Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation

As I understand it, the GUI is a wrapper that passes calls to the daemon ergo if you use the cli to make those calls then you should not hurt anything. I am guessing as I did none of the programming. The only pitfall I can forsee is that the gui would not refresh from those cli calls and display previous data but that is a rookie move and I can't imagine this team putting out something that lame.

As usual feel free to correct me guys, I'm just making educated guesses from experience on other projects.

No, the GUI is not a wrapper. It is a full wallet, just like the CLI.

The CLI sends commands to the Daemon correct? That makes it a wrapper correct?

No. I did some of the programming, and you are wrong. Next time don't ask "feel free to correct me" if you're just going to ignore it.

I'm actually not arguing here, AFAIK the cli is a client that sends input to the daemon which does the necessary adjustments to the data set. So your saying that it does not?

I believe he is saying it is not a wrapper. There is a difference. A wrapper would be a GUI front end for the CLI executable. In this case the CLI and GUI wallets are equivalent. They both use the daemon, but neither is a wrapper. As far as I know the default QT bitcoin client at least used to work this way as well.
