Title: The web wallet is a must use sales tool.
Post by: bitmarket on March 16, 2015, 11:34:24 pm
I just spoke to a couple of non-crypto people.

Talked about bitshares for about an hour with not much to show except confusion.   
Then we went to https://wallet.bitshares.org/ and I asked them sign up for an account.

I sent them 50 cents each, and got them to send 25 cents to each other. The whole process was done in less than 5 minutes and light bulbs were going off all over the place.

The web wallet is a must use sales tool for non-crypto and is actually an easier sale than crypto people.  Crypto people struggle to get over the stable currency thing. Non-crypto people never think to ask. Futures contracts, derivative markets and delegates never get mentioned.

I cant wait to have a phone app without the delegate and markets tab to promote.

edit:  I should mention I have done this same process for bitcoin many times over the years and the difference is huge.  Bitcoin still left them confused because what is a bitcoin worth?  This is infintely more powerful. When they send 50 cents.... they get it.  No more question other than... Can we do it again?

The web wallet really is awesome. I also showed it to people today and like you said above, good responses. The brain key function is so good!

The webwallet is a subdomain though.. and likely runs off a completely different server system.. so I am wondering about this. Maybe one of the admins can weigh in on it.

https://faucet.bitshares.org/refscoreboard (https://faucet.bitshares.org/refscoreboard)

Tried that.. and it's showing the one registration today as no ref .. so that was the account I created.

Also while going through faucet I tried to login with my facebook but it kept saying I had to confirm my email.. nothing appeared.. so I tried twitter and that prompted for an email and worked. Has anybody else been successful signing up with Facebook?

When can we expect the refer option to work for the wallet?

Also curious what action has to happen exactly for the refer to be counted?

I love this web wallet.  So clean with excellent use of branding and colour to create a strong BitShares identity.  +5%

We could need a tutorial on how to set this wallet up so that our chinese friends can setup their own wallet .. i.e. @bts.hk

Working on it.   Wildpig has just helped detail several things in this area that we need to fix.

When viewed through my Galaxy Note 4 and Chrome, the edges get cropped and you can't read all the text, and zooming out and scrolling doesn't really work.  I know its a web wallet and not a mobile wallet, but I don't have any issues on any other web pages.  I have not signed up because of this.  Otherwise, keep up the great work!

I cant wait to have a phone app without the delegate and markets tab to promote.


And when that happens, we should send Max to the 'Shark Tank'  http://abc.go.com/shows/shark-tank .

Why not give people free money? $5 per person to get 10,000 people for a total of $50,000?

Also have it set up so there is a place for them to immediately spend that $5.

Think of it like blood circulating through a biological system. We need new blood which might mean we have to pay to get them to participate. Circle did something just like that but at the same time we could get the $5 back most of the time if we set it up so its very easy for people to spend the $5 on some product or service.

People need to see that they can spend $5 in BitUSD and get something real.
