I totally agree with the OP - We need some serious simplicity before bitcoin takes off.

I'm sure that there are people here who remember how difficult it was to get on line with a Windows 3.1 PC.

OMG! This means Windows 3.11 for workgroups is next? Or even Windows 95? Shit just kept getting worse.

Aaaaargh, I'm old enough to remember when getting online meant hooking up to a BBS on VIC20 via a 1200 Baud modem, there was no Internet and that's about the stage we're at with Bitcoin, we're working with BASIC and at machine code level.

It won't be until there's a Windows 95 version of Bitcoin that you will see mass adoption of Bitcoin and I have no doubt that time will eventuate, build it and they will come.

That doesn't mean those people are stupid, not every one has an affinity for grinding 1's and 0's all day long, as a mechanic I often despair at how little people really know about their cars and what makes them tick under the hood and I wonder if the OP really knows what he's doing when he sticks the key in the ignition and shifts into D for dumb.

BTW, my 80 year old mum is a great grandmother, uses a PC at home for email, banking, skyping, Facebook etc. and an iPhone on the road, stop stereotyping older people OP, you'll get there yourself soon enough.
