Talked about the onboarding process for current zcash users. +2. Talked about language metaphors used for cyrptocurrencies, and the need for global consensus around what design patterns can be commonly used in the ecosystem; the need for defining user personas before developing UIs and the like; the need for awareness in the UI for users about what information is leaked. +3. Talked about the onboarding process; there are no manuals for users, and no places to ask questions easily; the language - what is a shielded transaction? etc.; transaction expiration - do I want to be checking my phone every hour?; a better estimation of fees would be nice, especially in failure modes. +4. Jumped in and imagined ourselves using a mobile wallet; Showed the balance, but ripped out the investor stuff. The idea is that it is Contacts driven: defaults to IP address and transactions. Icons to encourage people that they are doing well, change the color of the screen based on the leakage. +5. Choose between sec and privacy; when you send a transaction, (based on mailchimp), you can go to the block explorer and check out the transation; simplify the address to make a keybase-like experience. We discussed this, and there's some quick things to make. Stress is the main thing to try and dissolve - everyone is stressed doing this. +6. Looking at language (shield, shielding); but also given that the hash has two states, private and not private, holding it in a wallet is odd as a privacy place. The Miminero wallet has multiple levels of privacy; maybe language and color showing when something is shielded or unshielded. \ No newline at end of file
