The wallet just freezes when I try to send anything. I barely have to click on 'send' for this to happen. It doesn't matter what amount or whether the address is generated by the wallet.
one last thing to try if you're keen enough
use a daemon, i have found them to be more responsive at times than the qt.
you will have to do a lot of command line typing
there doesnt seem an official release, so i have built one
i couldnt actually build a static coind (bloody bitcoin nerds hate osx!!!), so the necessary dependencies are included in a sub-folder.
it seems to work , fingers crossed..
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5j8d4FSc7drQ0k3dmI1bGlfOXc << not official !!!
(i have tested this on 10.8, and will check on 10.11 a bit later if i remember on reboot :p)

what you will need to do,
.edit QubitCoin.conf,
.start the daemon,
.when it's in sync, try a send command.
i have no idea what size your transactions will be, so you may as well start small (500 Q2C) and see if that works.
then go bigger
if you don't understand what you're doing, you're just going to have to be a good littly copy-pasta monkey and do it anyway. lol
---
you will need to add some settings to your QubitCoin.conf file, if you dont have one, there is one in the zip, so add some stuff, then move to appropriate location
edit QubitCoin.conf by adding
rpcuser=makesomethingup
rpcpassword=makesomethinguphereaswell
how to find your datadirectory, first go to Application Support using this article
http://www.syniumsoftware.com/support-article/how-do-i-navigate-to-the-application-support-folderthere should be a QubitCoin folder in Application Support, drag the conf file there.
if you're using a different datadirectory this will complicate matters slightly,
---
open Terminal, which is in
Application/Utilities/Terminal
commands you need to enter in terminal will be prefixed with a $
eg
$ ./qubitcoind & have removed them for ease of copy/pasting
navigate to where you put the qubitcoind,
in the finder show the folder
cd [drag folder from finder to terminal]
mine, for example, would be
cd /Users/User/Documents
now start the daemon, with some extra stuff to hopefully help,
these settings should depend on your ram, the below uses 1000mb for dbcache, feel free to ramp it up if you have loads of ram
./qubitcoind -dbcache=1000 -maxconnections=1000 &
the daemon should now be starting/loading,
once it is loaded you will hopefully be able to get interactions from it using the included qubitcoin-cli.exe
./qubitcoin-cli getinfo
how to send coins is
./qubitcoin-cli sendtoaddress Qaddresstosendtohere 500
if success, it should then give you a txid in response.
when you want to stop the daemon
./qubitcoin-cli stop
--
if the QubitCoin.conf is not correct, you might get this
Error: To use qubitcoind, or the -server option to qubitcoin-qt, you must set an rpcpassword in the configuration file:
if you cant get any response from getinfo, you could just try sending coins and leave it to see what happens.
you could always open your debug.log (in your datadirectory), it should open in Console and will update real time,
it's output will hopefully give you an idea of where it's at.
this sort of stuff means it's still syncing

if you are using a different datadirectory you will need to tell the coind,
to start
./qubitcoind -datadir=draglocationhere &
to do other things
./qubitcoin-cli -datadir=draglocationhere getinfo
=====
for extra value, if succesful you can automate the send process
this seems to work, it's a simple loop you enter into terminal
the following should send coins every 10 minutes (as long as you're in the right folder),
if successful you can change the amount of coins (5000 below), and time between sending (600 = seconds, 10 minutes)
while true; do qubitcoin-cli sendtoaddress GXQ3CHQ6qy4u4j3exXdz9WWUqqovBzXydj 5000; sleep 600; done
to end it
[ctrl]+c
or kill/close the Terminal window
