Hi guys,

I just have some quick (hopfully quick) questions about BTSX, I have been trading and spending crypto currencies for about a year now and most of them are easy for me to understand, but BTSX has me a bit confused. My questions are:

1. What is a delegate?
1A. If I sent some BTSX to a delegate is that what causes my estimated yield to increase?
1B. If so, why is my etimated yield not increasing?
2. What is an asset?
2A. Is that something physical such as gold or oil?
2B. If so, is that was causes my estimated yield to increase?
2C. If so, how can I trade in those assets if this type of thing is 100% virtual?
3. Is anyone elses client slow to respond when navigating through the menus?
3A. How can I speed it up? Is this an issue with my computers RAM or programs and processes I am currently running on my computer?

Sorry for such noobish question, I guess I am in need of a "for dummies guide"
