I'm on board with you guys. Every time I see flufflypony anywhere, it's quite discerning on the level of actual participation he portrays to the community. No matter where I go, I see, "why don't you work on the GUI", or, "we do this all unpaid and I'm not selling my small satchel of coin".
Small? The average joe is broke compared to these guys. You don't have to premine to buy half of your stash outwright when it's so new that someone selling their coins for .25 cents a piece thinks it's a rippin profit. Not only that, but being the first to actually mine when it hits shelves... The audacity.. It's a literal slap in the face.
Don't fret though, the millionaire will be back to plead his case. Probably tell us we should work on the GUI ourselves. I'm really losing hope in what I once believed in. It doesn't matter who can and can't use a CLI. The coin will never reach heights without a GUI. It's simple usability for any person wanting to get in but cant, because they aren't CLI friendly. Not everyone can compile from source, but everyone (figuratively speaking) can have a cash flow to spend on items.
I see that this programmer of the GUI is well-rounded in over a dozen languages, but can't seem to find out how to create a simple open source wallet. Maybe they talk him up more than he's worth, or maybe they're just sitting around having a good ole time.
Oh well. I'll still hold onto my small stash.
Thanks for pointing that out. The devs must be stupid not to have at least hundreds of thousands coins or more stored. However, they will be even more stupid to admit that to the public and get accused of scamming.
Regarding a GUI: mymonero.com will do for Average Joe. But be realistic. Average Joe is far from being a Monero investor.
