Re: beta wallet...

Ok, enough with the "just download the rar, unpack it, and run!!1!" bullshit. That is not how a software upgrade is done. Put it in a godsdamned installer already.The user should NEVER be faced with the prospect of two seperate "installed" wallets or having to search for %appdata%. Haven't y'all ever dealt with nontechnical folks? The idea of having to delete the old wallet software is enough to send many prospective users into hyperventilation.

Single file. Upgrade in place. And Windows should see it in the add/remove programs list.

This is basic UI 101 stuff and we should set some standards now, while it's early.

Sure. do you want to donate some HYPER so we can fund one click installs and auto upgrades? These things cost money and time.

After people are on the new wallets (1.5.2.1 and above) there is no need in future to go to %appdata% folder. That is only necessary the first time people upgrade to either 1.5.2.1 or 1.5.3.1 as there is a new format for the blockchain which is why the bootstrap is needed.

New users don't even need to do this at all they can just download and run the wallet they want. Using %appdata% is a one-off the first time people upgrade to the new 1.5.2.1 or 1.5.3.1 versions. After that it really is unpack, click and go which is even faster than having a full blown bloatware windows installer.

We have tried to make it as simple as we can with the budget we are working with but we will take your feedback on board. Constructive feedback is always taken on board. Thanks!
