Bitshares Bank UI

[svk]

I do agree an alternative, simpler interface is needed. Perhaps you'd like to build something on my recently released new wallet template?

In the real world, your bank is actually a broker and not an exchange. In BitShares you can enter the markets directly and don't need to go via a broker.
There is also ongoing development to simplify the frontend(s) but currently, all we really have as a desktop solution is the full-feature BitShares wallet with all options enabled.
Stripping it down and making it more user friendly is a nice business opportunity .. btw. ..

Its is not easy to make bts simplier than it alreasy is......just take a look around even bitcoin is fucking unfriendly with those hdbdusishehehdjdjdhdhdhshshhshsh address......
Our enviroment as a whole is a lit bit far from average joe......but no doubt bitshares is in right track....simple adress, browser wallet with control of private keys just with a click, exchange, smartcoins, gateway.....holy shit long way to go.......it is just the start.....lets keep up

Bitshares Bank UI

One of the main things that appealed to me was using bitshares to replace my bank account. Where else can I have the ability to save in gold, silver, oil etc all within the same account? I still believe this is one of the strongest cases for Bitshares.

So If we are going to market BitShares successfully to people that want to use it as a bank account we want to have a really easy and intuitive interface. Personally, I don't have much understanding of derivatives and investing along with the terminology often used.

When I look at my own personal bank account its very clean and simple. It's intuitive for deposits and withdrawals. I don't have this funky graph with buy walls and don't have these bid & ask prices.

The point is it almost feels like I'm on tdameritrade or etrade sometimes, and that's ok. But I'm suggesting a new user interface that creates a simple, uncluttered, professional looking UI that caters for the average joe who wants the freedom to save as he/she wishes - think Greek citizens who would desperately love to escape the euro.

So, with this in mind I would like to see it as simple as depositing an amount of fiat and then purchasing bitgold without having to feel like I'm investing. The current UI, whilst I think it's ok for trading, doesn't currently make non investors comfortable. Therefore I'm proposing we have an exchange interface and a banking interface.

If users want to switch between different assets they could just pay a small fee above the current price to convert bitUSD to bitsilver for example. The current interface is great for an exchange, but I really feel that the best play for the best level of adoption is to appeal to the average guys need for simple, easy banking - especially as these large corrupt banks fail.

Well, that's my 2 cents.
