Yes 100%. right now on (deb based) linux for instance apt-get upgrade does the lot. Win and OSX will get autoupdaters as well. Electron makes this easy for apps (front end), but vaults a little harder but that is exactly the kind of experience we want. No command line stuff if possible.

Will the Vault eventually get a GUI?
i know you, all you are looking at your omniwallet how that number is growing

Perhaps an option, but it should be invisible to users mostly. More likely RPC controlled from a local app or launcher. Itās really more like an apache/httpd server thing and not a user thing. It will have (does already) a config file and there you will set up space/wallet address etc.

I thought the original idea was to build the vault into the launcher and give the user a choice on whether or not they wanted to donate resources to the network.
Cool, thank you so much for the great work. Worked already very good the last few daysā¦watching at the http://the.odyssey.safenet

Thank you for the explanation, very exciting times!
*cough @Seneca cough all of us *
They may be small in their amount of work required, but I really think they can be hugely powerful in their impact.
I also am taking this to mean that when the Alpha vaults are available to us all, we will have TestSafeCoin to work with, and very much hope I am correct!
Seeing your coins (even if they are test-versions) stack up while you configure your vault, or use your app, and go away when you upload data etc, will be hugely powerful to us all, and newcomers, even if itās just subconsciously. Will make everything seem so much more real, and will help spread the message of earning money with SAFE exponentially further throughout the world in my opinion.
We really need this at this point, as devs and potential farmers and even as onlookers. Many people are coming to this from Bitcoin and the economic drive is one of the strongest ones, as always. Anything to capitalize on that will help the project like nothing else.
Looking forward to seeing this part of Alpha materialize, above all else

Iām aware thereās a lot of work left to do until Beta, but I really want to extend my congrats and appreciation to David and all the developers and designers and marketers involved! Seeing Alpha is live, my jaw just about hit my cell screen.
