Confusion: Contract based simple wallets about meteor-dapp-wallet HOT 10 CLOSED

We can probably improve this, but here is the gist:
Only wallets can currently show you incoming and outgoing transactions. Plus they add the possibility to add multi signature. Meaning that they can be controlled by multiple owners (accounts).

Accounts can store ether, but are more owners and signers of contracts. These are like your passwords to say.

@alexvandesande ideally we have some simple way of explaining that on start when you don't see any accounts yet. At best with not to much text :)

I agree this can be improved on the future but by UI, not text explanations. I'll think about it

To create a wallet I need some ETH. I can buy some and send it to my Etherbase account. But accounts can't list incoming transactions ???

But you see the balance changes :)

Using the UI to make it self explanatory is the best. Maybe first identify
what is the recommended way we want novices to do it, and then change the
UI to enforce it. Advanced users should be able to override the behavior.

Personally, when I get two options to do something I don't understand, I
become uncertain and afraid to continue the process. Especially when there
is money involved.
