Hey emontmon, do you want to try out the nice new GUI with me? Feedback is critical now that Bitkoot has put something out. I'm pretty sure you were using windows, so please let me know?

I can help you with it if you need help setting it up?

I tested it. It seems to be working. It needs bitmonerod.exe and simplewallet.exe at the same folder as the GUI wallet or it crashes. If clause should be added to check if the executables are there and inform the user instead of crashing. I think an "Advanced" tab should be added where you can send your own commands to the wallet and the daemon, because in the current version you can't tell the daemon to start mining. There could be a checkbox in the "wallet log" and "miner log" to make the wallet and bitmonerod windows visible instead of adding "advanced" tab or if advanced tab is added those options should be there also (message in red for the user not to close them if they are visible).

Awesome, GUI and an exchange! 

I was able to compile Monero with Intel C++ Compiler for linux, but got no improvement for 2nd generation optimizations. I'm going to test compiling with different settings soon.

gui?

I don't know if (part of) the bounty is open for everyone, but I have created a .NET based wallet. I started trying to use the RPC API of the daemon and simplewallet, but there are some large gaps in functionality covered by the API functions.

That is why I have create a wrapper around bitmonerod.exe and simplewallet.exe (filenames configurable in config file). It works by launching the simplewallet and daemon in the background and reading output and writing output to those processes. It should be relativly save, because it uses the widly used standard simplewallet and daemon.

It's targeted at windows, although it might be possible to port to Mono.NET (I have no experience with that). It should work with any of the bytecoin forks, but I have tested it with Monero.
