I think the most important thing is this:
Don't pre-announce your coins!!! Pools are not ready to handle the traffic. Scrypt is not ready to handle the traffic. Announce your coin when it is ready and everything will be fine.
I have mined a recently announced scrypt coin with prohibition to use gpu in the first 2 days of it's existence. Guess what...solo mining and no rejects no orphans just valid blocks.
Litecoin scrypt that is used for every altcoin was not designed for gpu it can handle at high difficulty but on low diff it is just a waste of time.

It is good that the GUI does not work, because the kind of people who feel they need a GUI also tend to be the kind of suckers who will buy into a coin whose hashing power is so abysmally pathetic that the thing is basically just a honeypot waiting to be PWNed at any moment.
Coins are financial applications, the very first thing should be security.
If you are not prepared to secure your blockchain all the GUI crap bells and whistles marketing etc etc is all just a giant scam scamming people into throwing their money away.

I am really annoyed that all the Altcoin's QT wallets doesn't work. Could all developers please... please... test all your software works before releasing them PLEASE!!
If you want your coin to succeed. This should be at the top of your list. Most users here uses Linux, because it is more secure to have your wallets on this OS. If your linux QT wallet don't work. You will have less people mining or collecting your coins.
Catcoin-QT wallet in Linux is a very good example, the developer released it. The wallet don't work for Windows, Mac and Linux. It took a lot of members of this forum to get it to work. And to this day, only catcoind is working for Linux, and the QT wallet still don't work. It even have a fork for it. And the developer even use the fork version in the announcement link. This is just plan lazy. You want your coin to succeed. Make sure all the wallets works before releasing your coin.
Peace.
