Brilliant feedback thanks Russ!
I've implemented a lot of these ideas. I do need to make it look nicer, but my design skills are lacking
Why recommend WoS? Why recommend any wallet at all?
We need an easy to use, as non-custodial as possible lightning wallet. Agree regards a specific wallet. I like blue wallet but the developer has got a monopoly on the lightning fees being paid and this wallet at the moment is not economical to use.
Need to be somewhat opinionated when we're helping people to use the tech, agree important to eventually understand the tradeoffs but from a practicality standpoint - what works first.
Need to have a comparison of lightning wallets and how custodial they are, as there are quite a few levels to this as well.
My feeling is that this content was written by a Bitcoiner who knows the system so well that they aren't necessarily easily able to present information to normies. The normies in question are the very people who need to know the what, how and only perhaps the why of Bitcoin.
The graphic under the first content block, while 100% accurate is approximately irrelevant to your audience. I appreciate you want to on-board people onto "Bitcoin" itself as well as provide them the info they need to accept it into their businesses. However, without the latter, they aint going to go in for the former. Ergo, content needs to be tailored to them specifically. Once they're "hooked-in", then you can explain about hard money and the realities of the fiat monetary system.
I'm a huge believer that in many cases the public should be using Bitcoin without them knowing they're using Bitcoin. I get that this will be very hard to do right now, but as an ultimate aim, Andreas Antonopoulos' famous story of the history of his sending email in the early 90s vs swiping on an iPad today is an excellent comparison to make as to where I think we need to get-to.
I don't know what sort of advocacy you're doing in the background, but looking at the website with fresh eyes, there are questions being asked in my head as if I were a normy, that should be avoided and reduced at all costs if the visitor is to remain and read everything. There's an old rule in website development from a user's perspective "don't make me think" (Steve Krug - https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Make-Think-Revisited-Usability/dp/0321965515/)
Here's a list of issues I've identified after approx a minute of reading:
Why Should My Business Accept Bitcoin POS?
Next-up, the FAQ needs to be geared toward business owners:
FAQ:
That depends on who you are. To business-owners, it is simply "electronic cash" with instant or near-instant settlement, no possibility of chargeback and the ability to send absolutely anywhere in the world.
Absolutely not. In fact the NZ government and IRD already permit businesses to pay their staff in Bitcoin.
No! Bitcoin is not currently treated as money by the NZ government, rather it's seen as "property". The only pont at which you may need to think about declaring tax on Bitcoin earnings, is if you convert them into NZ dollars. <ADD LINKS TO IRD AND tax calculator apps/sites)
There are several off-shoot digital cash systems that use the word "Bitcoin" in their names. Bitcoin itself is the original peer-to-peer digital cash system invented in 2008, all other digital currencies were created much later. You can find out more at: https://bitcoin.org.
Yes and No. Yes, in that all transactions exist in a publicly viewable place - the Bitcoin "blockchain" - but No, there is no personally identifying information stored alongside the transaction data or anywhere else in the blockchain such as a customer's or businesses name, email or IP address.
After this, all the other sections, graphs and info can be presented.
Also, the site looks a little "bare". It could do with a splash of colour. Unfortunately, my design skills suck. I can't help there, but I can recommend someone.
