RE: How to Setup a Monero Wallet to Send and Receive Funds Anonymously - Windows Guide
hmm, now I'm wondering why they didn't fork an existing Qt based wallet.. but command line interface is fun nonetheless
I'm guessing that wasn't compatible with their goal of it being anonymous?
right, makes sense, but I was referring to the wallet client and not the protocol or network.. they could just use the Qt frontend code to provide an easy GUI but modify everything else heavily to fit their logic that makes monero monero
Because it's not a fork. Monero isn't "based" on anything. It's independent from Bitcoin in every way, and has no real similarities. Thus a QT wallet would mean a completely new one.
I meant to say just taking the Qt frontend code from an existing wallet client, so that there will be a nice GUI, but if there is no clear MVC division, I guess just writing a GUI from scratch would be quicker than adopting code from another crypto project.
