Glad to hear about all of the fund shifting going around and the new "old" GUI.

This morning I was thinking about all of this and I was about ready to speak up and say that we need to completely stop focusing on getting a UI.  Yes, it makes sense in the early days for testing but Iota is for IoT.  Any IoT device that will need some form of UI will need to implement it itself.  If it uses Iota, it will have to have it's own variation of a transaction interface, specific to the device.

The IRI is just to get the ball rolling and we must keep that perspective.  Iota is way to ambitious to be put in the standard cryptocurrency box of just a coin with some form of wallet UI.  It's not a cryptocurrency.  It's a token-based transaction system for the IoT and with 0-fee messaging, it could become the communications protocol for millions of devices.
