I agree. The release of IOTA was delayed because supposedly the community demanded a better GUI. Then IOTA was modified to reuse addresses. It turned out that it's not really possible to reuse addresses and the GUI got delayed multiple times. Being added to Azure doesn't mean that much too, because every other altcoin got added and the whole process is easier than anyone thought. It's ridiculous how much IOTA got delayed, and the same is with Jinn. If IOTA will not get released until May i will just give up on this project and consider that this was a scam. 

"It's ridiculous how much IOTA got delayed" Have you done testing? It has been possible since January, something tells me you have not. GUI got delayed several times due to unprofessional third parties, yes, but optimization and testing of IOTA has been ongoing for months, so claiming it is a scam just exposes that you're a useless troll.

Also love how you conclude that it's "ridiculous" how much a brand new technology got delayed. Do you remember how much Ethereum got delayed? And they had an army of devs and 18 million dollars at their disposal.

Also why do you even mention Jinn? Jinn is a microprocessor project, even Intel with hundreds of billions spends over a year just iterating a new processor, we're making one from scratch on a shoestring budget, of course it'll take more than a year.

People need to learn to stop speaking without thinking.

In all fairness, I think he has been patient. I believe Iota knows that and that's why there is a defensive tone in the response posts. In the long run, I hope the delay in UI won't matter, but timing can be everything so who knows. Not everyone can test Iota based on what's available (I tried but I'm just not technical enough to do anything beyond run a node). Anyway, speculators, holders, buyers, sellers are all important to Iota, so I wouldn't dismiss them and label everyone critical as a "Troll". Once we have GUI, we can establish an open market for Iota and hopefully encourage more testing, 3rd party development, and general adoption.

Who will do the maintanance of the GUI after launch? This will be a continuous for future.

Have you thought to have a full time dev for UI, instead of contractors here and there.

Thank you! Is there anywhere we can see the progress of jinn hardware development or any info?

Wonderful~ Please keep up the good work~

Compare http://188.138.57.93/IRI-0.9.0.alpha-src.zip to the previous version and to the next one which will be released later and you'll see changes that justify "another week without nothing running on the mainnet".

And what is your contribution to the success of IOTA???
