Is there a web wallet for this alt coin?

Yes, MyMonero, it is run by one of the core-team members, namely Fluffypony. However, always use webwallets with the usual caution. That is, it's not advised to store larg(er) amounts on it.

MiniNeroDroid

MiniNero phone wallet for Android

This is currently in alpha state, and is about 60-70 % functional on the test server. Not suitable for actual use yet.

This should eventually be feature equivalent to the existing windows version:

If there are any android/java developers we could use some more resources.

As far as I know 0.9.3 should auto refresh. As far as asking a bunch of specific questions about your wallet the best bet is to jump onto freenode IRC #monero and ask on there.

This board is available to search and documents the answers, so why ask to go to #monero? 

0.9.3 doesn't refresh, so why is that?  This could be a problem where your coins are stolen and since it doesn't refresh, you may think they are still there, right? Is there a bug or is there a problem with my wallet?

Regarding refresh, autorefresh should work in 9.3. However, in case it doesn't work what is wrong with just typing refresh?

In trying to find out about what happened in my sweep_dust, I did a rescan and everything in my wallet appears good.  I have made a note to run the refresh every time I open my wallet now, an auto refresh would be nice, not a big deal.  I don't open the 'ol wallet too much I'm going to hold and pray it hits out of the solar system, I have a feeling secure money is smart money.

For old wallets, I think auto-refresh isn't set. Type "set auto-refresh 1" into the simplewallet console.

bitmonerod doesn't, but in order to find the chain with the highest cumulative proof-of-work, that is also verified, it needs to actually download the alternative chain and verify it.

That means you are connected to a peer that thinks the height is 1009962, hence the minus 2 days ahead.

It will soon be followed by a message stating that that peer was blocked in relaxing light blue letters.

I did not get to point completely.

Has bitmonerod, or does it think it has a wrong blockchain? And is bitmonerod going to download a whole blockchain again, such a blockchain it thinks is a real one? Or has it to be done manually?

Well ok. But how an from where the bitmonerod anyway gets the real highest one block, the block 1013521? While bitmonerod at the same moment thinks the highest one block is 1009962.

Probably just a naughty peer. That is, a peer that is still on an old version and thus got booted off the network after the hardfork. Use "diff" and/or "status" on bitmonerod to check which block height you are on, it should be equal to the blockheight on moneroblocks.info. It gets the right/current blockheight from peers that are on the right version.

Your node evaluated its current chain as the longest valid chain (the one with 1013521 as the top block).
Then it got info from that other block a different top block (1009962).

Your node will now have to check that chain in order to determine if it is valid according to the rules (protocol) it has.
And it also checks which chain has more work on it.

It is this evaluation of every block by every node in the network that sets an agreement (consensus) about which top block (meaning which chain) is the valid one.

Monero added to Cryptopia:

Yeeeeeaaaahhhhhhh 

More exchanges are a good thing for Monero. As always keep large amounts in cold storage and only trust exchanges with funds you plan to use to trade.

Since Cryptsy died. Anoncoin has often been at or near the top of the Cryptopia volume list. This means there is already an audience for financial privacy on the site. Sounds like they added Aeon too:

Do you have suggestions for how the developers should respond to this threat now (aside from panicking)?

Quantum Computers capable of performing such complex operations as would be involved with cracking traditional cryptography are many years away.  Currently they can barely perform the most basic computing tasks.

In addition I see no reason why when the QC technology matures over the coming years that same technology couldn't be used to create QC resistant cryptography.

There's also the fact that cryptocurrencies are very very low down on the list of things to crack once someone has quantum computers that can crack cryptography.

We might be a big deal around here, but outside of here, we're not.
