Designing Guerrilla Usability test for a NON-custodial Bitcoin-ONLY Lightning wallet
Scenario
You're a product designer contributing on a NON-custodial Bitcoin-ONLY Lightning wallet running as mobile app.
Your team wants you to analyze some key tasks that are often performed by new users. You're looking to identify problems and opportunities in the flows for these tasks, and learn a little about the behavior and preferences of these newbies.
Task
Select a NON-custodial Bitcoin-ONLY mobile wallet app for this challenge. You can find a comprehensive list of on section B of this link, thanks to @DarthCoin.
For guerilla usability testing, participants are usually chosen randomly from a public place, like a coffee shop, mall, airport, or supermarket and asked to perform a short usability test in exchange for small reward. If you like, find the nearest shop accepting bitcoin around you and have the opportunity to meet someone new.
Perform the same test with 2–3 participants, ideally people who have never used the product before, and focus on the part of the app where they can receive some sats first, and buy or send value back later. Create a report of your findings.
Extra Credit: Perform the test with 5 or more participants.
