Jaquee - Just a quick note to thank you for all the work you've done on the GUI. If you're ever around Boston I'll buy you a beer or three.

Same here, Jaquee your contribution to the XMR project has been great, thank you for that and we all look forward to your work in 2017.

Good to hear! =)
The short Payment ID has been around for a while, but the older is still supported. Unfortunately polo don't support the short one yet. But you could still use the integrated address generated by the GUI if you need to assign the transaction from polo to a payment ID in your wallet. More info: https://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/moneropedia/paymentid

Note: Apple has ended their support for os x 10.9. Even though my build works for you I can't promise you that the official build will.

I decided not to dip into my cold storage just to mess around testing this, LOL...

So, just quickly bought five bucks worth on Polo and I'm now sending to this new address as TEST.

First "glitch" :: the Payment ID generated by the GUI wallet was not accepted by Poloniex SEND page... said "invalid" for some reason.

It's very short: 74f2ee14a7cb8dc8 in this case. Not what I'm used to seeing, is this something new Polo needs to update for, or something is wrong?

Anyway, sending with no ID worked... transaction is still 'pending' on Polo and has not hit the GUI wallet yet so I'll update here after it comes thru.

{Edit} Update: That was quick!! It just went out from Polo and already popped up on the GUI screen!

Checking same address/seed in MyMonero shows NOTHING yet (as usual, I've noticed in the past that MM tends to take quite a long time to show correct balance and transaction info...)

SO... so far so good. Amount I sent is not "unlocked" yet but I expect that's just a few confirmations? Will check it after dinner and then try SENDING

Edit: Clarification about Payment ID.

The more convenient alternative is to go to the settings page and change localhost to node.supportxmr.com. Note that using a remote node is detrimental to privacy, but for testing purposes it's all right.

OK, did that. It ran the "synchronizing blocks" for about three minutes and now is "Connected"

So, should be all good to test send/receive some XMR? I'll try it later tonight and report back...

P.S. {Edit}

the daemon is not released yet. the only way to run it is to build it yourself.
you find the build instructions for mac in the github page

I'll assume that for the final release of the GUI package that the daemon will be included and set up to run seamlessly for the user...? Expecting noobs to know enough to set it up for themselves -- never mind BUILD it first? LOL -- ain't gonna fly, out here in the real world :-P

Yes, you should be able to send and receive XMR.

For the beta a daemon (monerod) will be distributed along the GUI (monero-core). The user would have to open the daemon though to get it started and fully synced. For the non-beta release there will be daemon integration, which allows you to control the daemon via the GUI.

P.P.S. {Edit #2} One thing I did just now however, *before* trying to send/receive with the GUI wallet, is I just *imported* the seed words from GUI wallet setup to MyMonero so that it's also "registered" to use in the future without doing transaction import (sorry Fluffy, LOL). And FWIW it worked perfectly, MyMonero shows same address as GUI... all good to go

P.P.S. What does "Network Status - Disconnected" down in the lower left mean? I'm not actually able to send/receive until the whole XMR Blockchain is downloaded maybe? Just guessing here but if so that needs to be made more clear to the user I think...

It needs to connect to a node, either locally running or remote node I believe.

Okay... so... total doofus here then I guess LOL... how do I do that?

Bear in mind I've never yet run anything related to XMR on this Mac (except log in to Polo and/or MyMonero) so this is maybe a good test case of how the fancy new GUI download is gonna be perceived by Mr. Average Joe Public

Somebody walk me thru what needs to be done here...

Heh, okay folks... just dove in to try this (insert Hunter S. Thompson voice quote here, "Yeah... Why Not?") Cheesy

That download is a nice simple zipped file with a single *.app inside... I unzipped it and moved to my own custom "Programs" folder on OS X (I don't always keep stuff in the main designated Apple "Applications" or "Utilities" folder). Double click to run and "authorize" to OS X that it's from the Internet (yeah yeah okay I know it's a risk...)

So far running fine, started up clean and seems A-OK... so far... knock on wood...

I have not actually tried any transaction yet however... will do that ASAP (don't have any free XMR at the moment, all my long term Moneroj are in cold storage)

Here's a screen shot for the curious:

P.S. Anyone impatient with me testing an actual transaction wanna send me ten cents worth or something, here's the address of screenshot above in text format : 46Gj6yyxcDCHEPCuqma5wKLWKKjZAyfqGCtTj79TLNqW2hhGZ8FmHHpEMwpNYGFRbyB82PLVgWRzEak ZggXirGv72EYLF1u

What's the minimum OS X version required for this?

I'm still on 10.9.5 on my MacBook just 'cuz I seriously hate the latest UI design changes that Apple's implemented. Sticking to Mavericks here as long as I can hold out LOL

Hopefully still gonna be able to run Monero GUI even on older systems??

Should work fine on older systems too.

Great to hear dEBRUYNE... thanks. Lookin' forward to it Cheesy

I believe at least part of the XMR rise is due to the short term disappointment in ZCash.

A lot of "investors" likely dumped XMR to buy into ZCash. Now that the hype is over and ZCash seems to be underperforming, the money is flowing back to XMR.

Makes sense - XMR is a much better investment than ZCash in my opinion - I'm glad the dump happened as the previous pump took me by surprise and I sold out too early. since the drop I managed to accumulate much more than I sold.
