Title: Confusion with Download links.
Post by: lexikon on October 30, 2015, 11:34:00 pm

Hello Community!
     I want to bring to the forefront the issue of the links available for the Bitshare wallet. If the community wants to have Bitshare accepted by the "average" person we must start from the bottom up. Initially the download links for the Bitshare wallet is confusing for the average person. The links given for download are not explanatory for most people. Believe it or not most people have no idea what 64 bit is vs 32 bit. The links given for download are not explanatory for most and can have better descriptions. Here is what most people see now:
               BitShares-2.15.286-66c18c6-win64-cli-tools.exe
               34.2 MBBitShares-light_2.15.292.dmg
                69.8 MBBitShares-light_2.15.292.exe
                189 MBbitshares-light_2.15.292_amd64.deb
                 Source code (zip)
                  Source code (tar.gz)

I feel the links should have better descriptions like most site do. For example:
                Download link for 64 bit Windows Systems
                Download link for 32 bit Windows Systems
                Download link for MacOS
                Download link for Linux
One must remember that one everyone is technologically savvy. I am sure that may offend some, but the reality is that if you want Bitshares to become mainstream it must be understood by the masses.

Thank you.

Not tech savvy? No problem
Go https://bitshares.org/wallet (https://bitshares.org/wallet) or https://bitshares.openledger.info (https://bitshares.openledger.info) ...
Anytime, any Device, everywhere

Just take care of your Wallet backup and password.

Edit: Welcome.
