We can update all these minor things in 1 day. As I see it by now, there has never been a Mac wallet, nor a linux wallet from the SuperDev....
But we have it ready ( I am using the mac wallet ).
For updating the logo...where is the Logo, who has the original files?...All the changes you propose and the steps to go can be done in 1 day.
Now...we will keep the source from Supercoin open source, however if we are going to add in wallet trading, multiple coin support and other exclusive developments to Supercoin, then those developments WILL stay closed source.
No coin has benefits if ALL the source code is open source. Closed source will give value to a coin as it will be unique. So I think we will do the following, we will make 2 wallets for every operating system. 1 with special futures and 1 without them.
The open source wallets (without special futures) will be for the persons that have doubts in us (Griffith and Me), the source code from these wallets will be available on the Github for copy cats and scam developers, because a normal user (that needs an installer) can not read that code AND is not interested in that code.
The Supercoin wallets with exclusive developments (in wallet trading, multi-coin support, etc...) will only be available pre-compiled. The Source code from these wallets will be on a closed section from the Github.
If you want to know how the development of in wallet trading is going then you should have a look on the MWC forum
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=752808.msg9544646#msg9544646 there you can see that the development is in the final stages and that the forum members are given the opertunity to choose which exchanges they want to be added.
Hello mtdspain,
Thank you for your response. Your answers inspire a little more confidence.
I understand your main focus is on your in-wallet exchange project, it does sound cool. This project is in need of normal users first though, and an easily-installed opensource wallet is the first step. It is great to hear you can create the win\linux\mac wallets, (and that you have a mac one working). That experience is exactly what is needed. A day to fix anything in 3 different operating systems it is something I have heard a few too many times though...
I like your idea to have 1 open source and 1 closed source wallet. That reduces the confusion and security risk, and allows some progress to be made. Lets focus on the open source wallets first.
This leaves the questions about beta testing and secure release process that I asked before:
Will you answer the beta test question? How long would you test? Will you include the community and wait for responses before releasing?
(One bad release build can end this project. I just want to make sure untested code doesn't get dumped on users without testing...)
Will you put your name on any pre-compiled builds, and provide a hash, so we can assure users/customers/friends the download is not compromised?
This seems like a promising arrangement, thanks again for your answers.
