*UPDATED*

We just successfully built and did a send from a Windows-7 Qt version of the wallet!

This means our development lab at Strength in Numbers Foundation is fully operational!

We are looking for people to help us verify that the Windows 7/8 wallet is on-par with the last public release:

When it fires up and sync's post your Receive address here and I will send you 100 coins to verify that it works -- yours to keep!

We sometimes have issues with Cloudflare -- let me see if I can post it somewhere else like drop box

Its good new wallet ,im watching this coin

* THIS IS THE PRIMARY REASON WE HAVE ASKED BITTREX TO DISABLE TRADING *

It's obvious to anyone who watches the block explorer that someone is exploiting the KGW function in Givecoin

They hit it HARD and pop blocks left and right, sometimes multiples in the same second -- and when the difficulty jumps up -- they leave us all holding the bag.

THIS IS BEING ADDRESSED IN 2GIVE

The Proof of Staking will help somewhat, but fundamentally the block emit time needs to be dynamic.

We are proposing that a new system be implemented to leverage a MINIMUM inter-block time that will need to be +/- one minute from target -- unless the block contains actual non POS transactions in which case the block should be immediately confirmed and rewarded.

Other ideas in addition to checkpoints include simply rejecting solutions from any node that has solved the last 3-5 blocks to prevent a 51% attack.

FANTASTIC!  Thank you so much for helping confirm that we have achieved a new stable build environment!

We have one last job to do with getting the Mac OS X Qt app to bundle up for distribution and then we will shift gears towards migrating to POS, fixing KGW and the GUI changes ala Clean Water Coin style.

I'm optimistic that we'll have the Mac OS X issue wrapped up in a day or so.

The Strength in Numbers Foundation development lab is starting to get busy!  We just took delivery of our 64bit iMac on Friday and are preparing the build system now (32-bit on the left, 64-bit on the right)

I hesitate to run a survey here since I'm told that the BTT implementation might be broken...

But I would like to know if there is an interest in having the Strength in Numbers Foundation team build and certify a Linux Qt wallet in addition to the Windows and Mac OS X wallets.

What do you think about working to have GIVE be merge-minable with KARMA ?

We are exploring shifting away from the broken and currently exploited KGW emit function in favor of the Digishield implementation.
