Ok. This is probably the most basic stupid question of all time, but I have a mac and want to download the latest multibit wallet, and when I click on link to download, the following list of downloads appears. Which one??? I gotta tell ya, its gonna be loooooong time before these bitcoins are widely accepted. I am not a techie, but have become obsessed with this currency, and I constantly run in to roadblocks caused by jargon I don't understand, even on supposedly user friendly clients like multibit. (Not to mention the paralyzing paranoia caused by reading all these freaky stories of people getting scammed. I'm afraid to turn on my computer.) Finished ranting. Thanks for listening.

I suspect similar things were said in 1995 about web browsers of the time.

I'll explain it to you for the future. Your operating system is mac os. So when it has a linux and windows in its name its definitely not going to be those so you can throw those four out there. That will make it so that its .dmg for you (or none of them because most of these things don't have a client for mac). However, a simple google search will tell us .dmg is designed for apple so now we have the choice of .dmg or .dmg.asc. Well whats .asc? Another simple google search will tell us its an adobe extension, which we have no use for and as a result don't want. That'll leave you with multibit-0.5.9.dmg.

Hope this helps!
