Hi guys, This would be a big step forward. Anecdotally I can report that <5% of * non-nerds* who don't abandon Bitcoin after waiting for the initial blockchain download and *ongoing* sync on every restart, end up using blockchain.info simply because it just works and works on their iPads & iPhones. Conversely, all the serious nerds end up using Armory and/or Brainwallets for ultimate control.
