Yeah, so i keep reading..soon soon..  but nothing, yet.

Well, to be fair, there's been a little more than nothing. They have implemented several things that no other cryptonote has: a real database integration for the blockchain, per kb tx fees, and a novel checkpointing system. That's not to mention the code review, cleanup, and commenting that has been ongoing, putting up bounties to get some open sourced, non-crippled miners, as well as bounties for unofficial GUIs, and also paying or putting time in themselves to have the cryptography outlined in the white paper reviewed. So yea...practically nothing  Roll Eyes

is there going to be an UI for mac before x-mass?  Undecided

For now, if you have troubles installing command line tools, you can use my recipes https://github.com/sammy007/homebrew-cryptonight



This coin deserves a proper wallet already.

Yes it does.

That's why it is being developed. Tongue


we are in a situation where this coin with a MC of 3.2M doesn't have a proper wallet. 7 months now.. I'm holding, but somehow it's sometimes hard to see the value in this coin other than the distribution fairness etc. i mean we are dealing with lots of real money here..

Well, loot at it this way.

Monero has a 3.2M market cap even without the GUI, with high transaction fees, being a memory hog, with a pitiful website, [insert all the other whining here].


The dev team is active, and as they have stated there are a lot of ongoing efforts that are reaching maturity soonTM.

So grab your towel and don't panic!




Yeah, so i keep reading..soon soon..  but nothing, yet. I'm also going to continue buying as i have already made up my mind about taking a risk with this one. There's really nothing else left that i can do except whine about the situation cause i can't help with code in this particular case.
Better be HUGE when the wallet come out!   Roll Eyes

It could then be amassing more people over time while the rest is gradualy worked on.

Saying there are  "useable" wallets (complicated and technical heavy) is only a turn off for new discoverers without in depth technical knowledge and confidence.

I feel if the wallet included some mining capability too that could solve some of the other issues, such as securing the network against botnet attack and oversized pools.





From my limited experience with the wallet...there is at least a "mining" function in the help section. I am currently under the assumption that the other developers just have created more efficient miners than the standard wallet/bitmonerod software combo.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
Not sure where to post this. But as far as running the XMR wallet goes. Does the bitmonerod really need 3 GB of memory to run?? That kills my little laptop. Is there anyway to decrease all that memory usage? Is that normal?

It is normal for now. There is an experimental (currently Linux only, and you must compile it yourself) version that uses a database and has minimal memory usage. See the latest Missive for a link.

Or just increase the size of your virtual memory's swap file.

That only sort of works in terms of performance. It would likely work fine once most of the blockchain got swapped out except for the load of the blockchain on startup and the saving of the blockchain every 12 hours, both of which force the entire thing into RAM.

Thanks for the tip; that's good to know.

I'll instead recommend buying an SSD and more RAM instead.  Welcome to 2014!

Please price, raise a little bit faster. I'm waiting for too long in this coin.

Price here, sure, how high would you like me to go

0.01BTC would be good for starters.

Roger that, let me prepare and spark up. A noticeable effect should be visible within 30 minutes.

Where are you Sparky? Huh
