What newbie restrictions do you speak of?

..where's my trollface.jpg

Hi, newbie and interested developer from texas.

Hoping to post a code update to an OSX widget but...well...not in newbie section, so...HI!

I win SSL error!

I put mine in on a Friday, had it clear by Tuesday afternoon. Although the verification of the bank account took about 4 days. In total about a week, which the last few days involved a jump from $9/coin to $30 

I was actually searching for something similar to what you're talking about. Found this post: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=5194.0 Mostly details on encryption w/ truecrypt (awesome program btw).

I would think bitcoin clients would offer a great benefit to users by offering this as a feature. Encrypt/Decrypt your wallet, choose what encryption method you would like, set secret key etc.....I guess it would end up looking just like TrueCrypt's interface
