I heard about this "Dead Hand" concept or "MAD"--mutually assured destruction and I started thinking how this could be applied to bitcoin.

Like how the Mogli in Jungle Book discoveries the temple of GOld, and the temple starts falling down on top of him.

OpenSesame Overwatch satellite--digital god or digital jester

in which a second wallet is funded with responsibility for securing the first wallet. If the first wallet is stolen, the second wallet could begin a series of dominoes to send retribution to the involved parties.

Load your intentionalities, it watches over your wallet.

If someone steals your wallet, they also need to notify the satellite. it's heard the owner's intentions.

otherwise it sends a message to the NOSTR network: so and so's wallet has been illegally swept to X address.

a lightning wallet could check if funds were from an stolen address before sending. "will this make the overwatch angry?"

the only way to make this overwatch god happy again is to send him your part of the stolen funds. then he will strike you from his list that he pursues.

The overwatch would pay relays to download it's encrypted databases of intentionalities by slowly releasing bitcoin from its insured wallets.

I love the idea of automating certain actions if something happens to me and funding the consequences with bitcoin. Lots of people could join in and make it an insurance scheme...

Also its giving me the "can't zap" message when I try zapping you

So I just set up the Alby hub cloud service with built-in lightning channel. I'm now running my own lightning channel apparently after clicking thru these interfaces.

"Just Click don't verify" for tech stuff I don't quite understand.

It looks quite exciting. I feel like a small credit card provider rn. Catch me now IRS.

I've always wanted to have a lightning channel
