trust takes time.
or money to create a trustworthy image. like all the big, untrustworthy companies do it.
open source doesnt mean shit to the 95% of the population who get their information from evening tv. nor does any other objective measure of how trustworty an entity is. its just to complicated.
so either you ignore the problem completely and pass on that audience for the time being - which is what we have to do anyway, because we dont have the software for average joe - or you adapt the marketing strategies of the big companies.
so imho dont target average joe. its not worth the time right now and especially not worth the money it will most likely cost.

Look I know YOU dont trust them but you are not the target.
I´m talking about avarage joe who have heard about Norton/mcafee/insert "avarage joe trusted companyname dealing in security here" since years back and will never trust a "unknown" company to hold their money.
Ofcourse in a few years things will change but I´m talking this/next year.

trusted software companies such as Norton mcafee
ahahahahaha
is this a joke am i right?
people do not know the companies behind them.
do you really know your bank ?some trusted software companies such as Norton mcafee
haha, right.
Try BitcoinSpinner for Android. It's open-source.
Right now one of the problems with the new mobile clients are that people do not know the companies behind them.
If I recommend a small shop to start using a mobile client, which should I recommend?
I believe that if some trusted software companies such as Norton mcafee or any other trusted company gave out a client it would be easy to get new people using it, people would probably even pay money for using it.
However they might not create one in years.
So an idea would be for you guys who develop a mobile client to let them license it from you. This is a common approach in many other businesses such as gambling in which a software developer licenses their software to a trusted gambling name.
