Hi everyone,
I wanted to comment on the difficulty for someone like myself (average joe) to get involved, and become a member of the bitcoin community at this stage.
It is in my very limited understanding, that it is in the interest of the community for as many people as possible to become users. Right?
So why is it so difficult? - Yes the bitcoin website, explains it ok. Download the client, and you're set. But still I think this could be improved. Also other 'important' information like encryption, and other bits are sprinkled throughout this forum, and in other places, making them quite hard to find.
Are there things currently in motion to improve access to people who are not software developers? If so, what?
I guess my question is how do we improve the current packaging? My first thought would be a nicely edited video taking users from the very beginning to a point where they've been set up securely and given an understanding on how to stay secure, would be a good starting point?
There are many many things that could be done to improve accessibility.
Heck the better the community is at this, the less you guys will keep getting bugged with the same questions over and over again.
Thoughts?
