failure has shown that the wallet will not launch if there is a problem with Market Data. It has also shown that the Fix is not dependent on issuing a new wallet. The feeds are controlled from a central location.
This means that a fault in the Feeds for Market Data can Prevent the Wallet from Opening and prevent users from accessing their coins.
Putting it another way... an attack on the market data feeds may currently prevent users from accessing their funds. This is not a small issue. It could affect every Silkcoin user (certainly those who use the Windows wallet). If I can't open my wallet because it will not open when there's a problem with Market Data, then my coins might still be safe, but they're beyond my control.
So, with respect, I suggest that it's an issue which requires urgent attention.
