I would like to invest in some of these coins but have tried to download and install the wallet by using the new binaries link but I don't get a wallet as such just some files.
Is there an idiots guide to creating a wallet so I can buy some coins to put in it or is there far more to it than that?

This coin is not a bitcoin clone and so it hasnt yet a graphics interface. Its command line for now. But there is a bounty for GUI and soon there must be one...
Remember to backup your wallet once you create it!
Are you on windows or linux btw?
Thanks for your reply and the link. I've already looked through that and it doesn't make much sense to me I'm afraid, perhaps if I spend some time on it later after work it might.
Yes its the graphics interface part that I'm not used to. Must have been spoiled with all the other coins I've tinkered with
.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.
Its very simple, download the windows 64bit binaries and the recent windows blockchain from OP. You will get 4 files in binaries package.
Go to the Users/xxxxx/appdata/roaming/ folder and create a new folder named bitmonero . Put the blockchain file (Which you downloaded) there.
Now start bitmonerod.exe. It will say 'You may now start simplewallet' and 'Synchronized OK' in green when done.
Then start simplewallet.exe , it will ask for wallet name, choose your name, then enter password (REMEMBER IT)
It will generate a new wallet address
No you can start receiving coins. PM me if you need any help
