@@ -8,11 +8,11 @@ The requirements for running the program are: Python 2.7 (or 2.6 may work), Kivy
Currently there are no binaries available. I'm in the process of trying to compile an exe for Windows, and I think it should be easier to create binaries for linux. I've tested the program on Windows 7 & 8.1 and Debian Wheezy, and it seems to work OK on both. I think it should also work on Mac, but I haven't been able to test that yet.
## Running
It should be OK to launch the program with an instance of bitmonerod, simplewallet, or minerd running, but the program won't allow you to launch another instance of these programs if it detects their already running. So, unless you know that you are running bitmonerod and simplewallet in RPC mode, it's probably best to just launch them from within the GUI program. If you close just the GUI though, it should be fine to relaunch when one or all of the binaries are already running.

You can pass your wallet filename and password as arguments on the commandline, if you're launching from the command line, however this is currently not done in the most robust way possible, so make sure you just pass two arguments, the first being wallet name and second password, or the program will probably fail to start. I'm looking to make this more robust using argparse rather than argv.
## Future Work
There are several features I'd like to implement, the most important of which is probably tab or file keeping a record of all incoming and outgoing transactions. This is a really key feature that should probably be a part of any wallet, but I'm still having some trouble with incoming transactions, so it is delayed for the time being.
Another thing I want to change is using argparse rather than argv to parse command line arguments. This should make the program more robust (less crashy) and offer the user additional help at the command line. I probably want to clean up the interface and prettify it a bit more too. I'm open to suggestions too, so please open an issue or email me if you have any ideas, complaints, etc.
