This is awesome feedback - thanks David. When you consider these features, which if any do you think you would be willing to pay for having access to?
Right now I'm considering offering this information for free to consumers, but as a compliance tool for institutions and businesses to utilize Bitcoin in a compliant, legal, and accountable way. If you have .02 on this idea as well would love your feedback.
A clear, simple, wiki-like updatable, by-country listing of [regulation; online exchanges; irl options to buy; merchants], to help make those Bitcoin services visible.
Somewhere that merchants will want to register their detail because it's the go-to platform - perhaps an automated search for ~"Bitcoin offered here" plus manual contributions.
and a news feed, that's reliable quality.
Keep it simple, keep it focused on Bitcoin only for now.
Perhaps also have a ABC FAQ walk through and example videos etc of real life use of Bitcoin.
Lists of which mobile devices work well with the apps and which do not (Andriod 2.2.2 not so much for example but 2.3 ok)
Perhaps also provide a clear description of the wallet options and the advantages and disadvantages of each.. and perhaps detail that wallets are private keys and keeping those safe is critical.. suggest how to move the wallet.dat; encrypt it, to help avoid issues with weak OS' like Windows.
