I am prepared to be blow away by the website once it is released. just take your time devs, no hurry, but when it is online, i expect quite a lot. i have already commented about the need to create a website rich with information about various things, drawing people to visit the site again and again because of so much eloquently written information regarding not only monero, but the whole CN technology, the next step in internet anonymity, etc.
People should come there and sell all bitcoins and fall over themselves to be the first ones in line to buy this monero, the best thing since sliced bread.

We've rejected the notion of bounties for two reasons:

1. The amount contributed is rarely - if ever - close to a level of compensation a REALLY competent developer (or even a development team) expects. Very occasionally this is mitigated by someone who is willing to take a huge hit based on the potential future value of the bounty.

2. More often than not, it becomes a race to the bottom. A competent developer will spend a lot of time discussing, architecting, scoping, and planning before writing a single line of code. A bounty encourages a writing-code-so-that-it-kinda-works style of development. In the end, we are left with poorly thought out code that we have to maintain.

Yes curious isn't it?  They have stated that a new website was just about ready more than once.  If they don't care about a website then they should just say so.  It doesn't make much sense.  It's not rocket science.  My twelve year old niece could put up a better website in a couple of hours.  But in the end it's really about the coin.  And this coin is starting to lose it's appeal.  At least for me.  Especially with the blatant manipulation by a few large holders.      

Really? Your twelve year old niece could prepare guides for every platform on how to install and use Monero, replete with screenshots, in the midst of moving goalposts? Your twelve year old niece could prepare technical reference material for developers that want to use Monero in backend systems? Your twelve year old niece sounds incredible - please put her in touch with us and we will pay her for the couple of hours she has to spend putting this together.

I was thining about trying the QT wallet listed on the OP (Qt GUI (Cross-platform) by Neozaru). But when I follow the link, all I get his the repo on Github. I have searched around there a bit, trying to find a Windows binary, but haven't been able to find anything but the source.

Am I over-looking something? Is there somewhere else I should look? Or am I forced to build this from source myself.

Has Neozaru continued to work on the GUI wallet after the bounty was paid? I would think Neozaru (or someone) would have posted a working Windows build by now.

I'm probably just not looking in the right place, but a Google search didn't turn up anything useful. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Almost two months ago the devs turned away people volunteering to help on the web design, saying that they were working on it, and had a new site design that would be ready "very soon".

Are there any preliminary agenda regarding monero.cc improvements? Or is it a special intention to keep it looking like abandoned home page as long as possible?  Wink

Surely it's a minor task but some people still consider web site as a face of the project.

Both its appearance and presentation of the information could be much better organized and it's neither difficult and time consuming nor expensive. Even a simple ready site template, for example from http://themeforest.net/ can help to advance the current level in order of magnitude.

There's still a ton of work to be done till this is remotely feasible. Can you imagine if we had the world's most beautiful cross-platform wallet website right now, but to use it you the software needs several gigabytes of available memory, and it'll max out your 20mbps line?


I lol'd Smiley

We are working on a replacement site. Throwing a $20 template up is not a solution, as the visual aspect of the site is much less of a concern than getting the content right. There are so many things on the current site (from an information perspective) that is either downright outdated or needs serious reworking.

Thank you. That's very good that everything is under control!

Anyone know if monero trezor compatibility will be a possibility in the future?

would be grat  Grin Willing to pledge 10 XMR for implementing this!

I will pledge the same, 10 XMR... Can someone add it to the bounties on the op? TREZOR FTW!!! Smiley

What the hey. Throw 30 on the pile.

50 more makes 100.

wow, that escalated quickly!  Grin Any brave person that will add 100 XMR? Wink

http://pastebin.com/7CKY6eGw - Monero developers are stilling BCN code and implement it to XMR without any changes

And even other developers think that XMR devs are not qualified (https://twitter.com/lopp/status/472359052736204800)
Go back to troll school. Twitter entry and the paste are 100 years old, what's wrong with you?
Come up with better faked sources.

Post history speaks for itself, as does account registration date right around the time BCN was "discovered" after its widespread use for two years on the deep web.

Lame.

BTW, thanks for the thread bump Suzuki. We appreciate it!

[...] censorship arguments is only valid against governments, they have a right to what whatever they want in the website, even if its immoral but not illegal, its how it works...
but I would get really piss off if they go one step further and start writing lies.

Censorship is censorship, regardless of who is doing it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship

I also find it very odd that they've been so dead quiet on Monero, but I'm happy that it is so (for now). Global media coverage right now, could bring about a lot of frustration and an unfortunate perception or Monero's potential, since we're not quite ready for the masses to use (still a bit too geeky, daemon bloat, etc).

While it's surely not a problem for Monero, CoinDesk is actively avoiding reporting on it:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/coindesk-censors-monero-loses-credibility-722532

I've otherwise enjoyed most of the reporting coming out of there, which is why I'm so disappointed by this. Please join me in emailing/tweeting them and asking for answers.
