Communication about web wallets being a bad idea (fluffypony sharing his experience with mymonero, talking about nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg ).
"Education" is sadly rarely a good answer. It does not work. Education does not solve society's problems and sadly it does not solve problems of many individuals either.
I think the better way is when the wallet becomes self-hosted for every home node. Integrate it into Umbrel or similar service and users would access it by logging into Umbrel or similar service, not by accessing it over the common internet.
I think that PWAs and home nodes are crucial for future.

I wish home nodes were more popular, but unfortunately I think there is a ceiling. In the US I think there is a cost benefit calculation. I considered an umbrel competitor and from europeans I was told that since they turn off the wifi to save electricity at night (!), that they would probably not consider this.
There are lots of interesting things one can imagine if everyone had a node with compute to rent let's say, but I haven't figured a decent incentive model (besides shitcoins).
