While very true for Bitcoin, this article is even more relevant for Monero. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoins-market-cap-not-think/

GUI progress ?

Soon as always.

In my opinion, at some point we need a sub thread on how long is the patience of a Monero bagholder for the empty word "soon".
I think you are exactly the very right person to start that thread and discussion with the trolls.

I'm not following his math to get to $697, but I disagree with his view on mining = stock split.  A stock split does not affect market cap, but does affect individual share price.  Instead, mining is simply akin to a continuous offering, which will affect market cap, and also possibly share price, depending on whether the offering is dilutive or accretive.

The simpler comparison to account for the continuous issuance is to look at both price per coin / share, as well as total market cap, as shown many places, including coinmarketcap.com.

As for the lost coin, its anyone's guess.  But unless you assume there is increasing rate of lost coin over time, it shouldn't affect the comparability of periods.  In fact, I would argue lost coins have decreased over time, as people are more careful with bitcoin in the hundreds than when it was in the pennies and dollars.

go away please. I am sure I am not the only one tiring of your thinly veiled trolling / shilling.

when it goes up Monero is the best thing since sliced bread for you (1 k, 10 k, 100 k etc etc yawn), when it's weaker you keep stepping on its head to fill your bags.

It's understandable but fucking annoying.

GUI progress ?

The GUI progress is out in the open for anyone to keep tabs on here. The dev is making regular progress.

Get lost please... your logic is so flawed and for everyone clear to see... if "soon" is an empty word for you why should you stay a bagholder, you are free to leave... the Dev Team does not owe us a thing, so if you don´t agree with their way of doing things... either sell your bag, fork it away and do better or just be silent.

would be cool to have him here, i can't judge if this is more like 5% or 90%. not that i would have a problem with 5. But seeng work done  you can't judge in terms of progress is more annoying than seeing nothing actually

Good day for monero after a while.

Monero needs your help!

Please select one (or several) community tasks from this list and get to work!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1473476.msg14859119#msg14859119

Speculation is more fun when your contributions directly influence the success of Monero!

[Dotto]

For the mood of the thread we have to be close to the bottom. Don´t give your moneros at discount.

The bounty is waiting and will be for the patient.

The project can be cloned from here: https://github.com/mbg033/monero-core
(although the wallet library that communicates with the GUI is on his fork of the main bitmonero repository and I assume it will need to be compiled from there as well)

I'm not familiar with Qt enough to tell you how to compile it (if you even want to do that), but that's one way to find out.

I will try to compile it myself tomorrow and see how much is done, I'm running into some stupid Xcode problems.

The original estimate of the timeline placed the end of development around September, so I would assume it could be ready then. Personally I'm not into unnecessary updates on the progress, just let the dev work.

Funny to see how you freak out. 
Soon indeed is an empty word and doesn't mean anything. It is not a deadline but a vague expression of something probably going to happen in the future.

You are right in stating I will be buying when the price is lower than the current but on the other hand, I do not have any urgency to buy more since I hold Moneros and bitcoins.  If Monero moons I will be rich and you cannot prevent it but if it tanks I will be  buyer and you can not prevent it either.

Instructions from Arux here:

Is Monero core in a compileable state yet? Can one build it and test it out?

compilable but not usable.

if your system is compiling fine bitmonerod, monero-core should be compiling too.

1) grab and prepare the source:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/mbg033/monero-core.git
cd monero-core
./get_libwallet_api.sh 

2) compile the qt part:

Code:

sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel
qmake
make

3) launch

Code:

release/monero-core

It used to be usable a few weeks ago (someone else compiled it on IRC), but I think this "issue" broke it for now:
