Following up on this, the Android and iOS clients are critical. Native gui, packaged up, open-sourced. Easy for non-techies to install and use. What do you all think about crowd funding development of a lightweight client for iOS and Android? I would gladly contribute to that, I suspect others would to. Raising thousands of dollars/euros wouldn't be difficult. What about BountySource? (vs GoFundMe or one of the others).
Thanks!
