Well, for example, i used to keep all my XMR on Polo until web wallet came out... I guess there are reasons to keep coins on exchanges out of convinience, not just trading, it serves as a multi-wallet...
I don't understand that. I mean okay, appearantly it is indeed a use case but I don't understand why anyone would do it. It's like putting your money at risk for a little bit of convenience. It's pretty much like running around with all your money in cash in your wallet all the time just so you don't have to go to an atm. Makes no sense imho.
A lot of people dislike the usual cryptocurrency clients because they think those clients are uncomfortable and/or hard to operate. I for one don't have any issues but I prefer Electrum over Bitcoin-Qt any day. To make all kinds of people use NEM it has to be fool proof. No Nis booting, no blockchain syncing, no installing, none of that. It's way too much for the average user. It must be ready to use instantaneously. Make it as simple and as easy and possible.
Non-developer friends of mine outright refuse to use Bitcoin-Qt, Nxt client, etc... even words like
crypto or
blockchain turn them off. Once they realise Bitcoin-Qt needs a lot of time to sync they're like "wow why wait? PayPal is much better" (and rightly so tbh). If there's a lot of waiting, learning or fiddling involved, people aren't interested.
As easy as possible and as fast as possible is the way to go. On mobile and on desktop.
Exactly.
I had to move some NXT now and I haven't run the client in the last 8 days and it took 20-ish minutes to sync so that I can send NXT.
Unacceptable. Imagine nowdays that you have to wait 20 minutes to send an email.
Cold storage is different thing... I'm prepared to trade security with time and convenience...
Another idea I would really like to see: some sort of notification when tx arrives. The tray icon used to have pretty verbose notifications about NIS/NCC/something activity but no notificiations that someone sent me XEM.
I'm hoping that mobile app will bring those notifications at least, also I've been suggesting that instant transactions notifications need to happen if we ever want to see people using NEM to buy stuff in brick&mortar stores... I don't know how does it work now, maybe it is all already done. In that case - good work! :-)
Bitcoin is very slow (10-minute blocks) but tx are broadcasted immediately (I believe NEM's tx are too - they need to be) and that makes BTC useful to buy stuff without waiting for confirmations. Ofcourse on larger txs and if you have time, you can always wait 3-4 tx.
..it was sadly a very short peroid,..perhabs next time
