I’m literally chocked, it’s hard for me to understand how this could be allowed to happen.
I was just looking at Cardanos official recommended wallet Daedalus.
Just such a thing as it’s size. A fresh install is 965 Megabytes in size. (Not including blockchain data!)
And the program is written in JavaScript of all languages!
The client itself don’t have any configurable settings at all, the users cannot even choose where to place the blockchain data or anything.
And that data (20 GB) is placed on the C:\ in hidden system folders(appdata).
Today in the era of small SSD’s it’s the worst drive to place a huge blockchain on for most users and the user cannot do anything about it if they want to use Cardanos official trusted client.
How many hundreds of thousands of prospecting users and developers have tried this software as their first taste of Cardano? The most important first experience…
This unprofessional client have without doubt caused irreversible damage over several years.
I can’t understand what Cardanos leadership are thinking promoting this wallet as their official wallet.
I have never seen a worse official wallet since I started in 2012.
How is this software going to compete with anything on the bleeding edge of technology?
This client does not come off as a professional and serious system that you build a global decentralized network under.
JavaScript… It should have been stopped preemptively right there.
Daedalus is a disaster for Cardanos reputation.
I thought Cardano sounded like a good project but I lost faith after encountering this monstrosity.
