some feedbacks

Since I seemingly could not find the "create new post" link on the forum, resorting to here...

a few feedbacks: 1) It would be helpful I think to, when the client first starts, to ask "do you want to set a password to encrypt your wallet'? (if yes take them to the encrypt wallet dialog). I had been confused, since I knew 0.5 had "wallet encryption" I assumed it would prompt on startup... Also nice might be a message "first we have to synchronize with the network, this will take several hours, then you'll be ready to go" or some odd. 2) After synchronizing with the network, I believe the OS X client started *always* crashing on startup. Lost the backtrace but will post it here if I can reproduce it. 3) With the forum I can't seemingly reply or create new posts? (rogerdpack)

Cheers! -roger-

This sounds like an easy improvement. Anyone interested in implementing such a minimal "first-use wizard" ?

Please do.

I believe posting to the forum is restricted to certain boards for newbies.
