Troll any word on when the Linux/Mac wallets will be updated?
I have my mac set up and ready to compile the osx client. I want a more general purpose linux binary as the ones I've compiled have been coming from a 64 bit arch system, and it seems like the majority of users are running on debian wheezy (on which it is already difficult for the average user to get a compile going) and I'm thinking of releasing debs along with the flat binaries.
The first priority is fixing this overly complex build system to simplify the release cycle.
warning: opinion following
I really don't understand how the crypto community (majority) can just keep cloning bitcoin/litecoin sources and patching "features" into it. The current build system works great for one or two projects, but when you've got hundreds of altcoins out there all with different library dependencies (all based on when they were forked from whatevercoin) it becomes a mess keeping up with all of it. We have to fix this as in my opinion, it only serves to help keep this codebase an unmaintainable mess of largely undocumented disorganized code.
And you've also surely read my statement on the matter. TL;DR - People in this thread need to chill out, on both sides of the issue. I never insulted anyone, nor did anyone on the team. Some of our supporters surely did, but it isn't my place to apologize for them, and I will not. They are as entitled to their opinions as you are, regardless of how furious it makes anyone else, but that does not excuse personal attacks from anyone.
That said, I stand by my statement that the price is irrelevant. I'm not trying to make money here, so I couldn't care less if the price dropped to 1 satoshi. I'm trying to write code that could potentially strengthen crypto as a whole. While I don't agree with the majority of what you say, and have seen quite a bit of FUD from you in the past, I am seriously angry with the personal attacks that you have received and stand firm with you on that matter.
Basically this: I don't have to like you or what you say to respect you. I just wish the entire community, on both sides, would drop the childishness and focus on what we're trying to accomplish here.
