Will we ever see an official GUI wallet for Monero? How do you expect non-tech savvy people to use this coin without an easy wallet? Is it really too hard to make a wallet for 1.5 years?

Soon. How do you expect non tech-savy people to use a coin that has flawed software inherited from its primary implementation (bytecoin)? Is it really hard to move the blockchain to a database format without causing undesired hardforks? Is it really hard to otherwise maintain and improve upon software that was purposely stripped of any inline documentation by the original developers, even though its COMPLETELY NOVEL CRYPTOCURRENCY SOFTWARE? Yes, the core developers could have focused their efforts on a GUI, and then the database implementation would be another year off instead of a matter of weeks or months. And then the increased usage due to whatever widespread adoption that is guaranteed to occur with a GUI would have made the blockchain huge so that only people with 12 gigs of ram could run it. So then the network would be maintained by like 5 people instead of the hundred or so it is now. The developers made non crowd pleasing hard decisions, but they were the right ones.

It has nothing to do with it being hard or not. If you don't know why, you're probably new to Monero. I suggest you at least read a bit before complaining about other's voluntary work.

Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's. This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".

Nah. We're going retro. 1990's style. If you are really interested in knowing what's up, change your tone.

The author claims that Fincen has discovered that Cryptsy is involved in “terrorism funding”. So what? More americans are killed by small firearms, fired from other americans, even kids. The stats are like So please, be thankfull for any buck that wanders into “terrorism funding” somewhere elsewhere around the world, than into spare rounds at the homefront

I agree with the other posters. The engine is more important than the body. This is not to say that the body (GUI wallet) is not important. It's been said that it's coming, although technically there are GUIs now. The one that seems most easy to use is: https://mymonero.com/#/ Since it's web-based, it can be used virtually anywhere and only you know your private keys.

To summarize the comments, there seems to be broad agreement on a change to 2 minutes. A few people suggested higher, which is in line with the range of opinions in previous developer discussions, but given that no one has a really strong case to made for the "right" block time I think it is fair to say we will almost certainly go with 2 minutes in the upcoming hard fork.

It is great if someone can explain why "only you know your private keys." is true and how mymonero.com can check balance and send transactions on behalf of user without exposing his private key to mymonero.com owner. I think that it would be a FAQ.

I think that it would be a FAQ. The spend key (and therefore one-time private key for each output on the chain) are derived by Javascript in the browser when you type in your login key. It is not sent to the server. Any transactions you send are likewise created and signed in the browser before being sent to the server. What is sent to the server is your view key which the server uses to identify your incoming transactions. That key alone does not allow spending.

What is sent to the server is your view key which the server uses to identify your incoming transactions. That key alone does not allow spending. "It is not sent to the server" For the sake of the Monero community I think I have to point out here that this is actually a lie that is told repeatedly by Fluffypony & Smooth and other core members. As I showed back in June, and Smooth is fully aware of, MyMonero.com had code specifically inserted to send private keys to the server, and was doing so successfully (and as far as I know, still is) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1077775.msg11529538#msg11529538Fluffypony provided an explanation that it was used for 'testing' on that thread, but as far as I know, the Monero community was never told about it officially, apart from my post in the alt section. So if you have used MyMonero, it's likely your private keys *have* been sent to the server, and also stored in clear text on your own HD in a cookie. I never saw an announcement that this as fixed, or that the vulnerability exists - if it's fixed and you still want to use MyMonero, the safe thing to do is move your funds from any old addresses to new addresses, as the old ones are potentially compromised.
