[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[Jojatekok]

Are there any preliminary agenda regarding monero.cc improvements? Or is it a special intention to keep it looking like abandoned home page as long as possible?  

Surely it's a minor task but some people still consider web site as a face of the project.

Both its appearance and presentation of the information could be much better organized and it's neither difficult and time consuming nor expensive. Even a simple ready site template, for example from http://themeforest.net/ can help to advance the current level in order of magnitude.

There's still a ton of work to be done till this is remotely feasible. Can you imagine if we had the world's most beautiful cross-platform wallet website right now, but to use it you the software needs several gigabytes of available memory, and it'll max out your 20mbps line?

I'm just glad this has not been dumped to hell after the MP listing

We are working on a replacement site. Throwing a $20 template up is not a solution, as the visual aspect of the site is much less of a concern than getting the content right. There are so many things on the current site (from an information perspective) that is either downright outdated or needs serious reworking.

Thank you. That's very good that everything is under control!

Almost two months ago the devs turned away people volunteering to help on the web design, saying that they were working on it, and had a new site design that would be ready "very soon".

Yes curious isn't it?  They have stated that a new website was just about ready more than once.  If they don't care about a website then they should just say so.  It doesn't make much sense.  It's not rocket science.  My twelve year old niece could put up a better website in a couple of hours.  But in the end it's really about the coin.  And this coin is starting to lose it's appeal.  At least for me.  Especially with the blatant manipulation by a few large holders.

I was thining about trying the QT wallet listed on the OP (Qt GUI (Cross-platform) by Neozaru). But when I follow the link, all I get his the repo on Github. I have searched around there a bit, trying to find a Windows binary, but haven't been able to find anything but the source.

Am I over-looking something? Is there somewhere else I should look? Or am I forced to build this from source myself.

Has Neozaru continued to work on the GUI wallet after the bounty was paid? I would think Neozaru (or someone) would have posted a working Windows build by now.

I'm probably just not looking in the right place, but a Google search didn't turn up anything useful. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Does anyone know of a place where bounties are kept up with? If not i will start a thread.

Really? Your twelve year old niece could prepare guides for every platform on how to install and use Monero, replete with screenshots, in the midst of moving goalposts? Your twelve year old niece could prepare technical reference material for developers that want to use Monero in backend systems? Your twelve year old niece sounds incredible - please put her in touch with us and we will pay her for the couple of hours she has to spend putting this together.

This week's hasn't been released yet - we're busy working on it at the moment:)

We've rejected the notion of bounties for two reasons:

1. The amount contributed is rarely - if ever - close to a level of compensation a REALLY competent developer (or even a development team) expects. Very occasionally this is mitigated by someone who is willing to take a huge hit based on the potential future value of the bounty.

2. More often than not, it becomes a race to the bottom. A competent developer will spend a lot of time discussing, architecting, scoping, and planning before writing a single line of code. A bounty encourages a writing-code-so-that-it-kinda-works style of development. In the end, we are left with poorly thought out code that we have to maintain.

Thank you for very fast answer Given this, don't hurry, just focus upon quality.

They don't. Please let us know when you start it.

I am prepared to be blow away by the website once it is released. just take your time devs, no hurry, but when it is online, i expect quite a lot. i have already commented about the need to create a website rich with information about various things, drawing people to visit the site again and again because of so much eloquently written information regarding not only monero, but the whole CN technology, the next step in internet anonymity, etc.
People should come there and sell all bitcoins and fall over themselves to be the first ones in line to buy this monero, the best thing since sliced bread.

And this coin is starting to lose it's appeal.  At least for me.  Especially with the blatant manipulation by a few large holders.      

The only "blatant manipulation" I am able to see, is some large and small holders buying low, selling high, and making swing trading very difficult for those who usually participate in various pumps and dumps. If this is your accusation, I am proud to be part of it - if it is something else, shoot!

During its history, Monero has had perhaps the narrowest range in which trades have happened: 82% of all trades have happened between 0.002 and 0.006! Again, if it is unappealing that the coin has solid value, I am sorry we'll continue to disagree.

I have a 32 Bit wallet , which I cannot now access (on a 32 bit windows OS)

Will I need to instal 0.8.8  on a 64 bit OS, and import keys, or is there a way of running (or just backing up) the 32 bit walllet ?

 I am unable to view my coins balance : is there a way of viewing coin balance/addresses using the key files from the old wallet (without running it) ?

I bought some coins@ 0.009 and now after few weeks i've decided to look at the market price it's around 0.004....WTF?
