I have struggled to get work friends to have a go at using any crypto currency as when I show them the wallets UI, they look puzzled and go on their merry way. Those they stick around a little longer because they have heard of Bitcoin soon lose interest when I run through the features of crypto and how the wallet works to send and receive coin. I've asked what do they not like about it and the common theme of responses are that it looks to technical (I.T).
I suggested to my closet friend, what if the wallet was designed to look like your average online banking interface?
He was a lot more interested. Once he had a better look he noticed the similarities between the traditional online banking and the coin wallet. IMO, if we want to get a greater acceptance of crypto, we need to make the IU more friendly

I am sure this has been on the minds of countless people who are into Darkcoin and our devs who are working on the project. There's also a thread that was created by DRKLord, who was working on making the wallet UI more user-friendly, but we don't know what happened to DRKLord, haven't seen him anymore. There were words that he might have been very ill.

Then the project was delayed. Now I think someone else is taking over but I'm not sure. If you or anyone can help with this, go for it. Here's the link to the thread: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/enhanced-darkcoin-wallet-ui.1705/

Yep, me and snogcel have taken over and are busily improving the looks, but it's still a lot of work to do because the UI-architecture (or lack of the same) we inherited from Satoshi doesn't make it easy.

Be prepared for some demo-screenshots soon :smile: It will not yet be like a traditional banking-software UI, but you have to start somewhere.

Once the basics are done and the first re-design is completely finished it will be MUCH easier to add additionally designs and think about future (UI-) goals.

Really looking forward to seeing what's coming. It would be great to see Dark over the line first with friendly UI:grin:
