When will there be an official gui wallet for windows?

never.....

Why do you say so?

6 months from the creation of the coin, no purse, weekly updates are delayed, if the work carried out on it, show us!

I think dev wants to release a good wallet.

I use simple wallet is nice and simple. perfect for me. If you want fancy one with unicorns dancing on top, there is Jojotek valet. It is link to it in OP.

About Missives, writing them weekly is a bit wast of time, not much happen in one week anyway. And rare weeks was weekly. have them every second week would be more then enough.

+1. Better no weekly missive than weekly disappointment because of no missive. Hypothetically speaking.

Hi all,

I got myself a bit of monero at these bargain prices, however I have to keep it on an exchange because I cannot get a Linux wallet to work at all. I have tried many things. I am using Ubuntu version 12.04 32 bit.

I would appreciate it if some of the experienced linux heads could help me out here. Don't wanna keep XMR on the exchange the whole time

Thanks

Anyway you can try to use 64bit version of linux? Right now 32bit isn't recommended until the embedded db is released. If you can try to run it on 64bit linux you shouldn't have any issues. Just make sure you have swap space setup if you have less than 6-8gb of memory. Once the db is released we won't have to worry about needing a large amount of memory.

I rather keep waiting for a solid GUI+DB than half measures that will only fool on short-term, I believe monero coin to be a long-term real winner crypto.

Guys, there is an enormous amount of work that is being done and recorded in github. Take a look at the commits on the trunk and the various branches and also the forks.

I understand it is a bit frustrating waiting for the work to make its way to the official releases, but it is being done that way for a reason. We don't want to release half-baked stuff that isn't really ready just to say we released something.

On occasion we will point out specific pre-releases that are useful for testing, as we did in the recent missives that mentioned the in-progress database code (now even farther along and working well for some testers). However, the process is open and anyone is free to test and contribute to any of the forks/branches at any time.

In one of the fireside chats fluffypony showed a sneak peak of the GUI, and it looked pretty impressive imo.

After that there was a preview build that you could download and try yourself. Another one is expected soon.

I think you must use a 64 bit OS.

Correct. 32 bit is not supported.

With 64 bit and correct use of swap you can make do with a relatively small amount of physical RAM. Anything from 2 GB and up is usable (more is better).

It means one of your peers is stuck, see below:

MONERO DEV
what's this

I'm excited and worried

You're connected to a peer who is still on the block 202612 attack fork. I'm surprised to see that fork still exists at all. I suppose some people just don't update their clients at all. Nonetheless, there is no harm to you and you can safely ignore it.

I had the same thing. Glad to hear it does not matter.

If possible, a statement from the MONERO developers

Thanks 

xulescu's reply was correct.

I'm also surprised there are still so many stuck nodes. Safe to ignore.

[pa]

ok, thanks!

veh vant zeh missives! Achtung!

 

Hah - you and me both!

Internet has been a bit spotty whilst I've been travelling, but we are busy finalising the Missive and will push it out as soon as the new Monero builds are done with testing, so within the next 12 hours at the most;)
