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.

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.

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!
