We're all invested financially. That's why it gets a little tense sometimes.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=637704.msg7291668#msg7291668Have a look at that post. At the bottom, there's essentially a "catch-all." For all wallet issues, do those steps. I don't blame you for not reading all pages. By the time I had posted, wallet issues had come up so many times (and a bunch more times afterwards). So yes, perhaps there is an issue that you raised - a wallet shouldn't really get into this state. But...with all the other items going on, it's of lower priority.
I am an investor. I do not collect cryptcoins. I buy and sell them. I do not give a flying Yuck how cutesy or professional the logo may be. I do not care how much fud or hype there may be. All I care about are the basics and the prospect of making money. If there is any member here who thinks that is mercenary, then you really have no business even being on this forum.
As for basics, there is nothing more fundamental than the Wallet! It is the door to the castle. Not the logo, not the Op page, not any amount of of rah, rah, rah is going to overcome an investor's attitude about this coin more than if the wallet works properly. The Wallet IS the coin. So as far as priority, it should be working and NOT need explanations or work arounds to get it to function properly. It reflects badly on the coin when it will not even sync without the user having to get advice. And when the user does seek advice by coming to this forum, how is he or she treated...RUDELY!!!!
I intend to be a member of this forum for a good while to come. I will have to pay my dues by answering newbie questions for the 100th time. That what a forum family does when a newbie arrives. They invite them in, welcome them, and make them feel at home. Calling them lazy bums or other names... what good does that do?
The wallet is having more features added to it. So, when I say it's of lower priority, I don't mean that the logo is of higher importance. I mean, getting CloakSend (and CloakSend 2.0) integrated into the wallet first is far more important than fixing any sync issues that are easily resolved with a few troubleshooting steps. It's great you brought up a bug report. If I were a development team project manager, I would put it in the queue to be worked on - *after* all new features were completed. There's no sense in debugging and fixing an issue if you're just going to re-break it by adding new features that are necessary.
I don't know if you're the only one who didn't receive a pool payout. Perhaps you can post your address and hash rate and the amount of time you mined. I'm sure the pool operator and/or TheDagger will look into it. Did you check the block explorer? Was anything sent to your address at all? These are details that would be helpful to them.
