What do you think is holding KMD back from having as big of a market cap as other similar projects like NEO and EOS?
IMHO all this wallet BS is the main thing.......this project launched on 01/09/2016......461 days and virtually every page on this thread has people struggling with wallets.

Agreed that the wallet issues have been a major problem, and it is bewildering why it was considered so low priority and has taken so long to fix.
It doesn't matter how hard the dev team works or how great the tech is, if the wallet is literally unusable this is a major and frustrating stumbling point that will turn many people away.
Having said that, once the wallet all the other teething issues have been sorted out hopefully the project will really take off and all the fantastic work jl777 and the rest of the team have done on a daily basis will be better recognized and appreciated.
On short term the wallet issues are not good for new users. They could get frustrated indeed. But this is new tech and it takes time to develop properly. In the mid-long term this period will be forgotten and you will be happy to joined Komodo!
What wallet issues are actually still left?
For example 24g does not install on Ubuntu
Beside some wallet fixes = some features turned off. Not a perfect way of fixing bugs.
Anyway it's just partial problem with gui, partial with way of communication / wallet notifications / announcing new wallets and some comments
on what condition they should work.If wallet will communicate on each unsuspected event what is the reason, and will contain some manual page and FAQ then this could help avoid shity questions and saying nothing works.
With communication there is also progress,+1 for publishing video tutorials, but good some way to link them inside wallet, or make inside wallets "release comments/usage/working conditions/tutorials).
So to sum it up, there are some improvements in wallet, however there are still some fixes to be done (and features to bring back) + communication to polish. I also believe this "around-wallet-communication-notifications" slows adoption and is reflected in market price: normal user simply downloads, installs, if sth does not work intuitively - he just deletes, if all works - buys KMD and sends to his wallet.
If anything does not function like it should or is different then in other commonly used wallets (here some "wallet functionality market analysis" needed) - then the wallet/app must communicate it with some notifications for first time users. Of course this is not a must have feature to work, but a must have to get a big adoption.
Hope my feedback helps.
