How does that look like? https://video.nostr.build/b05dd6794b65865021a97809bd5854e970ec1f0132e02166c41968486e8b80bc.mp4

This is to pay less. Currently, most people are just doing FIFO for all their taxes and overpaying. This will let you pay far less by always selling the most expensive coins when you need to sell KYC, while getting rid of your cheap coins when spending, which are massive tax liabilities.

I did think of the use case, but I think it's far less necessary than you'd think. There are libraries to check current state, but checking distance to state borders is much more complex.

While many people live near borders, not that many people actually cross the borders every day, to the point that it'd be necessary to download by default. In philly for example, it's only a bridge away from Camden NJ, but I've noticed from license plates that there is rarely ever a car from the other side on either side. Most cities on borders are separated by a toll bridge and people rarely cross day to day.

Also, everyone has unlimited data nowadays. You can just hit them with the "would you like to download this states map?" modal when you see them in another state.

An ally is no use in a fight if they are shooting the wrong direction. Most videos are about singling out a company and blaming their greed. They never look at the underlying reasons to why they got to that position. They don't look at the regulatory capture preventing competition. They just pretend it's a fact of life that the company has 100% market share, say that it will forever be that way (even though we have seen many examples of large companies losing to newer competitors), and present the solution as a new law from one of their politicians that specifically bans one of the things the company does.

An example of a better creator is Louis Rossmann. He has a fraction of the reach of MPU, but he has far more impact and has directly affected legislation to increase freedom. He calls out specific companies when they do evil shit, he runs a tech repair business so he focuses a lot on that side, but actually knows what he's talking about. He knows why businesses leave NYC, because he was one. The MPU video literally pinned the struggle of the entire restaurant industry on Sysco, which I can personally tell you is bullshit. And the most important thing is that at least he is honest, when you know MPU isn't.

Never saw it way thanks for explaining it. They definitely don’t get deep enough to cover underlying reasons all the time, but I suspect that’s to keep attention as a lot of ppl aren’t ready to understand the deeper issues. I.e. you can’t orange pill someone without teaching them the attocit...

MPU is pure socialist slop. There's nothing of value on that channel. It's just leftist populist rage bait. And the videos I've seen where I actually know about the topic were flat out disinformation, similar to what you experienced here. It's not an honest outlet trying to identify real underlying problems. It's a large scale political slop operation.

Okay so latest release has most of this fixed and normiefied. I didn't completely remove the screens for the backup or wallet options, but I did make them WAYYYY friendlier.

I think you are good. Government is bankrupt anyway. Just ride it out until the collapse

Thanks for the feedback. Any specifics on the clunky areas?
