The market is huge
Think about all the people who refused to buy cell phones for years and ended up getting forced into it
People who want these devices probably outnumber people who don't
But people are so brainwashed they let big tech convince them product design choices are based on "what customers want"
Not sure it's huge. Most favor convenience over privacy. Some cypherpunks are even starting to concede that battle from a pod I heard recently (mass interest in privacy). I dunno, just chatting my thought early morning.
Obviously hard to find data on this, but in 2010 only about half the old people had a cell phone. The market is definitely huge and, again, probably bigger than the other market, because while adoption has grown, even the people who had cell phones in 2010 are tired of the problems with them now
2010 a bit dated, but point taken. Assuming reason they don't have one is those you've suggested. Such a device would likely be harder to use (not great for boomer demographic) and I still question assumption that the reasons they don't own have much to do with hardcore privacy concerns, but what do I know really? Not much.
Not wanting a society where everyone is listened to at all times isn't a hardcore privacy concern
Touché. Maybe all we need is a little eclair-ing to spark the momentum :)
Wait what
Haha callback to yesterday's post. Forget exact word but something like "eclair" means enlightenment.
I tried to anon zap you but I'm pretty sure it failed because lightning is trash
I've still been too demotivated (and was too sick for a while) to try to get actual on-chain tipping on nostr by checking on whatever nostr:npub133hgu8tluw24spyzey36tydy06ux0pw4tw0jttr0aeu8wq9vf4hsq9q6gk did with my bounty here https://bounties.monero.social/posts/163/4-029m-documentation-or-tooling-for-nostr-wallet-bot-setup
Thought that counts, thanks. Skimming this bounty. Neat idea, way out of my league, obv. Seems the guy was still looking to help couple months ago. May be time to hit him back up after the pause.
If I can't find someone else to take the first look for me, I guess I'll need a VPS or something as a safe testing sandbox
