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 alert 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.

Thank you, Mumbles, for voicing these constructive concerns. In my experience the core devs are quite diligent in monitoring these matters, and prioritize them carefully. You can be assured that the software is progressing well, and the foundations for ease of use are already coming together, although the end applications will take a long time to achieve their full potential. iPod usability is not something that just falls from the sky. There is a lot of carefully managed complexity under the veneer of exquisitely designed usability. I think that in XMR, so much is at stake that the happy end-point is quite sufficiently motivated. You can have confidence that it will arrive, although perhaps not as quickly as you would like. Do please contribute your own efforts and other forms of support, including constructive criticism, on an ongoing basis!
