Myth busting. If you don't have a SIM card, no email, no chats, only install Bluewallet from a trusted app store, and then you encrypt the phone. Only use the Wi-Fi at home. Then, the phone attack surface is not bigger than an HWW. Google and Apple have more security

@Pleb4Fun @RunwithBitcoin @bluewalletio @BtcCuracao Yes also the attack surface on phones is much bigger generally. Then 2-of-2 seems risky as in this example has only 1 seed A steel backup, so if you get robbed you only have 2 seed B steel backups left. Not that bad but not sure if the slight UX gain is really worth it.

@peterktodd @giacomozucco @danielpbarron @Dieter75 @LukeDashjr @Seccour_FR @Mario_Gibney The lack of tail emission is a Schelling point. More so because it is the original design. Any tail emission is bike shedding. Doing the math on Lightning alone the backlog will be immense. Bitcoin must be hard to change (as you once told me).

There's a security difference between 1) using a Raspberry Pi as a full node with Bitcoin Core, other bundled software that's not hardened, and a 24/7 online hot wallet. 2) using a Raspberry Pi as an eternally quarantined purpose driven offline signing device.

2-of-2 Bitcoin wallets are underappreciated. My goal is to stop what's happening in Sweden where $5 wrenches are rekting OGs with memorized bip39 passphrases. You should not be able to spend your deep freeze at home without leaving to collect a second key.

@ercwl @zksync @argentHQ Ok I tried this. If I had started with fiat I could avoid ETH. To send WBTC using Metamask required ETH. No native BTC bridge. You should try Defiant wallet as a comparable for UX. Typical seed phrase backup. 17 hours for BTC to rBTC then you are in EVM and can swap to stables.

@BitcoinIsSaving @GhostofWhitman The merge isn't really proof-of-stake because it's not dynamic membership. You can add members but not remove them. Most attack vectors require leaving the consensus membership group. So, we haven't seen the old keys attack because there are no old keys until beacon unlock.
