I absolutely agree.
Absolutely agreed, making Okcash easier to use to the average user is one of core values in the Okcash vision,
while we continue to work towards this goal, we try and provide different tools for users, as we believe the
final decision should be user based on what system fits/works better for them.
At this moment you can already do this within OK Discord, you get assigned an Okcash and Bitcoin wallet as soon as you join,
from there you just need to deposit some coins and you become able to send any amount of coin you want to another person,
without the need of knowing their OK address, you only need to know the name and sent it to him in a form of tip.
example: .tip @user 100 Okcash
or change the currency to BTC and use the same method.

Thanks OKToshi. I think you and the team have done amazing things so far and I have faith you'll bring us all to even greater heights in the future. I'm just trying to throw out ideas or share my thoughts with the hopes of making it better for all and inspiring conversation of what might be possible.
I would like to add that while Discord may have that functionality, I would not count the app as something likely to be adopted by an every day user. If a user has to learn syntax, even the simplest of syntax, I think a lot of people would find that overwhelming and just move on. I'm embarrassed to say this, but even I found it confusing with all the commands I saw people typing, and I could never find a help menu to explain what they were doing, so I uninstalled. (to be fair, I'm not into chatting, so that had something to do with it too)
What I imagine being adoptable is not .tip @user 100 Okcash, but something as brainless as clicking a button to select an address, typing in an OK amount, clicking a send button, etc. Like, if selecting contacts was as easy as selecting cryptos at ShapeShift, that would be sweet. JMHO. That is all.
Unfortunately I can not change the discord app at all. But I have tried to keep the commands simple and with enough help avaiable, if you send ".help" as a message then you will see a list of commands you are able to do. However the most important ones are ".balance" ".withdraw" ".deposit" and ".tip"
Balance, withdraw and deposit should be obvious and .tip is the command you use for sending OK to others, if you use ".tip" it'll give you a quick explanation on how to use the command.
