Will the monero gui support M1 macs?

* Will the new Monero GUI support M1 macs anytime soon ? selsta if not, I guess I won't be able to use any of my funds.

in the future yes, currently only when you compile yourself

you can use the intel version fine

selsta: how long in the future? i live off monero

i cant stay too long without being able to use my funds

you can access your funds

m1 macs can use intel programs

so it will still work but just lag a lot?

like whats the difference

it shouldn't be noticeably different

also how long in the future till we get the m1 version

no noticeable lag

Oh really?

so why were people complaining about it on reddit?

if theres no noticeable difference

who complained?

Are there any security risks using the intel version instead of m1 version?

no

I saw someone on reddit complain that the M1 version wasnt available

i thought that the intel version was unusable on m1

or had security risks/huge lag

I've downloaded intel software on my M1 mac and the lag was absolutely insane

so hopefully it will be good for the GUI

wallet scan will likely be 30% slower

Damn, alright

but the UI should not lag

i tested it myself, no lag

So how long until the M1 version comes out ?

kk

how long until the m1 version comes out tho ? selsta

I don't know yet, we have CLI for M1 native now

give me a rough estimate, are we talking a few weeks or a few months?

once I figure out how to do it

Qt didn't make the version open source yet the supports M1

so I have to find a different solution

<selsta> "Qt didn't make the version..." <- wait so theres currently a version of the monero gui that supports m1 but it's not open source ? lol

i thought you were the only one with luigi that worked on the monero gui

* gui that was made by someone elsethat supports m1

We use the Qt framework for the GUI

Ohhh ok

i have no idea what that is

the version of Qt that officially supports M1 Macs isn't open source yet, they delay source code releases by 1 year

No, I think what selsta was saying is the m1 variant of qt has not been open sourced

So gui is using an old version, that is open source, until the new version source code is released

you can compile the GUI yourself on M1 Macs, just release binaries are a problem

selsta: That makes a lot of sense, thanks for clarifying

selsta: for now ill stick to using the intel version. too much of a headache

"i live off monero" -- bad ass
