@duru, nice response to a leading post.
@heartastack, your devotion to the coin is appreciated but your view of "fun" does appear to be trolling, at least t some of us. How about you leave taking flying kicks at newbies out of your array of amusements, at least on this forum?
To return to the original points, a wallet which does not reliably update for all comers is not a good look. It may well be clearly stated how to go about a workaround to make it work properly but how does the pitch go?
"Yes, we have all these really cool new features we're working on, we just can't make standard functions work like other coins."
Do you think that the most attractive path to new money? If not then fixing the wallet is of the highest priority rather than "we code so poorly we'll probably break it introducing new features anyway". That and hostile receptions on the forum are legitimate concerns to be addressed.
I think the devs are most likely working their asses off to get the new release done to just get that done... and in all honesty we haven't had a lot of new money coming in to ask questions, and not a lot of web buzz going on right now, I see a few things in some troll boxes here and there, but not much.
The reason I didn't think we should talk about the hostile receptions at that time earlier, was because I knew white lion was starting to get under some people's skin, and that blowout was going to look worse on the message board than dropping it right then and just letting it mellow out a little. (he started today's posts by trying to report thesociableme to the dev...) yet it ended up turning in to a flame war where nothing gets done anyway. I'm on the middle here, people should be advised to not invest more than they can stand to lose, and should be encouraged away from emotional trading. I agree that new members should be answered without hostility, but that last guy came in at a bad time, nothing more nothing less. a few of us were there to do what we could. If the lashout people want to lash out I understand that too, it gets annoying and some people are better at dealing with it than others, and to be honest they say some funny crap sometimes, even the stuff directed at me.
I think the best way to deal with the whole thing is keep the fud under controll as best as possible and help where you can. infighting is just useless though.
