I've honestly had a lot of issues with it. I want to like it because I like the roadmap and ethos, but I have payments fail all the time, the fedimint integration hasn't worked once for me, routes constantly fail for the LN Address, etc. I pay for Mutiny+ to support development, but Zeus is my daily driver to self-custodial LN right now. Just works more reliably for me.

I was trying to test out Mutiny's LN address, but I guess it's not working. Swapped to a different one, so I think it'll work now.

Liquid is federated, but it's an interesting way to consolidate UTXOs cheaply before you settle on-chain. Aqua itself is a good tradeoff balance for some people - interoperable with Lightning without requiring liquidity management. I consider it a decent onboarding tool for people that aren't yet ready for self-custodial LN like Phoenix, @npub1mut…23vg , @npub1xnf…lpr5 , etc. Avoids the upfront liquidity cost to establish a new channel.

The challenge of our time is that we must accept both the responsibilities of our blessings and the risks involved in defending them for ourselves and for future generations, and we must do this without hesitation if we are to be worthy benefactors of that precious heritage of freedom passed on to us through the epic sacrifices of those who have gone before.”

Setup multi-vendor multisig, and then you don’t have to worry as much about each hardware wallet. One could be compromised without you losing everything.

I thought Jack had reposted their article from yesterday about seed phrases (https://bitkey.build/seed-phrases-are-sharp-edges/) and responded before I saw it was a new article about hardware device screens.
I don’t agree with all the reasoning in that seed phrase article. Ultimately, someone has to control the seed. If the user doesn’t keep a copy themselves, then they’re deferring trust somewhere else.
“Seedless” custody generally puts a lot of trust in the device securing that seed. Without a seed backup, hardware failures are catastrophic for singlesig setups. I would never do seedless unless it were multisig. But even with seedless multisig, losing a device means you have to deal with a more complicated key rotation process, rather than just recovering the same seed into a new device.
In Block’s Bitkey setup, it sounds like it’s seedless multisig “until you need to export the seed”. It’s yet to be seen how sovereign that recovery can be or if you’ll have to ultimately get permission to access a seed or move to a different multisig coordinator. It sounds prone to lock-in, but I’d need to read more about the technical details to know.
There are trade offs to various approaches, and I don’t think their seed phrase article properly highlights those trade offs.
—
But like I said, the article Jack linked in the OP is a different topic - hardware device screens. It seems pretty well reasoned, but I only skimmed it. I don’t know if I agree with all the listed attack vectors and risks associated with over-reliance on device screens. I prefer a screen on the device, but screenless might work well enough in their setup, since it’ll have a server-side component to help verify data.
Regardless, it’s a unique approach, and I’m interested to see how it develops. Will probably be a good onboarding option for less technical people.

Been reading a book about memory techniques, and the main idea is that imagery/storytelling is the key to recalling information. The more vivid and absurd of an association you make with some concept, the easier it is to remember and synthesize later.
Preliterate civilizations would form elaborate stories/lore to encode important information and insights about local food, geography, tradition, etc because those stories are easier to remember and communicate between generations.

Yes, I think there's an interesting overlap between the two protocols. Nostr seems great for blasting small data blobs (like punch links), event-based notifications, and finding peers to connect with. Holepunch could do all the heavy lifting after that for more resource/data-intensive tasks between linked peers. Interested to see what gets built.

2023-03-02 20:51:33

I just want a simple interface where I can choose a subset of relays for different views of my timeline. E.g., geographically local relays, paid relays, personal/private relay events, relays dedicated to specific content/topics, etc. Relays haven’t really specialized in that way yet, but it seems like many will eventually. Right now, I pretty much just get a massive feed of everything.
