@owlcatz. Yes the gui sounds good but what Monero needs is a good light wallet and a web wallet that is provided by a third party. If third party developers from bitcoin will crossover to Monero then that would be a sign that the XMR blockchain will be a fomidable one beating all the others for the title of potential replacement for bitcoin. We all thought it was litecoin.

There already is a great web wallet - https://mymonero.com/#/

The thing about this coin is it's privacy features. It's not a BTC clone, the code is completely different. It's not out to "beat" BTC, it's just a new coin altogether, it's about true fungibility, and optional privacy. You don't walk around with your wallet open to see how much $ you have in it do you? Same with Monero.

Yes that web wallet is good enough but you do not get my point. It is important the 3rd party developers and companies must create 3rd party software for Monero. When more and more 3rd party software and services are being created, we could see that there is interest from outside the Monero development team to create a whole new ecosystem. Bitcoin started this way. After the darknet market acceptance the 3rd party developers are needed to walk on the road of success.

Yes, I agree 100%. What you are missing is this not ready yet for that. The DNM's chose to adopt this coin before it was fully official - which is fine, but yes, you are not going to see services and stuff popping up all over like with monero overnight... This is not bitcoin, it's not a "New thing" like bitcoin was. It will take even more time to gain more traction, adoption, and awareness as to unfungibility of bitcoin and it's clones.

I am sorry the operators of the DNM's chose to adopt the coin before an official GUI was out, or even official non-beta daemon binaries, but I'm only saying the truth here - this project has been ridiculed, pissed on, trolled, and everything in between, so give a bit of credit where it's due. Monero is a long term coin. Always has been. That's why all these newbies buying them the past few days just panic sold them all today during the dumps... Give it a few more days, and more weak hands will be shaken out. No different than bitcoin crashing to 2 dollars from 30 after the silk road started, right? Tongue

thanks for the dialogue. I hope you really are a bbc reporter. lol.
