I propose \nthat we put MultiBit as the default desktop client \non the bitcoin.org \"Choose your wallet\" page.\n\nI think a typical new user comes to bitcoin.org from a \ngoogle search or a Bitcoin news article. We want them to \nperuse the bitcoin.org site and try out a wallet. They \nshould be able to get MultiBit up and running in a tea break. \nThen perhaps they get a colleague to send them some bitcoin \nfrom an Android phone by zapping a QR code. \n\nWe say: \"Welcome to the Bitcoin economy !\"\n\n\nThere is plenty MultiBit cannot do of course. However if\nin the first ten minutes we get the new user interested \nthere is a good chance they will go on to explore other \nBitcoin wallets and solutions. \n\nLet me know if you think this is a good idea (or not!)\nand if you have any questions.\n\nJim\n\nhttps://multibit.org"}
