A Mac OS X (10.9) GUI Wallet and Miner (for mropool.org) can be downloaded from mropool.org (direct link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cnywy3xsncfgcfq/Monero%20Wallet-0.2.zip).

It looks very nice, great job! Does it work on Linux and Windows?

it was never cheap, the market cap on poloniex started at 800k, so about 0.00180. the IPO were getting it for 0.001 as far as i know. there may have been earlier buyers but as far as i know it was never dirt cheap and available to everybody. this coin is the only unique coin right now, easy 50m market cap.

EDIT: my bad there was no IPO, i meant exchange thread.

what the hell are you talking about? There was no IPO. Trades started really cheaper than 0.001...

There was no ipo ; and for price references, there is an otc trade here on bitcointalk. Also i recommend that you guys buy as soon as you can otherwise you are going to have to use arguments such as "but there was no gui, monero was premined because the devs made it too hard to use" as an excuse to your own stupidity.

Dont be Rakim.



Also, to everyone who thinks BCN is still relevant, check the market prices. If you think it's still technologically relevant, check this marvelous post from Tacotime:

So far we [the monero devs]

- Fixed the blockreward code that TFT broke
- Added lots of new RPC calls
- Are fixing the weird fixed tx fee system
- Fixed some of the other RPC calls
- Optimized the slowhash code performance about 20 fold (which ByteCoin ganked after from QCN and barely credited us for)
- Are implementing electrum deterministic wallets (code is already done)
- Are implementing a database
- Are fixing some of the network code
- Have almost completely coded an integrated QT wallet (Neozaru) that makes use of our new RPC calls
- Added the first open source pool infrastructure with the help of zone117x (who continually works to improve the pool)

That GUI wallet for MAC look pretty neat but i wouldn't use a closed source client from a new member.

Sorry, it is only for Mac OS X 10.9 (and hopefully OS X 10.10, but I didn't test that yet).

You didn't answer to the previous question: why not releasing sources?

[TheKoziTwo]

Some people got a good price in the OTC topic (you can see the trades here). Also if you would like to see the trade history on the worlds first cryptonote exchange the full history is available here.

I think I saw that this was finished and pushed already .. but can anyone please give a good rundown of what this is/does? Sounds pretty cool!

It gives you a bunch of words that you can use to recreate your wallet from a paper backup or even memorized.

Well in that case it is pretty cool. Definitely looking forward to trying that out, from a paper backup. That would be pretty awesome.

Obviously because they want to extract a 0.2% wallet fee and can't do that if people can just recompile with the fee removed.

Another reason may be that the source is not clean enough to be usefully (or non-embarrassingly) released.

I do not intend either comment above to be judgmental BTW, just explanations.

There will be open source GUI wallets soon enough.

[uvt9]

just a question, can monero be mined in windows 32bit now ? i remembered that it was 64bit only at first.

There will be open source GUI wallets soon enough.

sounds good, can we get it within 1 month. Monero really need this for wider adoption. I've followed Bounty thread for GUI wallet but it seems there are plenty of tasks need to be done before one can be released officially.

Congrats on your buy!
did you get any other good buys or hold all of it?

Looking pretty good now. I think a fair price right now is .005-.0075

Ok, I can't seem to get this damn thing to sync up.

I first couldn't connect to any peers, then I found the seednodes so started it with those and now I'm getting this;

That doesn't look like it is syncing to me, so whats the problem?

I'm using windows.

After some discussion with David, we thought about offering a kind of voting pool . This is made for people who want to get Monero to Mintpal, but fear, they can't use their BTC then to buy Monero. You would get a small refund (maybe at a price of 0.001BTC ) for your effort. This is intended to help smaller investors, who want XMR on Mintpal without having too much opportunity costs. This offer would last until 500XMR are left in the giveaway wallet.

We won't offer this to bigger traders or investors (like rpietila or pttx2).
Why should you trust me? I am a member and Community Manager of XMR. I also wrote the installation script for Debian-based distributions and was author at the website, before It got migrated to static html.

So what are your thoughts about it?


PS: Here is my personal opinion -- please build your own: I would like to have a long-term natural growing coin, which has community, that believes in a "brighter future". Not a quick pump and dump or trader's coin, though for that we need a reliable exchange and one of them is Mintpal. After a lot of people mentioned their concerns about "wasting" the BTC and not having a good buy opportunity, this may help, but it could also make this coin to a pump and dump coin
