Well someone asked me for this so here it is... sorry I don't show much, I don't want our competitors stealing ideas.

Cool, looking forward to seeing it in action. Does having it run in java mean that it would be easier to integrate into web and phone apps?

[LightScribe]

Well I will tell after my expertise that Java can be run at anything =)
So to answer your question, Yes.

On that note are we the first to use Java for a wallet?  Whatever the wallet currently uses from best of my knowledge I can tell all the other wallets use similar design/code/programming.  Only one that I can tell that recently changes and perhaps its only facial change is WorldCoin, they wallet was redesigned rather recently and looks completely different than that usual but its kinda rough feeling now.  Anyways thanks Akumaburn!

I think we might be the first mineable cryptocurrency based on a multi-platform Java client.

There are other multi-platform Java wallets out there.  MultiBit is for bitcoin (https://multibit.org/).  This application uses the Bitcoin Java Library (bitcoinj).  The GoldCoin android wallet is based on bitcoinj as well.  The meme coin (Dogecoin) has a multiplatform java wallet also (MultiDoge) which is based on MultiBit.  MultiBit and its forks as well as the Android wallets are all lightweight wallets.  They do not store the entire blockchain on the computer.  You cannot run any service with these wallets (no block explorers) since they only store the most recent part of the blockchain.  Though the wallet files do contain transactions relating to the addresses contained in the wallet.  You would not be able to import a paper wallet private key either (unless the software is written to query the entire blockchain from another node to find all the related transactions - this is a feature that the current GoldCoin Android Wallet does not have).

However, the new GoldCoin client will certainly be unique because it will have [MODERATOR EDIT].

I received confirmation yesterday that the new client is almost ready for testing! ()

The new client is almost complete and should be ready for testing sometime in June.

Originally, we were shooting for a May 21 release date. However, Akumaburn had to develop a proprietary storage system from scratch so the coin would have on-the-fly-compression and a few other things, so that's slowed him down a bit.

The best estimate at this time would be sometime in June. As this window begins to narrow, he or I will provide additional status updates.

21 May or June ? 21 May is tomorrow !

As of this writing, again, the best estimate is a June release.
