Thank you @anoushk77 for the pr! 🙏🏼

New version of the web app rolling out now. Main changes include: 1. An import key feature to recover prior sessions (much requested) 2. An impossibly-too-large-to-ignore reminder to back up your keypair 3. Errors submitting txs should no longer require manual restart

An update on Ore supply distribution. One of my primary goals for the launch has been to get the token into as many hands as possible. To this end, Ore had no pre-mined supply nor insider allocation. The launch was designed to be as fair as possible, with supply starting at zero, and the best way to acquire the token being to mine. Five days in, ~6000 tokens have been mined and there are ~25,000 unique holders spread across the globe. It's hard to estimate exactly how many people are behind all these accounts, but the on-chain data helps give some ballpark sense of the size of the community. The top account in the leaderboards (FTap) – which Birdeye has flagged as "Creator" – is actually the Ore Treasury account. This is a special program account which holds onto all of the mined, yet-to-be-claimed Ore. Its token balance today stands at ~1.3k, meaning ~21.8% of the mined supply has yet to enter circulation. 3 of the 4 next largest holders are Meteora DLMM pools. In other words, these are tokens that have been deposited into liquidity pools for trading. So the largest individual holder today appears to be 7h3F who has a balance of 150 ORE or approximately ~2.5% of the supply. Following them is a smooth distribution with a *verrry* long tail. This is exactly was I hoping to see out of the launch. Despite the numerous issues affecting both the Ore app and Solana this week, a lot of people appear to have been able to mine and are now holding the token. I believe the launch has gone about as fairly as I ever possibly could have hoped for. There's still obviously a ton of work to do to ensure everyone has access to the chain and equal opportunity to mine. Solana networking issues need to be addressed, I have a bunch a bugs to squash, and we need to ship working native apps for Mac, Windows, Android, etc. But suffice to say, Ore appears to be one of the fastest growing token launches in crypto history and we're very well setup to begin thinking about the next phases of the mission: making Ore a practical and spendable digital currency. Mine on! ⛏️
