The average user just want's Bitcoin to work!!!!!

[Kprawn]

The average Bitcoiner still get loads of value for their investment and when they spend it, the transactions is still cheaper than any other payment

method out there. {That is to say, if they not using 3rd party services and paying extra fees} The average Bitcoin user should not have to worry about

block sizes and hash rates.... They should just have the confidence to invest in it or spend it on a daily basis. Whilst the developers are fighting over the

details and who will get the power.... most people just read the news and see Bitcoin has failed.

When you meet bitcoin first time everything looks complicated , but soon you realize
how easy to use and how good is this idea!
As money is perfect! As investment more then good! And community support is fascinating!

[BruceLee007]

well yeah a lot of people dont know a lot of things about bitcoin what means that they dont care how it actually works and that they only want to use it as money and nothing else

I think I understand the point you're trying to convey but without constructive criticism we would not get to a point with What's Best For Everyone.Since this is an open source community,there are more chances of what being concluded by a number of enthusiasts being actually implemented. All the advancements for "Not-So-Technical" users will be made through such discussions only.You can't expect to harness the power of a windmill without knowing how it works.

Yeah not all of us are tech savy. Most of us just want to pay and accept payments with bitcoin.
For me it is not different honestly.

[AliceWonderMiscreations]

I'm above average.

I want it to work for the below average user.

That's the only way it will ever be as ubiquitous as PayPal.

As ubiquitous as PayPal would be very profitable for me.

I doubt that any normal customer of a bank knows how a ATM works on the inside. They want to walk up to a ATM and just use it to deposit cash or to withdraw money. They seldom know how money is transferred between banks <Swift> and that not all money in their accounts are stored in the local vault.

This must be the same for the average Bitcoin users to make it easy for them to use the currency or the other features like Smart contracts.

First time I met bitcoin, I thought it was going to be just another one of those ecash attempts, I looked at it with negative bias, but within an hour I was in love because it was such a beautiful and pure concept.

I did have some confusion over what the term "wallet" meant but not about bitcoin itself.

To me, a wallet is a place where you store representations of value - cash - dollar bills - that don't change. That's why I had trouble, bitcoin doesn't have those. What it has is transactions, and private keys that prove you have the right to use an output from a transaction as an input in another transaction.

Transactions are a different concept than cash, I still have trouble when people call bitcoin "digital cash" or "Internet cash" because I do not see a concept of cash in bitcoin, Just transactions and cryptograpghy.

But I see things differently than most people.

The average non technical user just wants bitcoin to work, and work well.  We believe in the technology and in the expertise of those who invented it and continue to develop it.  But we may not have the technical knowledge to give an in-depth explanation as to weather we want 2mb blocks or 8mb blocks, or for things to stay as they are.

but as i said we just want it to work and everyone arguing over the details is not working......  Yes i understand that people have differences of opinion on the way forward, but everyone lets not destroy this one chance to make a massive difference in the world....

as long as i know about bitcoin,i just wanna be normal user,or just use bitcoin without try to develope or know more about bitcoin,but sometime i think that being bitcoin expert or learn more about bitcoin is really interesting,i wish i can do some work with bitcoin,or at least use bitcoin as more valuable thing.

[walwus]

Well I mean, it does work.. but it does need to be greatly improved before mass adoption can take place.

You mean a massive difference in ending the world? You do understand that POW is going to ruin our "planet" and eventually blast us all back into the stone age?

Yeah they depend on it for money, But it gives a vast idea about the various situations, happenings over the world market in accordance to the developing bitcoin technology

[gkv9]

If you are confused about block sizes, then according to what I understand, I think they are being increased in order to gather more transactions as before to get them confirmed faster, but yeah, with this, time will be increased for each block to get found...

Now about an average Joe, yeah, there are some technical terms that everyone, mostly who aren't tech geeks, are unfamiliar with, and what they basically understand is, BTC is money and it should work like the same...
