The Decred Windows wallet GUI has been released as a testnet pre-release. It is native to Windows, early access with caveats, and without any bells and whistles (from RFP-1). But this is the foundation. Later on, native GUIs will exist for Mac OS X and Linux as well. Please read the announcement
here if you are interested in helping the project test it.
Nice work...
This should make some people happy for a day or 2 until they start complaining about no mainet wallet of course...
The Decred project is pleased to announce preview binaries for the Paymetheus Windows wallet GUI. These binaries are being released for interested early adopters and are not ready for production use. None of the RFP0001 design changes have been incorporated into this preview release. Expect bugs. At the moment, these binaries are only enabled for use on testnet.
