Bitcoin needs a lot more development in user-friendliness. Bitcoin apps need color, sound, pattern, and vibration cues that help prevent human error. I really like Bit Message with its colored patterns to identify users. I would like to see the research that went into that.
Bitcoin wallet apps need beeps, buzzers, and pings. They need color schemes to differentiate receive and send addresses. Optional talking cues would be great. So many people are so busy multitasking, they don't pay close attention to their money. How many times have you forgotten to get your change back from a clerk? With Bitcoin it's easy to send a wrong amount, copy/paste to a wrong address, or even carelessly pay twice. Web sites are notorious for that.
What I suggest is a Bitcoin skin conformity convention that keys in these multi-media cues in order to mitigate human error. When people are responsible for their own online transactions and have no safety-net, they need all the technological assistance they can get.
