So we're slowly inching our way through the doldrums...community activity, trading volume, development? Are we going to reach the tradewinds soon? These flapping sails are unnerving.

The only thing that is going to stop that is a production ready database implementation and a simple to install and run official gui. Or credible information pertaining to the progress in these areas which speculators can use to price in a future release production ready database implementation and a simple to install and run official gui.

The upcoming 0.8.8.7 release will include the database, so I guess most unofficial GUI developers will also include that into their wallets. For me personally, something like MoneroX with the database included is sufficient. Remember that the official GUI will not be some half-baked simple GUI, but more an account type like GUI.

Its not just about a simple solution existing if it takes as much effort to learn about it as it does to just figure out how to use the command line Tongue

. People want to just be able to go to mymonero.com click download and click run on the file that downloaded and then have a simple intuitive and familiar gui magically appear right in front of their face. Of course you cant guarantee it but ideally you want there to atleast be a reasonable chance that monero gets up and running on their machine, in gui format, without hogging ram, if they navigate to the website and then proceed to roll their face on the keyboard.

I recently had a run in with bitshares while doing a job for someone. It was a god damned mess. But they got what i was talking about above exactly right. I downloaded the file. I didnt need to extract anything it just downloaded directly as an exe. I didn't need to install anything. Just double click the file that downloaded from bitshares.org and bam bitshares appears up and running on my screen. That was impressive.

I like your post, especially the "roll their face on the keyboard" bit.
Cheesy

You make a good point. But, do you not think that the Monero Team will deliver these things?

I personally do very much believe that exactly what you describe will be delivered, probably by the end of this year.

The LMDB works, and it compiles on windows 64, and there's a hacky way to get a LMDB-build GUI using MoneroX (see my above post)

You just showed screenshots of it working on your system, right? People would need to compile bitmonerod to work with the LMDB database, do the conversion, and then drop that in to MoneroX's resources->software folder.

The reason I'd be interested in doing this is because MoneroX crashes when doing transactions using a remote daemon, so I'd want to take it back to using a local daemon whenever I can.

I think everybody likes surprising people around here. It may feel like the doldrums, but people just work in silence. And who knows why we're in the doldrums, considering:

The LMDB works, and it compiles on windows 64, and there's a hacky way to get a LMDB-build GUI using MoneroX (see my above post)
roosma's working on trezor thing
Luigi's workin on a surprise
and I know of one other unknown development, perhaps 2.

don't worry, there will be a new missive soon.

hehe I'm not worried at all. Sometimes impatience gets the better of me. I was mainly referring to the low trade volume and the silent community (including me but I am incompetent so I'd rather lurk and keep it shut)

Anyway thanks for the news!
