I don't think closed source will be good, haters gonna say the wallet did something wrong to their computers, while if it's open source everyone can look at source and compile. Of course other coins will use the wallet. But they will only have the wallet not the infrastructure particle will have to support the app's.
Just let it be one wallet with gui and secend without(but with open source code).
If someone is paranoid and affriad he should still use open source no gui wallet that would enough.
Yes offering two options to choose is a good idea
I've gotta get caught up and fix my main build machine. I had an SSD failure. One thing older SSD drive does not like is power "brownout". I think newer SSD has better firmware logic to handle better.
So, we had adjusted the mining to pull it back down and stretch it out. We can adjust it again to bump it up a little and try to strike the balance this time. But however we do it, I don't want to do another hardfork again for awhile so we better get it right this time
What I was thinking is we could package it up with the beta release of the new wallet as some kind of relaunch or something.
I got some high quality art of the logo from Snotty to put in the new wallet.
I've removed all existing Qt artwork etc. from the new wallet. So there is nothing compelling a source release of it for awhile and I'll probably sit on it for 3-6 months to give us some lead time. Once the surrounding ecosystem starts to come online it will be a lot harder for anyone to try to replicate. It is a tricky spot to be in though, because there is something to be said for the whole idea of open source and contributing some advancement back to the collective body of knowledge etc. I think we can strike a balance here too.
Good moonmoon, make a poll and allow us to vote, I think everyone agrees, but just to make things transparent.
