This is pretty much the manifestation of my concerns in one post. XMR needs to be so easy to use that we no longer need to watch this forum for help from people trying to do basic things like store their money in a wallet or transfer it. The faster Monero reaches that level of one click usability, the more likely it will be that it succeeds.
Keep your eyes open, fellas.
I am an investor who has bought heavily into xmr.
I asked a question in this thread, and didn't get an answer.
You guys have to be on the aert for the opportunity to reach out to people like me.
I asked a question that was so simple it was apparently worth ignoring in the high level discussion going on here.
If I can't get up to speed on the wallet I then must choose between leaving my holdings on an exchange into the indeterminate future or dumping, which is bad for me and bad for everybody else.
Please make monero useful to people who know less than you do. It shouldn't be beneath you to give a beginner a helping hand.
As a new (long term) investor, I see anonymity as Monero's USP. Winning over hearts and minds that Crytonote is the 'go to' protocol for anonymous transactions has to be the coins priority and will determine whether or not Monero succeeds - not whether the coin is 'one click' user-friendly two, three or six months after beta release!
I wouldn't consider myself particularly computer savvy however I've been able to set up wallets on a mac and pc, transfer funds between wallets, exchanges etc., with little problem, so I don't see too many issues in that regard. GUI would be nice but not a deal breaker at this early stage.
Greater usability, better branding, fancy websites (!?!) and most of the other things people complain about can (and will) come later (for all coins).
Remember we are dealing with the birth of (potentially) breakthrough technology. At this stage, getting it right is more important than getting people 'on board'.
Make sure Monero has legs and can walk, before slapping on the make-up!
