Subject: Re: [Bitcoin-development] Random order for clients page
Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2012 19:54:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1341860082.19764.140661099832829.0B000C71@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)
I think we are all so familiar with Bitcoin that we forget how daunting
and confusing it all is to new users. The clients page does a good job
in explaining that there are various pieces of software that they (the
new user) can use with their bitcoins.
It also helps with the question "Who can I trust ?"
By having the clients on a link from the "mothership" of bitcoin.org it
gives credence to all of the alt clients.
This last point is a good reason to only include open source clients
IMHO.
RE: The position randomisation - I have to admit I was secretly pleased
with the original layout, as MultiBit just happened to have the "eye
candy" position of "top and centre". It is only fair to have them
switch around.
