That's been addressed time and again. A GUI wallet is a LOT less of a priority than making shit work correctly and documenting the code. If they spent their time making a GUI wallet for 0.9 instead, you'd be bitching about the RAM usage. There's no winning with you guys here - you got a nice, somewhat clean and complete codebase to work off of, and even get to merge BTC commits that fix shit if you wanna. XMR devs are damned near alone with the codebase, and it's far from clean and complete, even obfuscated in parts.
That's true. Our technology is based off a tried and true system, and it integrates seamlessly with existing interfaces already built for the Bitcoin infrastructure. All we had to do is fix all the downfalls of Bitcoin. Monero is starting from, well, a completely new and complex, unreadable, unverifiable project, Bytecoin. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes but it's been almost a year, and I have no idea if any work has been done on monero since? Personally, even if you can prove that nothing bad can happen to the coin, like more coins being created than are supposed to be, or double spend resistant. The bloat and fact that it is so behind current technology means if it's at all possible for Monero to succeed it'll be so late, zerocoin will already be out.
Currently Monero and other cryptonote projects are only interested in one thing. Hiding transactions completely. Dash, on the other hand, obscures ownership of coins so they can not be traced, period, They can't be traced after a single mixing, but we can mix as many times as we like, and this enables us to be infinitely certain no malicious masternodes were able to record what happened with the funds. Even obscurity, with the added unintended consequence of inability to externally verify anything, including how many coins are produced, mixing is only slightly less secure. The trade off is obviously a big deal. Fungibility vs obscurity, like Toknormal always says, it's no contest even on Monero's one and only offering.
But Dash doesn't stop there. Dash is instant, it will soon be super easy and more secure than ever for non-techie folk to use. And lord knows what else the guys n gals at Dash Core have coming up. They sure do seem excited, moreso than any time before. And look what has already been created! I don't know about you, but the team has me unable to sit still in my seat, I'm so excited!
Frankly, Monero has so many flaws and has so little support, I can't understand why you all keep coming over here to flaunt it. Even if it's not obvious to you, it's obvious to everyone here that Monero isn't going to go anywhere, and you're definitely not winning over any hearts and minds from this thread.
It's either desperation of Monero people (maybe it helps, as I can't see why in the world Monero is so high on the market cap list) Or pure envy and jealousy and mental illness, or are you all paid trolls from governments and banking institutions? I don't know, but you won't stop Dash. Dash is the best thing out there, most well thought out and functional solution. I don't see anything in the way, except for mass adoption, which will be plenty difficult for any coin to achieve. In fact, unless you want to kill cryptos, you should be working with us instead of against us, toward mass adoption. I'm sure, for some, Monero could be used as another layer of mixing. Some people put a lot of faith in complex math. I like the beauty of simplicity. As Einsteain said, "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." That's beautiful, and so is 3 input mixing.
