Parity, the ethereum software client, has announced some major changes, including the stripping away of its graphical user interface (GUI).
In effect, the changes mean that Parity’s “wallet” – that is, its repository of private keys – does not now exist for general, non-technical consumers.
According to newly published details for the Parity 2.0 client, the software is being positioned as “expert software for production use and shouldn’t be considered end-user software or an ‘Ethereum Wallet’.”
As the post explains:
“We reflect these strategic changes by completely removing the graphical user interface, the so-called ‘Parity Wallet,’ from the client.
According to a post-mortem published afterward, the deletion of a code library that supports Parity’s multi-signature wallet sparked the fund lock-up.
