Only problem I see with Linuxcoin is the user friendliness. I'm not sure I can install and run it properly. I tried to read and understand the thread and info. If I actually tried to do it it would be an entirely different matter I guess. But newbie dummyness is something to be considered here. Just because you can do it, does not mean the general population finds it easy to adopt.
Seriously, people need to make instructional videos for doing these things.
I think it's the way some people learn, or non technical people like me. If I read something complicated, I get lost following the thread of the idea, because i have not practically applied the info yet. When I see it on video, I can get the sense of whether or not I can do it as well. If people really care about the future of bitcoin, they need to make simple to follow instructional videos on how to do things like "paper wallet backups", "encrypted USB drives", "Linuxcoin safety and procedures" etc etc.
I'm not complaining here and I appreciate all the input and i'm still trying to wrap my head around a lot of it.
The thing is, i'm not dumb, but i'm not the most computer literate either. I have my own area of study and knowledge and I can see how sometimes people take what they know and understand for granted, but fail to realize how others cannot process the same data in the same way because they lack a foundation in which to process it. That's why videos help. If i'm intimidated by trying to read and learn about it, then Videos would help people like me, and once I studied the videos, I would be able to implement it without fear. Just saying...suggestions folks, make videos.
I'm working really hard on getting linuxcoin as bug free as possible and as user friendly as possible. There's now an easy installer for windows that can set up everything in minuets and everything you need has been GUI'd and put into a menu very similar to the start menu in windows.
I know there's a lack of documentation and information but once I've finished a few things I'll start on the documentation and put some videos together.
i have put a video on how to install linuxcoin with my version of unetbootin if anyone's interested.

I watched the videos, thanks. They are complicated for the layperson though. I look forward to your future projects and the progress of Linuxcoin
