You did beat me into it, but then again you are simply capturing the deamon command window output.

I was diving into making a native wallet while chatting with othe all along. I had to find out the hard way that several parts of the cryptonote code that are included aren't usable in c++/clr wrapping. I managed to build it and use a simple c++ gui and call the deamon functions directly. To get this far i did spend 15 hours of researching, learning, error solving, etc...

Next i was learning Qt and managed to build some coin wallets for linux, windows and mac. I was trying to use an existing coin frontend and rewrite the middle code.

Now i feel sad about continueing, i don't want it to be a race.

Still you'r solution does not has my recommendations, thru i even considered it to do it that way. Then i would had had a wallet past week Wink

Please don't loose your enthusiasm over this. As others have pointed out it is not a race. On top of that it is best to have multiple wallets with different implementations. There should not be a single wallet/implementation (single point of failure).

I totaly agree with you that the current solution is not something you want to keep in the long run. I tried and would have prefered to use the RPC API, but it is not complete enough to build a usable wallet at this moment. As there are a lot of people asking for a GUI I started creating the wallet with the idea to get it functional quickly, with the option to make use of the RPC API later on when it is available.

I agree. Please keep on working towards your goal. This is deeply needed and you'll be rewarded for it. I've been reading some old threads about bitcoin and one of the fundamental criticism was the fact it wasnt userfriendly at all :

adress easy to use
beautiful and clean software (i suggest you inspire yourself from the theme of exchange.to : its clean and simple)
integrate every security step that the user has to make to secure his coins within the wallet (many people lost their BTC because of it)
a way to send messages

So much work need to be done, we need more people like you who thinks long term.
