Being able to promote a fast SPV desktop wallet would be great! I went through an cycle of testing on multibit after I saw some complaints when it went up on the page before without at lot of discussion. There were a number of issues with it at the time, in particular the frequent deadlocks=E2=80=94 though Mike was saying that thos= e should be fixed. I see some of the the other things that were concerning for me at the time are still uncorrected though, e.g. no proxy support (so users can't follow our recommended best practices of using it with Tor), that it reuses addresses (esp for change), that it doesn't clearly distinguish confirmation level. It also make repeated https connections to 141.101.113.245? (I'm not seeing the IP in the source, and it doesn't have a useful reverse dns entry, so I can't tell what its for). Is there any timeframe for changing any of this stuff?
