A GUI version of the Mastercoin Wallet. We are less than two months away from the first implementation of a user-friendly distributed exchange. The Mastercoin Foundation announced a launch date of March 15 for their distributed exchange, which means Mastercoin enthusiasts will get a chance to test out the kind of decentralized exchange that bitcoiners have been talking about for years. Although bitcoins and mastercoins will be the only currencies available for trade at launch, this is definitely a huge moment for the cryptocurrency community as a whole.

The Mastercoin Foundation announced its launch earlier this week. Its development team, let by JR Willet, hope to add a programmable 'money layer' on top of bitcoin's existing block chain. The development work will allow just about anyone to create their own virtual currencies using the existing Bitcoin protocol. In turn, this would allow new currencies to effectively 'piggyback' on bitcoin's infrastructure and economy. It isn't a simple plan, as Mastercoin isn't just another cryptocurrency, it's a new protocol - a protocol that could change the way people feel about virtual currencies. In....
