It was a privilege to speak with nostr:npub1773r2y5zl3sa7xufmye96un3hf02rse8j82hkd45ps0wvk2hrkasslesjt about what the next iteration of nostr:npub1nv4j840c5ugjjq7ym3sqkz5jcschjx8ulnaa90645av0rwdylm9qv9x0gr looks like.

His incredible intellect is only matched by his unflinching integrity.

My latest for nostr:npub1x36ywys202q3y0cnrt8aj9cgm54ctt9qu6scv37xe254j98y2umquhlsth as part of their #futureofbitcoin month.

This is so exciting! I really hope they have good devs working on it; it sounds incredibly dangerous, but also important.

"The feedback I've gotten has really pushed me against doing self custody. With Machankura being a custodial service, people feel like they can call me to say: ‘This didn't work. Can you fix it?’ A lot of people are comfortable with that. You could still give great customer support with a self-custodial service, but you are on your own with regards to if you lose your keys, there's nothing we can do to help you. "

I agree! KG is actually handling all the dev work himself. I’m sure he’ll make sure to test the product thoroughly before bringing it to market.
