What I am really wondering. Don't know if it came up anywhere by now.
Will NEM be easy to use? Like foolproof easy.
Cryptos are all nice and superior and grand technology and all. But what about usability?
Will the coin be designed in a way that average joy can use it without double or triple checking every transaction to make sure he doesn't send his money to a wrong place while still being secure?
This point is utterly important. Without ease of use NEM will be just another niche product for pretty smart people with a paranoid touch. And with ease of use I mean as easy and secure as having a bank account.
And I mean everyday secure. Not SHTF secure.
Secure as having a bank account ? I sure hope it's more secure than that.
The goal has always been to make the client as easy as possible. However people need to understand that with advanced functionality comes a certain kind of necessary complexity. As easy as possible doesn't always mean every idiot can use it without any problems because it's just not possible to make it THAT easy. Especially for the open alpha people should keep this in mind.
Also people are to lazy to figure things out. Look at this thread. People are too lazy to check a few pages back or simply check the first page. Instead they constatly ask what's new and where to get NEM. If those people run into minor problems they will be here moaning so I expect a lot of that no matter how perfect the client is. It's just what the internet has made people.
