#AskNostr recently. What's Enjoying debates vs seed no your folks?

GM seed the

GM QnA 🤠🤙 not your keys, not your coins 🫡

Both approaches could technically cover that though...

Both approaches?

You can be seedless and self custody (with tradeoffs)

Awh okay. Gotcha 👌☺️

Seeds are great. No seed ux is also great. Different strokes for different folks. Not everything is black and white 🫡

GM! I'm old fashioned, so I like seeds (they're widely supported, so if e.g. I'm not happy with my current HW wallet I can easily switch to a new one, even by a different vendor)

Portability 🎯

Tallow on an XOR.

Interesting. Tell me more

🙃

Not been following. But would like to stay updated, does anyone have links to debates?

Mainly on X. Check out the BitKey team and Jacks takes on it. Stirred up some controversy.

There was a panel on Vegas too, so keep an eye on Bitcoin Mag for when that gets released.

I prefer seed on my bitcoin, not on my oil

Interoperability of seed words is a superpower. Being able to switch wallets without moving funds on chain is huge part of self custody IMO.

Couldn't agree more.

Spot on!

If focusing on normies? Even though the initial hurdle could be tough, effort should still be made to teach as many people as possible how to at least get their funds into Blue Wallet or Passport + Envoy...at least. For those who don't, choose the ETF don't get direct exposure and leave your funds on an exchange. Not only because of hacks or custodial risks. There are now new forms of threats looming over us all 👇👇👇

Normies should manage their keys too :P

I very much like knowing I have a steel seed backup

GM Q!

Personally I am all for seeds.

No seed - No sovereignty

I agree

When it comes to this topic a few permaculture principles come to mind that "no seed" does not fulfill, most importantly, integrate rather than segregate, and to a lesser degree, use and value diversity, design from patterns to details. Seeds are able to integrate while no seed is a segregation, because of the segregation, diversity (choice) is limited, likewise no seed is not able to follow to pattern of a seed phrase design forcing a whole reimagining of the system (unnecessary complexity vs improvement/iteration on existing patterns). I would say no seed is likely a short term solution that will be overshadowed by improvements in seed based wallet ux and seed management solutions.

Eloquently said, kudos.

The masses just want convenient
