Now that Monero's GUI is out, what will people complain about next?

How long it took to create the GUI (2 years?) will be an ongoing concern as it applies to future improvements to Monero.

I've got nothing against Monero but the lack of a GUI has always been a huge red flag. GUI for all platforms should have been first and foremost. One can make all the excuses they want but its a glaring fact and reflects badly on the skill level of Monero devs. Two years is disgraceful.

Their launch was botched but they had no intention in stalling the final public release.
They could have spent a long amount of time and effort pushing ANON tech for Bitcoin.
They could have been working on Code that would integrate with it.. we seen & heard of none ever.
Their coin name was already used (Bytecoin) so they pulled a Microsoft and just changed names
..and plowed on business as usual.

(Microsoft used "Metro")

Quote

Metro is the obsolete name of a typography- and geometry-focused design language created by Microsoft primarily for user interfaces. A key design principle is better focus on the content of applications, relying more on typography and less on graphics ("content before chrome").

All they had to do was Google it and see it was used by Metro AG a German company.
But their pompous bullshit and smug cocky attitude prevented them from doing so.. ring a bell ?

The name they chose later "monero" as an after thought was a poor choice for a professional and mature world wide digital currency.
The word Monero reminds me of the kids board game Monopoly Cheesy

Anyway what i am driving at is the various points that lead to a conclusion.
Points such as not having a cross platform GUI ready for launch (which used to be standard practice)
That in itself is historically an unfair advantage to the dev & friends and a big no-no in Crypto.
Apparently they felt they can side step the rules and just do what ever they want.

I also do not buy the insta-mine blog comment posted earlier.
That is too convenient.. a random guy comes forward to say hey i had them all and sold them long ago ?
What ever.. bullshit Roll Eyes

Let me remind you all Risto / rpietila not long after launch had admitted to buying over 882 BTC worth of Monero and i bet he bought a shitload more in the 2 years since too.
So there you have an early large holder right there people.
Seems they forgot about him when they were making excuses for that on the previous page here.
Weird considering it's his coin.. he controls it.
Who's paying FlupyPony and friends ?
He is.. i seen him admit it here before.
You all forget ?

Besides why would a millionaire STILL 2 years later be flogging the living shit out of Monero by taking donated money and spending it on powerful adoption assets such as his numerous forum games here ?
..if he had already dumped and was out of the coin.
CLEARLY he is still balls deep in Monero and a bag holder for life.
Back then i estimated he was into Monero in the early days for about a quarter million dollars worth of Monero.
Had he stayed with Bitcoin he would have doubled his money.
And i guarantee he had been buying more all this time too.
Who do you think is behind the Market Manipulation ?

He's trapped.

And what does a Millionaire Crypto guy do when he wants out ?
He dumps.. and god help you shills when your master bails on you.
Watch that price tank like a rock !
And will the shills admit this is a risk ? OF course not they "smooth" it over with Monero-Bullshit®
It is a risk and he is mentally unstable and in my opinion fucking nuts Shocked

So i will cycle back to my point again.. the points and the conclusion.
These guys had no intention of stopping.
They were going to make damn sure they had a new coin they can be "early adopters" on.
And then they can have it added as a new market on Poloniex.. so they can flog the shit out of it !
..whether it was ready for a final public launch / trading on exchanges or not.

They didn't care.. nothing was going to stop them.

They got here late and thought.. shit, i want a coin too !

I have been here watching them push this shit since it launched.
The bells went off when they thought....... A N O N
They saw dollars signs and thought ohhhh yeah we're doin' this !
Let's get this coin made and on poloniex NOW !
GUI ready ? Who gives a fuck we have coin'z to trade on Polo stat !
TestNet ? shoosh pipe down over there.. we don't have time for that nonsense.

And.. if anyone complains we will harras and intimidate them with our brigade of Legendary accounts.
Kind of funny which accounts here i have seen defending Monero.
Kluge who sent me death threats ? ..no he was not banned.
Theymos ? ......yup Roll Eyes

Monero guys are scene bullies.

Who have made a career out of crying FUD for bucks $$$
