As far as I know there are no bugs in the wallet it's just not completly self explaining. tbh from my view there are just the wrong people in the whole space... 95% of the people are here to get rich quick and not for the developement and it's excatly these people who have problems with Key reuses and so on.. the people have to do their research in such a young space..

If your software is expected to have bugs then you shouldn't allow people to put money in it. You should be setting the expectation that the chain will get regular resets while you work out the kinks. You should be discouraging exchanges at every opportunity and shouting loudly at the world not to put money in your alpha release software.

It doesn't appear that IOTA is doing any of those things.

You're saying that application and developers came completely unprepared for the market?

No, the market was unprepared for an application that is still in alpha.

Still in alpha but accepts real-money deposits in the tens of thousands. I think the market was unprepared for anyone being that brazen.

Who is accepting deposits, and why tens of thousands? Real money is deposited into exchange accounts to buy crypto assets. No one is making fiat deposits into an IOTA organization.

You should examine your reality if you think developers of alpha software have any obligation to provide non-technical folks with a way to use it. It's open source, nothing is stopping you from building your own wallet if you want something better. But they don't owe you anything on the basis of the protocol simply existing. Ask yourself, why do you expect that?
