Sounds promising.

Final UPDATE on my quick little Monero GUI test trial run guys...

Sent back the few bucks worth to my Polo account... 0.004 fee for low mixin and it went right thru, very smooth and quick.

Very nice simple clean interaction overall for this wallet.  

I noticed a few quirks/glitches here and there but nothing fatal or out of the expected for a BETA (just basic stuff like clicking Address Book doesn't open anything, help "?" icon also nonfunctional yet, etc...)

Honestly the only thing that I *would* really like to see added is better FEE CONTROL info and editing, before constructing the transaction itself.

As it works now, for example, if you want to send out your whole balance you have to enter the number, click send to "try" it, let the wallet tell you it's not enough, and see what the proposed fee is, then take that fee, subtract it from your balance number, re-enter everything again and THEN send it... leaving you with your 'zero balance' as you like.  

This is pretty convoluted LOL and it'd be much nicer to just have a fee-control slider or text box or something direct like that.

Anyway... overall VERY NICE so far and I expect that this GUI wallet when *finally* released will be very well received, and hopefully help lead to our next Big Wave Expansion of user base: Onward And Upward!!!

This is what I feel too about BTC, and it feels like a lot of people are in denial about the potential impact of what looks like an inevitable stalemate re SW. Looks like it could drag on for months/fail totally, and I find it very hard to see a strong, sustainable BTC rally under these circumstances.

Meanwhile Eth and ZEC look more like sources of entertainment than sound investments, and XMR development continues at what seems to be an increasing pace. Might be a bumpy ride, but it seems like a nice window of opportunity is opening up for XMR to exploit  

And yes, more accessabilty to users can only be a good thing. Glad we got back on track with Jaxx - kudos to fluffy and the devs for staying at the table there

Jaxx wallet (supposedly) a bit closer to completion.

JaxxJohn: ...yes, we are currently working with fluffyponyza to get integration finished. I should have some more updates soon

Really hoping I can pick up a few more coins before we have working GUI wallets up and running, because I believe this is one of the only things holding XMR back at this point.

From the Trollbox in Polo -   
"JaxxJohn: OaktreeCapital, yes, we are currently working with fluffyponyza to get integration finished. I should have some more updates soon "

It seems Jaxx and Fluffy have finally combined forces.  Good days for Monero

I agree, Whenever a BTC run stalls or backslides XMR is the place to be.

Still Bullish but expect sideways as well.

I think (based on hunches) it's the failure of the much-expected BTC run that is prompting people to look for fun elsewhere.  It really doesn't feel like BTC will moon now - too much Segwit / possible infighting over it to fuel the run and even a dump looks possible.

So, Zcrash has been allowed out to play again to the fools gallery, but the smart money sees XMR with its possible GUI 'good news' story Soon™, as well as its historic XMR /BTC inverse relationship hedge appeal, meaning we are looking sweet.

However...  I still think we don't moon yet.   My gut feeling is we won't go much over 0.0125 if we reach that high - and even if we do, a new real run to ATH levels will not be until spring.

That said - keep an eye out, coz if BTC really crashes in December?  All bets are off and we might just have a better XMRmas than ever. 

Personally I'm range trading trying to cost average down a touch and increase my stash a little.  I am pretty evenly balanced BTC / XMR, but glued to the screen. Trading this volatility is good fun whatever happens....

Looks great! But honestly, I'm used to the CLI wallet.
I hope CLI wallet will still be available after the GUI has been released.

Ethereum scam going down,  someone should take its marketplace and marketcap

XMR is showing some reversed head and shoulder pattern on the 1-day and 4-h chart, this could be a nice bullish breakout.

brooo trump is king of the world....we're all Americans now.....

Is no one interested in the price shenanigans?!

I know it's Thanksgiving and all that, but not all of us are Yanks ;-)

Whatever happened to 'speculation'?

in that case the readme to the pre-betas should be fixed ^^ that is the pool jaqueeee stated

the remote daemon you are connected to has the wrong version

Jaquee,

Just ran the Windows 32-bit wallet, set the node address to - node.supportxmr.com... getting the following Network Status message in the bottom-righthand corner - 'Wrong Version'.

Also on the setting pages there are 3 options - 'Daemon Address', 'Manage Wallet', and 'Close current wallet and open wizard' - there is no 'orange button' to the right of 'Manage Wallet'

Thanks,

24Kilo

Thanks for your kind words. Seems like i have a lot of beers to collect!

I've added a Windows build here if more people would like to test
https://github.com/Jaqueeee/monero-core/releases/tag/pre-beta

Nope! Nothing CPU or RAM heavy.
It started quicker, and then once I had a 'base' I was getting a lot of connections from peers who I was ahead of and this seemed to slow things down a lot (that was my guess anyway). Either that or my Ultrabook is not so Ultra! I upgraded the SSD in it too ... :/

For SSD this sounds way to much.  You were using computer for something else then syncing? Maybe syncing Bitcoin wallet also?

Oh, I know.  That's life for those of us who desperately try to cling to old software and operating systems past their prime, LOL

I'm used to it by now: there's never any promise stuff will continue to work. 

Yet I just always want to ASK for 'backward compatibility' anyway because if nobody asks then nobody ever thinks it's important.  But IMHO it is important, FWIW...

And YES thank you for everything you're doing for the GUI and everything... a beer or three on me too, some day indeed

+1 Thanks Jaquee (and all the other hard working devs   )

FWIW, I have not tried GUI beta yet, but I DL'd and installed the Daemon (Wolfram Warptangent) on W10 (don't hate me for that please  ) at the weekend. Worked faultlessly. Took about 10 hours to DL and sync blockchain on an Ultrabook with i5 Core, SSD and 4GB RAM. Blockchain is about 8GB. The longest part seemed to be the last few months of the blockchain. Seemed like there were more peers syncing from me and less peers with newer blocks available. I guess that is to be expected ??

Now that it's up to date, running as node takes up very little CPU overhead for those that are wondering, and is something I am very happy to do whenever it's switched on (>12 hours a day usually). It is not noticeable running in the background, no noticeable performance effect.

One thing to note was that my total usage was >100GB for the 'sync day', presumably as I was both syncing and others were syncing from me at same time. Not sthg I can do every day, so adjusted the limits in the daemon to levels I can cover (easily done). I guess that could be done on initial sync day, but might slow things down ??

The new wallet worked fine too once I figured out CLI (not hard). Really like the feature that you can choose the block to start refreshing from. On my not-so-great machine, it takes about 10 mins per 2 months of blocks when restoring using mnemonic seed. Did a few tx's on some new test wallets, all good, very easy.

Hoping this info might encourage more people who have not done so yet to attempt the process and fire up a node ... full GUI will be gr8, but what we already have is solid anyway  

Thanks again dev team, and apologies if this is not the right place for this post. Just wanted to share
