No article explains deeply why a new UTXO set is needed for chain code delegation to be honored. Is there such a thing?

I figure it’s the age of the state realizing it cannot solve problems beyond its understanding, even if it does spend another several billion on the margin, and it’s freaking them out.

That’s a big one. If you get the people convinced to use it.

If Trump were really the "crypto president" he would end capital gains tax on the sale of it.

I am interested in helping train square merchants on lightning in my area. I already have one in mind that would be interested.

I really like bitkeys concept but why no simple display on the hardware part? Wouldn't this reduce an attack vector? What am I missing?

Why no [email protected] ( or @block) NIP-05 or Lightning address? 🥴

This is excellent stuff. I stopped using my Bitkey because of privacy concerns. You're doing the Lord's work. Now just make UTXO management better in the app.

Now add: let users recover their sats in other wallets, UTXO management, disable Block server as a recovery option, connecting to the node for normies who run Umbrels, Start9, or other types of nodes and have no idea how to request certificates.
Gordus · 20w
I am still greatly concerned about bitkey as two of the three keys are generated using secret closed-source methods. Someone please convince bitkey to fully open source their code 🙏 I own three of these wallets so I am not just a random person with make believe concerns.

When UTXO management? No “power” user can use this without that. It’s such a great product otherwise.
⌜Jan⌝ · 20w
What happens in the event of a hard fork? Does a Bitkey user have the ability to access both forked versions of the blockchain? I ask because my understanding is the keys are encrypted (one in the iOS app, one in the cloud, and one with Bitkey) and you can't actually see the keys - the Bitkey softwa...

Very interesting. I'd seen this a few times and ignored it. Thought it was just another bullshit product released mid cycle. It wasn't until I saw this page and dug deeper into it. Ordered a couple. I like how the owner is in control of two or three keys. Unlike fireblocks, where they are in control...

Will this be for every day consumers similar to Bitkey?

The same mistakes are made by Nostr developers today. It ultimately comes from contempt for users. Very bad energy. I applaud Bitkey for having a different, user-centric, perspective. It’s basically Nunchuk wallet, but opinionated with “sane defaults”.
