The cost of using Wallet of Satoshi is the balance you keep on there. I actually look forward to the rugging. There are way too many Bitcoiners totally comfortable with the WoS situation.

Do you think their balances are large enough to care?

In aggregate, yes.

So not enough for any one of them to care personally. Got it.

That is my use of it. Keep not enough to care on there.

Some, yes.

🤔. What do you use?

WoS on here with max balance of 10k sats. Phoenix is my real lightning wallet.

Are you being sarcastic?

Did you read my post?

Yes you’re either being sarcastic or a hypocrite.

My cost of using WoS is the balance I keep on there.

You are shaming people who use it while using it yourself. That is hypocritical.

I’m not shaming anyone who is using it. I am shaming those who use it as their only Lightning wallet. It is a tool. That is not how many Bitcoiners treat it.

You assume that is the case. Maybe you’re right. Maybe they understand it fully and they’re simply ok with the level of risk they’re taking, just as you are. Why shame anyone? Why not simply educate? It’s a tool as you say; teach people to use the tool appropriately.

I agree with you. We should be educating and explaining it as a tool. There are many Bitcoiners that don’t share this view and are totally ok with WoS being THE lightning wallet they use and get people onboarded to without understanding the risks.

Have you listened to the latest Citadel Dispatch? There's a better way now.

Yes. And agreed that will solve a lot of the issues. Still trade offs though. Personally, I just accept that one day I will lose 10k sats and that works for me.

Naively sent 50k sats to WoS

They will die with WoS🫤🫡

Too expensive to move

I am assuming that was on chain?

Yeah

Will probably just send them to people on here rather than eating the costs to move them. 10k max is the play. Thats what I had done for the longest time but once I got the zap feature back on Damus I got a little carried away lol

Haha. I don’t know about the on chain to Lightning conversion on WoS. Only ever used it for zaps. Sorry I can’t help you out there.

The cost of learning….😅

Nailed it.
