It seems the cheerleaders/lackeys on here are invoking convenient amnesia when something does not go in their favor. Again, where in the Sumokoin Roadmap is the "not too hard to implement" cold wallet/offline signing feature that "will be implemented very soon"?
Is the GUI wallet eventually going to have a cold wallet/offline signing feature if it doesn't already?
Not yet. We try not to implement advanced/rare-used features in first few versions. If someone really wants to use them, I think, he can easily start command-line wallet for now
It is an advanced feature but I don't think that it is rarely used. In fact, it is a must for cryptocurrencies. If you implement it, users will used it to secure their tokens. Don't wait until people start losing their coins. Wallets for the top coins have such a feature. It should be standard.
Thanks for advice. It's not too hard to implement, we'll need another tab on UI for advanced features, I think.
These proposed "smart" implementations are nice and cool albeit geek stuff. However, it's pointless to have them if the primary use case (i.e. functioning as cash) is not allowed to gain a foothold first and foremost. Transacting with (fiat) cash is easily accomplished P2P (person-to-person) and "on the go" by simply handing over physical notes to someone in exchange for goods/services or in conducting other forms of trading. Unfortunately, we can't do the same with cryptos. The closest thing would be to utilize a device that most (if not all) people already carry with them all the time -- mobile phones. In fact, we already transact with fiat currencies through these devices nowadays.
I hope the devs will not lose focus and deploy first and foremost the tools/apps that matter at this stage which are:
1. a simple, reliable, secure and private mobile wallet that connects to a trusted and secure node by default (for user friendliness out of the box) with an option to connect to a private node running at home or other locations that the user has control over (for advanced/paranoid users)
2. GUI cold wallet/offline signing implementation so that users don't start losing their stash while in the process of accumulating tokens.
Smart features could then follow thereafter...when Sumo will have achieved a relative degree of mass adoption. Otherwise, it will just be another speculative blockchain-based token like everything else before it (hopefully the devs have learned this lesson). Believe it or not, BTC's value/market cap is still largely fueled by speculation after eight years running and not by its touted primary use case which is as cash or cash-like. Which businesses/sevices/goods can you pay with BTC on a day to day basis to date?
1. Lite/mobile wallets are our priority at next stage.
2. GUI cold wallet signed/transfer will be implemented very soon.
Thanks for input.
Why are you always so provocative? You ve proposed a nice feature, I see from you last posts in other threads that this is a feature that you really want it implemented on a coin, Bill agreed that it is a nice idea indeed and said that he will implement it.
Bill is just one of the 4 devs that deals mainly with the coin's front end why dont you speak with him directly and remind him that he agreed to incorporate a GUI cold wallet signing before transfers and ask him if he has any news about it and why wasnt it included on the roadmap.
Using words such as lackeys and implying that devs are diverting from the coin's scheduled development just because they ve agreed 4 months ago that one of your ideas was nice and good to be applied is quite unfair.
Anyway Bill we'll see your message and reply regarding the cold wallet transfer signing I just wanted to comment on the way you post by meaning no offense
