What was the "hell of a lot" of time you spent on Monero, if not development?
As soon as you start paying me a salary (which I'd probably refuse anyway, because I don't need the money nor the headache) you can start having a say about how I spend my time, not before.
Get help.
BTW, there are more than 9 commits. There is a bug in the github search function, and you not having a clue how to access the actual records doesn't help. I went over that with another troll once, I'm not going to do it again.
OK, Monero didn't do a release since 9 month, because from December you decide to change so user "download" repository from Github instead you don't need binaries. Was this change an official announcement?
How come you don't say that on the Official Wallet download page? It still have the version fom December 2014? https://getmonero.org/downloads/
I think you need to update your OP, because it still says to download the old version 0.8.8.6, not to "download" the github repository https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0
And, the Github information showing you work more on AEON is wrong, because of a bug, OK I understand
Do you need some help with Development? Maybe we can ask on the forum and see if there are people who can help you with the Cryptonote code?
