iiuc the federation itself would act as the statechain entity (SE) in this case.
If so, who holds the transitory key? The user itself? The user uses a federation *because* they don’t want to self-custody though.
Or would that key also be custodied by the fed? Like in any other Fedi-Setup.
If so, the fed still couldn’t move funds themselves, so safe here 👌
BUT this scenario wouldn’t protect against the fed being unresponsive/disappearing, no?
To broadcast the pre-signed, timelocked output tx, that I get as a user to protect me against the fed disappearing, the user needs its key, no?
I probably have some twist in my thinking..
Statechains + Fedimints are definitely a very interesting combination and quite some thoughts are popping up in my head.
Also need to do some more statechain digging.
An interesting feature of statechains is also that one can transfer ownership of one public key of a multisig UTXO (i.e. side of LN channel or position in DLC contract). I wonder how that could combine with federated channel factories or something alike where *users* can swap in and out.

First of all, I like “clean” dichotomies, which leads me to custodial & non-custodial, custodial & self-custodial doesn’t fulfill this as nicely.
The issue with custodial & non-custodial is that the favored option (non-custodial) is the negated form. Any negation carries a subtle negative connotation with it. Doesn’t matter for people who understood the concept, but for absolute beginners, such subtle nuances in language can make the difference on which option they’re leaning towards.
So, I would love to have a short, one-word, that describes the concept of self-custody, which we can then negate and we have the custodied option.
After some consideration, I think such term doesn’t actually exist. So, we either come up with a completely new word or .. we just stick with the current terms

If this is how you enter new relationships, this is what you’ll get.
No matter how often you got burned, it might make sense to give every new relationship, be it romantic or friends, the chance to become solid.
If you don’t do that, you’ll end up lonely 100%.
If you enter new relationships going all in on trust, you might get burnt and you might end up lonely as well, but you might as well not.

2023-02-25 10:10:24

- reply

Hm, also doesn’t fit perfectly, I’d say.
ChatGPT consultation brought up self-controlled, self-managed, self-directed.
After asking it to come up with a term without the „self“ prefix, it spit out „decentralized“
Grr!
Maybe we should make up and brand a new term for the concept of non-custodianship
I don’t like the negation in the term.

I’m with you, I’m also not too convinced with sovereign, too tainted of a term.
Does any term come to your mind, though, where we have the custodial version be the negated one?
… Self-custodial & non-self-custodial, would do it, but way too complex for sure!

2023-02-25 04:54:24

- reply

What about we switch to “sovereign” and “non-sovereign” (custodianship)?
Why?
The negated part in a dichotomy is psychologically perceived as the worse option.
With “custodial” and “non-custodial”, we negate the favorable option.
