New version of LightWallet available: v0.2
https://github.com/jwinterm/LightWallet2
https://github.com/jwinterm/LightWallet2/releases

Now written in Java using Libgdx library, designed to work with Monero release v0.9.x.

To run:

• Download binary (jar or exe for windows).
• Put in same directory as simplewallet (and if on windows libeay32.dll, libwinpthread-1.dll, and ssleay32.dll).
• Import wallet or create new wallet following instructions in program (following instructions in program).
• Use default remote node or swith to http://localhost:18081 if running your own bitmonerod.
• Try to let wallet sync before closing for the first time.

You shouldn't be in any danger of losing coins, as you will either import a keys file or seed, or create a completely new wallet and then delete/encrypt the sensitive information.

There seems to be a possible issue in counting previous transactions in a wallet file. If your unlocked and locked balance are green in the wallet tab, those are the numbers you should trust, and if they're green it should be OK to send a transaction.

It can take quite some time to sync a wallet, especially an old wallet with lots of txs on a crappy computer using a remote node - it might take up to several hours.

Please let me know if you have any issues, by posting issues on github, PM here, PM on forum.getmonero.org, here: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/903579.0, or here: https://forum.getmonero.org/20/general-discussion/166/lightwallet-a-lightweight-monero-gui-account-manager

Thanks for checking it out

Thx for the chart.  This correction to a 50% retracement seems perfectly normal after the big jump up from the 0.0010s.

Alt market is exhausted from the past two days.  Never seen a mass pumping like that before.  

Cryptsy/Bitlocker coins being cleaned across chains is my guess.  XT Part Deux, Gavin's latest attack fork, can't be helping either.

I speculate that most of the people who have been following Monero for a long time (non traders) are watching development much more closely than the price and like what they see in github.

The dollar price has not changed much recently, even though that in bitcoin price has risen. That is just because of the bitcoin price has dropped recently.

In theory, you want your currency to be relatively stable against the cost of food and other goods and services.

Monero's time is not yet IMHO. Lately we have seen a different focus

privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.
