All work must be done by foundation and rich investors as they have most to gain, I don't have time to help but will support on these forums when I can.

All right, now we are talking !

We will be doing that (make EFL mass adopted) by releasing a killer-app soon (someone has to do it in crypto-country). Since the establishment of the foundation we have been working on education and carefully listening to what newbees experience when they are confronted with cryptocurrency. We have put together all major objections we received from mainstream users against the usability of cryptocurrency in general. In our latest newsletter we released a compilation of these objections, but since januari we have been working like hell to resolve them and we did succeed before the release of the latest newsletter.

We have asked the core-group in our community to participate in testing and we got heart-warming responses. July 3rd (one year after the foundation started) we will introduce the new wallet to the public through our newsletter (http://egulden.org/info/aanmelden-nieuwsbrief) and we will ask everyone to participate to help us improving it. We anticipate massive coordination and that is why we won't launch any marketing program yet. This is also the reason why we were relatively silent this year.

The first half year of our existence we stirred, disputed and listened. The second halve year we have been building. The next halve year we ( I really hope all of us) will be testing, improving and consolidating. We are confident that after that we will have a major showcase of where to go with cryptocurrency in general.

Testground will be Dutch territory, but the new wallet does not need many words. To give you an impression of what issues we have "attacked", here they are :

Installation of a new wallet must be a matter of seconds.
Someone who has never heard about e-Gulden (or cryptocyrrency for that matters) must be able to receive (own) them within one minute
There is no need for an ordinary user to be a full node, to have its own copy of the full blockchain and to constantly service the network. The network needs to be there, but it will be serviced by volunteers and those that need the full network-functionality. Normal users can switch off their system and be able to use their money, the moment they switch it back on.
All issues with authentication have been solved. With current techniques it is no longer necessary to remember long and strong passwords. The solution we applied is as safe as finding a grain in the known universe but does not require any username or password
Public keys must go, at least from the user's perspective. If cryptocurrency ever wants to compete with fiatcurrency, you don't want 34-character addresses to be able to pay. Of course they will remain but they can be shortened like Lgk1ZfP2wzEMhL8RZbNChSKE7EXSoyYwLK = bitwise shifted
People (in Europe) think in Euro's. A wallet must be equipped with the Euro denomination to make the wallet usable in everyday commerce. There are sufficient Exchanges available to calculate a reasonable average of e-Gulden an Bitcoin buys and sells. This will be the proposed wallet to wallet EFL-Euro price, presented in the new wallet. Near realtime (5 minutes) exchange statistics are supplied together with e-Gulden core statistics
e-Guldens are not easy to get by yet, for a newbe user. We have a solution in place to solve that. We are trying to get the wallet connected to one or more of the important crypto-currency providers before the july release, based on oAuth

EDIT
Last but not least (and more to come)

Micropayments are finally posible WITHOUT transaction fees. You can pay 0.00000001 EFL and the recipient will own it within one second. Your own balance will show/be "old balance"-0.00000001 . This way you can partition 0.1 EFL equaly with each dutch citizen

Awesome news!!!! Cool

I'll be glad to test that!!

Great job guys!!!!!
