Alright... Is there a windows (or mac) installer for this or do I have to compile it to run the wallet software? Not having any luck with any of the download links, and trying not to sound like a dumbass here...
Well your not sounding dumb at all. Right now the windows link on the front page has a zipped file with no executable in it. They are in the process of releasing the latest version and unfortunately having a couple delays.
The link from a few posts back does have the latest; but, I think, you have to consider it BETA because it has a check point warning that will need to be resolved. It will give you a wallet though if your looking to solo mine.
