Some thoughts on the wallet
Hi i have some suggestions for the digibyte wallet to aide in user adoption and friendly up the mining / backup issues people regularly have.
NOTE : I do programming on the side but i'm not familiar with QR codes / storage max on them nor encryption techniques applied and how it could work. This is more an idea that hit me and i thought Jared could take a look incase it interests him.
First the Pictures
My ideas
- First on the main page separate out the balance... the number is stupid long and hard to read.... Spread it like 110 , 322 , 660.12345678 ==> This helps people see what they have
- I added 2 sections.. 1 is Digi-Guard (name just for show) and the other is Digi-Mining (name change to be more friendly).
==> Bundle the miner or an easy compact cpu friendly miner with the wallet... make it light-weight and friendly... you could have sliders to have it launch base on cpu/gpu allowance for the user so they can continue to work and have the miner run. You can market this to users as the wallet with a built in money earner... This adds more network hashing / security if linked to the digihash.co it supports devs with the percentage... and your average user gets to generate digibytes without needing to hunt for tips...
- Digi-guard... it guards your coins... backs them up. Now QR codes could be insecure for storing your data due to people copying them etc. However people find it easy to store pictures on usb keys etc. Combine the QR code ability with a password to scramble the file that the QR code will display. Put this in the mobile wallets etc which allows the backup to save to the image folder on android or iphone. If you were super paranoid about the images you could add functionality from a blank wallet to import the qr then have to rake the funds to a new key rendering the old qr code backup empty.
I just think that users losing their funds or having to manually backup tedious specific files in directory paths necessitates more user friendliness. We don't need guides for users to save files etc... we need to make that functionality plain as day in the wallet with minimal clicks. It should ask them where the backup goes and it should be a format they are familiar with to save and store. Just my 2 Digibytes.
