i was also thinking myself on a c++ cli wallet front end with qt. The initial idea i have is to interact with an rpc exposed cli_wallet backend, very basic. we can talk more about this.
Can't comment on the rest, but this is something I though of too. IMHO, bitshares-core is too heavy even if you only compile cli_wallet. Granted, most people will only use pre-compiled binaries, but the compile process is a PITA (with boost and everything). However, I still think this is a very viable idea, and one of the reasons citadel is not called "bitshares-qt" is that name should be reserved for what you are proposing.
I think going with python has some advantages and disadvantages, such as:
1) very quick dev. turnaround
2) can utilize python-bitshares library by xeroc (next best thing to bitshares-core)
3) targets same platforms as C++ QT
huge dissapointment when it comes to that Stealth tab where you can create account but cannot top the funds for months now... I was so happy to see that part coming to life.
Thank you for the report. I'll investigate ASAP. There's a thread on this forum and a bug tracker on github, you should've reported this earlier
(Also, tickets created by committee members and witness accounts are served with highest priority).
Anyway, great job with Citadel, and if you wanna really get some Monero mining customers, you do need to invest some real monero from that mining into the markets on the dex, or its not going.
You are 100% right and we're working in bringing liquidity to our markets. This is something to be announced very soon.
Or at least provide withdrawals for monero after successful mining.
We do that, you can always withdraw your mined tokens as real XMR via our gateway.
