Title: It's time to stop offering MAC Wallets for Alt Coins
Post by: glerant on March 09, 2014, 11:08:52 AM
Given Apple's rabid and oppressive stance towards Bitcoin - why do Alt developers persist in offering Mac wallet clients?

Proud not to include a Mac client.

Come on Devs - let's not support those who bully us!

If you do that, it's not Apple who suffers but those who own their products. They already own those overpriced products, don't make them suffer by putting them out of the game too.

You think Apple is wrong not to support Bitcoin on their products, therefore you proudly do the very same thing?

I think all other wallets besides mac wallets should get a small reward!

This way people will sell mac products and we can see apple fall!

hmmm probably because they don't like 'oppressive stances' towards software  ;)

Apple are a propriety software company. They stranglehold their platform, and it's to the detriment of its users. The people who suffer are the ones who keep buying Apple's products.

This is why I support the Android platform.

For the first time I was in doubt of buying an iPhone but Apple persuaded me not to do it.
