Bitcoin can be used for crime because it works, just like every other neutral tool (such as cars or cell phones). These criticisms are actually own goals by politicians.

I think they are often the same thing. Being secure often means keeping something secret.

I was thinking maybe something like this from the terminal, and possibly using other relays you've posted to as well:

There's websocat which you could use to request all your kind 3 events from a given server. It's wouldn't be very user friendly but I believe it would work.

Yeah I forgot about the hardware itself.
For some HW devices it's possible to extract the seed from it, so without a pass phrase you have multiple ways of being owned (HW compromised, or paper / metal backup stolen).

2024-01-05 02:29:36

Chants about self sovereignty are often elitist and naive. We live in a society with division of labor (for good reason), so the question is often who is worthy of trust rather than whether we should trust anyone at all.

2024-01-05 02:20:26

- reply

Use a very simple pass phrase that you memorize and store in a password manager. You can call it a single point of failure, but that's hardly an issue if the chance of failure is close to zero for the wallet owner.
On the other hand no pass phrase leads to a very significant single point of failure in your seed phrase.

@npub16c0…6nvr Any thoughts on providing users other ways to spend sats on Primal other than zapping? Maybe relay subscriptions or actual purchases of real world goods and services.

Free markets require rules in order to function, so it's not unreasonable to ask if those rules need to change.
Not saying that should happen for inscriptions (it's probably not worth it, just let them keep donating to miners until the fad passes), but free market doesn't mean anything is allowed as long as you pay enough.

IMO the passphrase probably doesn't even need to be that complicated either and could be something that's super easy to memorize. So you'd have to forget it and lose access to your password manager.

Isn't operating on a forked bitcoin essentially just another independent chain? The bitcoin affinity scam wouldn't really work because it would be real bitcoin in the same way bitcoin cash is (i.e., not at all). I think some kind of pegged side chain makes more sense for them.

What if the lack of privacy on the base BTC layer ends up being a good thing?
If, long into the future, it's mostly large institutions using the main chain for settlement, we might be better off with things being easier to audit (e.g., for detecting fraud).

I think the key is to develop products that don't require much of a compromise between convenience on the one hand, and privacy / censorship resistance / whatever on the other. Given the choice people will almost always choose convenience and comfort.

As I understand it is Liquid is a federated model, so you're trusting that several of the functionaries (11 of them I think, in different legal jurisdictions) don't all collude at once to censor transactions.
It's just different trade offs. Better than keeping BTC on an exchange but not as good as on the main chain. In return you get more privacy and lower fees.

Who said they are trustless? And you can hold your own keys on Liquid the same way you can on the main chain.
