Any news on updated versions of the wallets as the coin could do with some positive news? There have been a lot of posts in this thread about syncing issues so a bug fixing release would be good. I'm sure it was on the roadmap a few weeks ago. Also I'm using the QT client on win7 and I've noticed that the GUI does not give options for withdrawal limits and purging the database, which is a shame as having these features in the GUI would show them off to new users. No point in hiding innovative features in the command line especially for us windows users :-)
Could we add a paper wallet generator to the roadmap? Some sort of bitaddress clone. It's not a big deal but a useful part of any coins ecosystem.
I was reading about account pruning and my understanding is that it isn't implemented yet and it's more of a long term project. I have an idea for how to make account pruning possible in the future for accounts which haven't been touched for along time to deal with coins in lost wallets.
'lasttransactionblock' would be a new variable for each account to record the last time the account sent or received a transaction. Miners would need to update the field for both sender and receiver for every transaction to the current block.
This can then be used later to prune addresses with no transactions for say 5 years to top up the coinbase account to pay miners rewards. So the inevitable lost coins can be used to pay for security without adding inflation or high transaction fees.
Obviously this new variable would need a hard fork as all the nodes would need to agree on it but this can be added to any future hard forks with important changes to address other issues such as mining pools.
