Damn, that finished product looks insanely nice! Going from the original GUI format to that in 1 year is lightning speed fast; so going off of what I've read and can remember off of reddit, the end product will come around next year during summer time? Is there an app with this type of wallet interface being developed as well?

I'm so glad one of my buddies recommended me to xmr... just bought my first 100 xmr tonight and going to be pumping as much extra cash into this as I can easily afford. Hope this endeavor doesn't flop, I've read in a lot of places that it's pretty easy for alt coins to go to dust in a matter of seconds. I don't think this will happen with the support of the xmr community though Grin

Welcome to the party! One of the main things keeping this from going to dust is everyone wanting it to be awesome. So, find a way that you can make monero awesome. It may take a while to figure out what *it* is, but there's probably something your good at that could greatly benefit Monero.

Thanks! I'll definitely be checking this thread more often now, and investing more time into xmr.

I absolutely agree with this. Everyone can contribute in some way! Decentralized currencies require decentralized leadership in all different areas.

Idk about that, I don't have the slightest idea of what I could do to help Monero personally since I'm pretty much technologically handicapped when it comes to cryptography. Maybe I'll find my nitch somewhere in this area, but for now, I'll stick to earning cash with my regular job and switch all remaining funds I have left over besides bills and bar tabs Wink

But now that I think about it, it would be cool to come up with some sort of hobby that turns into a profit. I've been seeing all over this forum about people selling physical bitcoins, has there been a physical Monero coin yet? I like to build stuff in my spare time and wonder if making coins would be a good idea? Wouldn't have a clue of where to start, but it could be a nice side hobby of mine... If that doesn't work out, then I guess it would be a good way of having my own personal cold wallets to give me piece of mind about my monero funds.

However, regardless of what any of us say here you should do your own research and be skeptical of claims you read on the internet (or anywhere, but especially on the internet and especially on the internet related to cryptocurrencies).

Yeah, I'll definitely be researching a lot more... but I mean where else could you go when doing your research about cryptocurrencies, more specifically monero? A library? lol...

But from what my friend told me about the community and the few posts I've read on reddit (with the proper motivation given to me by americanpegassus) I've decided to put my small investment into xmr which won't hurt my bank account right now... and I mean who knows; I know if I had 100 BTC for the price of $0.40 right now, I'd be one happy SOB.
