Power Users make mistakes too and have varying levels of understanding of the software and bitcoin. We will discuss this topic more in the MCC Design Panel.

Perhaps the bed.money account could do a live tweet of the panel to give it a bit more exposure.

Also we will discuss designing for everyone. Who is everyone. Faces a simmilar problem to the power user persona, except the power user persona is not inclusive.

#### Tweets

- "Many open-source projects lack insights that companies have on usage patterns, and user attitudes through analytics, sales and support. And since we cannot rely on precise data to understand user behaviour, we’ve got to lean heavily on UX Research."

- On Disconect ... 
    - "Open source teams are usually blind as to how end users interact with the tools they build. Contributors, reviewers and maintainers work with simmilar bias to each other. 
    - “discussions about usability and UX issues in OSS communities were largely influenced by the personal opinions and experiences”
    - Personal preferences/opinions of contributors.

- On Under Funding ... 
    - "UX Research is expensive, underfunded and in open-source there is often times the resources to allocate to research efforts. So contributors make design + technical decisions get made by through personal preferences/opinions and very technical teams usually don’t have the context to get hardly rarely. Congrats to Jamaal who isn’t on twitter but also does some tremendous work with @makeopenmoney #BitcoinDesign

- "People ignore design that ignores people" - Frank Chimero
    - Good UX design is all about putting the user first. Any aspect of a website, app or software that doesn’t consider the user’s needs is ultimately doomed to fail. A huge part of the UX design process is getting to know your target audience: what are their goals? What are their challenges? What motivates them, and how do they move? The entire product should be built for these people.

- “When UX doesn’t consider ALL users, shouldn’t it be known as “SOME User Experience” or… SUX?" - Billy Gregory
    -  UX design must strive to be as inclusive as possible. It’s essential to design not just for the average user, but for all users.
        -  _**Should we use the term "user"? Are there any thoughtful Human First Design considerations against this?**_
        -  **_e.g. of an arguement could be something like, if you hide behind "power user" or "user" then you fall into making too many generalisations about individuals... or something like this_**

- "Rule of thumb for UX: More options, more problems." - Scott Belsky
    - Want to know exactly what it is your users care about? Which goals and features they deem essential, and those they don't. We're diving deeper into user research to find out what makes users tick.

- "Design isn’t finished until somebody is using it.” - Brenda Laurel
    - Where all those bitcoin designers at?

- “Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future.” - Robert L. Peters
- “If we want users to like our software, we should design it to behave like a likeable person: respectful, generous and helpful.” - Alan Cooper
    - How are you designing your product to impress?

- “Every great design begins with an even better story.” - Lorinda Mamo
    - There hasn't been a more interesting story of financial freedom that bitcoin. Take it or leave it.

- “If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.” - Albert Einstein
    - What problems are you trying to solve in your project? Before you begin, always ask yourself, "am I asking the right questions?"

- “Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.” – Robert H. Shuller
    - Let your User Research become the stop signs that deivate the product's path to where it wants to go.

- “It isn’t that they cannot find the solution. It is that they cannot see the problem.” – G.K Chesterton
    - You can't see the problems until you speak with those facing them. Need help finding some user personas for financial products? We've open sourced our user-research to allow the bitcoin community to have a conversation with who they are designing for.

- “Problems are nothing but wake-up calls for creativity” – Gerhard Gschwandtner
    - Ready to find the next solution? We have found hundreds of pain points worth exploring. Time to get creative.

- “We fail more often because we solve the wrong problem than because we get the wrong solution to the right problem.” – Russell L. Ackoff 
    - How can you know what the problem is until you know who you're designing for?

- “If you are unable to understand the cause of a problem, it is impossible to solve it.” – Naoto Kan

- “Instead of thinking out the box, get rid of the box.” – Deepak Chopra

- “Solving problems means listening.” – Richard Branson
    - Our role at bed.money is to listen to those who need to be heard. It's the designer's role to solve their problems. Ready to jump in?
