Simplicity needed for mass adoption of EOS

in #eos6 years ago

Hi community,

As per OP some more simplicity is needed. I understand that these are early stages and EOS has already done much more than expected (at least from my point of view) but some things that I find would help mass adoption are the following. Any very short instruction and explanation is much appreciated.

I understand that some new cool things that I want to try i.e. Eos lottery, eos dice, wizzards, knights and other require scatter login.

I have scatter but I have 2 accounts there. I have not changed the owner and public keys. I understand that I should but I am just very afraid to even try that since I fear that I will break something.. I am the average Joe and not technical literate to experiment with these things..
So a solution is needed with specific steps within the client. Click this button to change. You should click this button. You should not click this button...Instructions build in ELI5..

I am afraid to even login via scatter to any EOS website above since I don't understand if there is any risk somehow my private key is compromised if there is anything malicious to these websites..
Is there such a risk?
What info these sites take from my scatter account?
How can I separate which account from my 2-3 accounts I have in scatter is used to log in to these websites?
Currently I put 1 password and these unlocks both accounts in scatter. How safe is this?

Information is all over the place... One has to go look at 100 different websites to find info about airdrops, airgrabs. what is the difference between airdrops and airgrabs by the way?
What is airgrab in eostoolkit?

I think there is a need someone to create a website with all the info in 1 place:
Airdrops,
Airgrabs
Instructions to claim these if no automatically done
Instructions to use scatter, simpleeos, greymass or any other wallet
reviews for these wallets
Instructions to create new accounts
Instructions to change keys the easiest and safest way
Safety measures for average Joe
Cold storage the easy way (I read about airgrabs pcs and my head just explodes...no idea what you guys are talking about)
etc etc etc...
The list is endless and time is very precious..

We need simple guides. Simple buttons. Accurate information..

I know that all these will get easier and easier by the time but I want to experiment and don't feel safe to do so as things stand right now..

By no way the above is meant to judge EOS development on the contrary just trying to find easiest way to do things..

Maybe someone should write EOS 101 with instructions for everything..

Thank you very much in advance for any easy steps, information, guides.

Don't be affraid to use scatter, scatter is safe and secure. All the transactions are signed locally, on your computer, before going on the internet. Your EOS Private key never goes on the internet.

To manage you Keys permission, I would recomand you to use Scatter + MyEosKit.

If you are not sure, you can create a small acount, with only a few eos, only for training the key permissions. Once you are sure how it works, do the same at your main account.

Have a nice day,

Thierry
