In the spirit of more frequent updates, here's what's been going on:
1. I got an 8 core linux box to expedite development of StealthSend and some of the other technologies we are working on. I've not only set up the OS, but have finished a basic development environment on it. I'm happy I did it, because this baby is FAST! Much faster than the 2006 iMac I've been using for the last 8 years. To ensure this development environment works correctly, I made a 64 bit linux build of the StealthCoin wallet:

I tested it on a fresh XUbuntu install with absolutely no extra dependencies installed, so it should work with any 64 bit linux system.
2. We are making headway on our mobile technology. The android app for trustless, secure sending, is probably 30% to 40% done, being hammered out by our security/android expert. That is putting a heck of a lot of pressure on me to make the changes in the wallet for the mobile technology. Now that my new linux box is functional as a development environment, I should make some pretty quick headway on the wallet modifications.
3. Our designer is back! I guess I can name him because his design firm appears at the bottom of the StealthCoin
web page. Sascha is a prolific designer and somewhat of a conceptual architect as well. He is single-handedly constructing a visual identity for StealthCoin while helping to create a organizational framework in which to put many of the development ideas that the team is working on. I don't know if I'm supposed to reveal it, but check out his work on the new blog:
