Thanks Wladimir! My long term vision for bitcoin-core was always a more user friendly UI without loosing the security and privacy features bitcoin-core offers . However, it has shown that this is relatively hard to achieve. Its unclear to me, what role wallets (and related UIs) will play in the future of bitcoin. I think it needs several years until something like bitcoin can be used to "pay for every coffee in the world" [1]. But I'm happy to explore this path! That was and is also the reason why I'm often focus on non-UI-related changes that keep bitcoin healthy and form a more defined role for the U I. Short words to myself: I'm a senior software developer, 35 years old, living in Switzerland (UTC+1). Thanks for the trust and I try to give my best to maintain and improve the GUI.
