I find it frustrating when I Go to the trouble of posting a nuanced and reasoned opinion about something like Ecash or any other kind of custodial use. It is then turned around and represented as, oh, he's just dunking on Ecash. Everybody knows it's custodial.
In my comment, I pointed out many reasons why ECASH is a set of trade-offs that is useful. But I don't think every "pleb", as people like to call them, understands what the trade-offs are actually doing.
Perhaps my quip about your balaclava was what stung. If that's the case, then I apologize. That was meant to be humorous more than anything else. And my point being, if we use cashew the way that it's currently designed, we have to trust a single mint. That is a significant piece of information people need to understand.
I don't really like being dismissed as only negative or someone who is worth nothing because he's not coding something as far as you know.
Also, the whole "you have a coinOS" address in your profile is silly because if you read my words, I don't have anything against custodial use. I am just saying that if we are using custodial services, we need to be aware of it and I don't think everyone is.
Let me make another nuanced. Take. Sometimes, using a custodial surface will be the safest thing that a user can do. Not everybody has the skill to run their own node, set up a lightning address, have it work reliably, and not lose funds somehow in all the complexity that they don't understand.
The reason I would not be perceived as negative if you met me at a conference is because I'm not negative. My comments are positive, even cheerful, just realistic.
Maybe there is so much harsh and negative content out here that it ends up making everything look that way. I understand that. There are certainly some assholes that just like to say very simple one liners to discourage people that are doing hard work.
