The more I think about this proposal the more backwards it seems.  Please convince me otherwise, though.

It actually removes incentive to participate in the initial stages of a project when the most work needs to be done.  To quote from cob's cross post announcing the same novelty for his new Music DAC:

"As the DAC matures, dilution will be less and less necessary, until it becomes a thing of the past."

Imagine I am a web designer and will be payed in the Music DAC's "Notes" (the currency) to make the DAC's first website.  500 Notes is the price. Why would I accept this job offer if I know that in a years time dilution will rapidly negatively affect the value of labor I invested?  Wouldn't I much rather avoid new projects and only participate in those which have established themselves where the currency is less inflationary?

if pushing transactions to the network became possible like in this scheme: https://blockchain.info/pushtx

it would then be possible to have a cold storage account where the owner key never touches the internet and you could fund any hot account you create from it.

I'm playing around with the new release of the GUI offline, mostly to learn about the console functions, and noticed that upon removing the program and reinstalling I am no longer presented with the option to create a new wallet.  I get the "Unlock" screen.

This happens if I try to uninstall with the built in uninstaller or uninstalling through the control panel.  Does anyone know a way to do a completely fresh install in Windows without wiping the hard drive?

Thanks Riverhead and robrigo for the great answers. 

I also have an old mac, and it's also never worked for me.

If there is not enough liquidity it is also possible for the network to "print" BTSX necessary to make great deals relative to a trusted feed. 

BTSX might become "printable"?  Could someone EILI5?  As a holder of BTSX this doesn't sound so good on the surface.

Thanks gamey,

I'm familiar with wine so maybe I'll try that first.  Which version of the wallet was working for you with wine?  Is that version still available / would it still work on the network (that old version)?

If that doesn't work I'll try to figure out what a PPA is and go that route.  It would be nice if the whole thing were somewhat easier to get installed.  Do you know if binaries are planned?
