Nope. It says that "at least 10GB will be installed (now) with more over time". Very clearly.
Hey barabbas! What version of the wallet did you download and where did you download it from? Maybe someone who has a PC can try to replicate your issue to see what's going on so we can try to come to a solution
As for some of your previous comments regarding Roshan and his dedication or commitment to SFR, I believe may be a little misguided. I, in no way speak for Roshan or on behalf of SFR, but simply as an active community member who cares and believes in SFR's future.
In my opinion the wallet alone is worth many times the current price. By I see several problems, chief among which is the one evidenced by "Digithusiast" -and which brought me here too-: No one knows of Saffron in altworld, no one. And ther name is one of the least-appealing names possible in crypto also, with the logo being a close follower. It appears that Roshan doesn't want to get the coin promoted because he doesn't want hype... well, not-hype in alts today means death of the coin, as simple as that. If investors hadn't heard of a coin, even if it is the best, it will simply die forgotten in a sea of scandal/scam-ridden It just won't work in the long run. , over populated scene with more and more scarcity of funds to invest. HYPE IS NEEDED. And, in this case, it won't be hype, it would be promotion of a great technical project, a very undervalued one.
I have already pointed out the other dangerous direction this coin project is going towards: Decentralization. Specifically a real decentralized market. It is a waste of time and resources... buit I won't repeat myself since I have recently addressed the subject here.
If I were Roshan, I would concentrate my efforts in letting people know a) that Saffron exists and b) that is one of the best altcoins and probably the most undervalued of all.
I agree! I think the wallet is top notch too and is actually one of the first things that caught my attention and brought me into SFR. I personally do not think the name needs to be changed. I don't have the largest background in south east asian studies, but if I'm not mistaken, Saffron (both the color and spice) play an important and influential role within the history of India, Buddhism, and Hinduism. A lot of south east Asia could tremendously benefit from crypto currencies and i've always understood SFR as one means to achieve this. This is a long term goal any and all crypto currencies (including bitcoin), and nothing that "hype" can accomplish. For any crypto currency to be considered legitimate it must have a large enough market cap that the price wouldn't be terribly affected by hype or (his twin half brother) fud. Gaining any significant traction in a south east Asia county, like India, would benefit any coin (again including bitcoin) more than any "hype" could do. The type of promotion demonstrated by crypto currencies in the past has proven ineffective and short lived, and often times and final "nail in the coffin". If someone were to provide a truly unique marketing plan which would overcome the follies of coins past, please be my guess I'd be the first to tip them some SFR
SFR, in my opinion, is one of the few coins taking a different approach in regards to targeting new demographics (outside of crypto), which again speaks to the coin's name. From the information Roshan provides the community, it sounds like there's great things in store for Unocoin and Saffroncoin.
My friend, coins can not live nor die, so how can you kill something that cannot live (half joking)
But in all seriousness, all crypto currencies (both hyped and not-hyped) are all
dead. Most if not all, are dropping in volume, price, and liquidity. I have seen no evidence of "hype" ever preventing this from occurring. Let's be honest too, hyping will do nothing for the coin but gain price in the short term. The only new people to be attracted to the coin will be people within the crypto community whom have heard/read/seen the hype disseminated by you (and your team?), but this price increase is so small relative to the value many of us perceive SFR holding in the future, that it hardly seems worth it.
Let me poorly paraphrase the great 1993 Film
The Sandlot : "Remember kid, there's hype and there's delivering. Hypes get remembered but delivering never dies, follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong."
Of course when a coin's price drops people, naturally, look for reasons. That's when the dev comes in and reassures them investors or otherwise defends the project. And yes it is normal for people to travel but in today's world travelling doesn't mean absence since we are connected 24/7 regardless where we travel. No one is implying Roshan doesn't deliver but a coin project should be an as dynamic and flexible one as possible for it to be successful. Unless totally failing, a very active BTCT thread is a clear proof of interest and success, especially if the content is worthwhile rather than the usual confrontation/defense crap between skeptics and cheerleaders. Frequent presence of the main dev is a necessity.
I do agree and it's something i'm victim too, we all should be more active on the bitcointalk thread. However, I don't agree at all that an active BTCT thread is a clear proof of interest and success, but that's a debate for another day
Roshan has literally been away for no more than 4 days, calm down
Roshan has told us all many times that he is a full time crypto developer (which includes SFR and freelancing work), neither of which have negatively impacted the performance/development of the other. He's got bills to pay and mouths to feed and being a crypto developer is how he gets it done. Yes, this means that there's times when he might be working on a project that's not SFR but he has always delivered and SFR has always been his number 1 priority. Also if he's not responding here, check out the #sfrcoin freenode irc channel, as he is post around there as well.
I do agree that a regular community update might be a good idea, but expecting one every day would be silly. In that regard, I don't think the frequency of the update would be as important as the consistency of occurrence. This information could be available and disseminated to both new and current investors and traders, and I could see it as a weekly newsletter either emailed out to a list and/or posted on the BCT thread and maybe the SFR website.
