Alright, I have a bone to pick with you guys, and I am not an unreasonable person.
I have no experience with counterparty, but i should make you all away that I am an early adopter of monero, which means I have taken the time to deal with pure CLI currencies, and also that I am a miner, 21 years old, with no previous experience. Despite how challenging this all was, I realize I should invest in decentralized currencies for my own good, no matter how frustrating it may be. Yes, I fell victim to illusions of grandeur about mining like everyone does but luckily I mined 50,000 bc on february 24th which gave me a stupid amount of seed capital to work with, then I caught the DRK train, and the XMR train, so I made out reasonably well.
I am currently gambling on a shitcoin called skull coin, which is a counterparty asset. I don't know a damn thing about counterparty, but I am openminded.
Let me pretend I am the worlds stupidest person, which is exactly what we are trying to appeal to, in other words, the "masses"...
I got my 12 word password and wrote it down. due to the counterparty protocol logging me out against my will, I have been required to re-enter this password twice. It can only be done by clicking the mouse on the right letters for each word, twelve fucking times, which takes like 3 fucking minutes. I understand this is probably for protection against key logger malware, thus I am understanding of the inconvenience, but good luck explaining that to the worlds dumbest person. Surely there must be a way to avoid this, but unless you hit them dead in the face 3-4 times, the worlds dumbest person is not going to get it. so, how do I avoid this?
Next: Holy fuck this is annoying...counterparty software require me to stay logged in for x amount of time, but then I automatically get logged out. This is likely the fault of my browser of security features, but good luck explaining hat o the worlds dumbed person.
NOW: I purchased x amount of skull coin for x amount of btc. All of a sudden, I find out the purchase did not go through, whatever the fuck that means, because I was automatically got fucked out of my counterparty wallet and had to log back in, but now some btc is missing. I started with .047, now my wallet is reporting .041 and I have no other assets to account of it...
I understand there is surely a logical explanation for this, and surely my funds did not just disappear, and surely they will be retrieved. But how do you guys expect the worlds dumbest person to want to work with this? I do not mean to fud, I am jus pissed that I am having to deal with a bunch of stupid shit (compared to a standard qt wallet or CLI cryponote wallet) and I am not by any means crypto illiterate. Can someone explain to me wtf is going on here, and how I can buy this stupid shitcoin skull coin before time runs out?
