Why would the more tech savvy use a web wallet?
Sorry, I meant the opposite (less tech savvy). I'm not native English so I get confused with the terms sometimes Smiley


Ah yes, this is probably true until there is reliable protection from viruses etc.

Compared to investor tools such as Interactive Brokers it's pretty user friendly. At least the client doesn't have blinking red and green stuff everywhere. It really has only a few buttons, "send coins" "address book". How much less complicated can it be?

Also, the really tech savy should probably be using a webbased BTC wallet instead of the program.


Yeah, it isn't that bad. I'd like more features actually. Like choosing coins and importing/exporting keys.

Bitcoin doesn't need to be user friendly in the short term: remember how many people used torrents before Azureus was stable.

Sometimes it is good to have a geeky edge.  What is important is making sure our systems are much more secure than our competition.

Hmm, maybe making it norm friendly is a mistake.

The Internet was a nerd freindly only system one day too.

If it involves idiots crying about early adopters and deflation, indeed...

1. Buy Bitcoins
2. Make friendly software and sites
3. Huh?
4. Profit?

Maybe people are doing this. If you look around and think so, try this:

1. Buy Bitcoins
2. Huh?
3. Profit?

The whole system is nerd freindly only.

Seriously, if we want to go mainstream, there has to be some sort of user friendly program that can manage everything in a way our grandmother can understand it. Until then, BTC will be used for money laundering and illegal transactions until then.

My paraphrased thoughts.
