So, do we really need the new wallet for anything to work?
Do we NEED one for any reason? No if the current one is working. But if you look at some other POS wallets, there are some nice features. The Summercoin wallet, for example, has the unlock button on the main page (so it's easier to unlock), plus it has a nice icon indicator that turns green when you have eligible coins and goes grey when you don't. Plus it has an estimation (not accurate though) that says what your stake weight is, estimated minutes until possible stake, etc...
oh this is great!
