Hi guys,
This would be a big step forward. Anecdotally I can report that <5% of *
non-nerds* who don't abandon Bitcoin after waiting for the initial
blockchain download and *ongoing* sync on every restart, end up using
blockchain.info simply because it just works and works on their iPads &
iPhones.
Conversely, all the serious nerds end up using Armory and/or Brainwallets
for ultimate control.

I went through an cycle of testing on multibit after I saw some<br>
complaints when it went up on the page before without at lot of<br>
discussion. There were a number of issues with it at the time, in<br>
particular the frequent deadlocks=E2=80=94 though Mike was saying that thos=
e<br>
should be fixed.<br>
<br>
I see some of the the other things that were concerning for me at the<br>
time are still uncorrected though, e.g. no proxy support (so users<br>
can't follow our recommended best practices of using it with Tor),<br>
that it reuses addresses (esp for change), that it doesn't clearly<br>
distinguish confirmation level. It also make repeated https<br>
connections to 141.101.113.245? (I'm not seeing the IP in the source,<b=
r>
and it doesn't have a useful reverse dns entry, so I can't tell wha=
t<br>
its for). =C2=A0Is there any timeframe for changing any of this stuff?<br>
