Why are all the Monero guys in here talking about DASH? This thread is about the questionable XMR launch. Let's stay on topic.

So the fastmine/high initial emission of XMR, combined with the refusal to create an official GUI wallet for easy public use does seem very scammy.

Also, the Monero devs claim they didn't know about the scam miner they were pushing off on the public. If that is true, what other parts of their copy/paste coin do they not understand?

It's one thing for novices to copy (well known) bitcoin, but copying something like bytecoin that is brand new, a scam, and includes fraudulent code is pretty irresponsible.

Smooth or one of the other Devs can talk about what happened at the launch, but the lack of GUI is one of the least scammy things ever.
The Monero Devs are wise to build the coin, then the wallet, and then market it.

Once upon a time, years ago, the monero core devs understood the importance of a official GUI.....

GUI wallet or pool would be the first priority I would say,

When we jump from that date to present date, there is one simple fact that remains : there is still no official GUI wallet
Information from Monero itself indicates and support that :

http://monero.org/faq-items/where-is-the-monero-xmr-gui-wallet/

Sure there are several unofficial versions but those are not supported, maintained or even further developed by Monero itself and therefore Monero can not
and will not be held responsible if anything happens to these wallets. Something that smooth "forgot" to mention when he mentioned the onofficial GUI wallets.

So whats left for the Monero community to safely use is a cli wallet, coupled with no official Monero policy to warn people not to use the webwallet to stall large amounts on
and not use exchanges to stall coins longterm on (exception being daytraders that need their coins on exchanges to trade with them of course).
