Well I do care
1. About the people around me
2. When people start conflating these scams to mean Bitcoin is a scam
3. When people want to activate a soft fork (BIP 300 for example) to perpetuate these scams further
You're right in that caring about everyone is too much to handle, but the risk is further reaching than you portrayed, yes even if it were entirely client side, I would notice a changing culture.
I'm still gonna care because don't scam people and shitcoin, but that aside lol
#[2] Who has interesting profile?
Uh I use nostros and Amethyst sometimes...
Also, stacker.news
But don't like to use anything that has data collection and data analytics you know? So that is why I don't use most platforms that most people use lol.
My thoughts on the data vending machine protocol
Read the protocol. Looks not great incentive wise/business best practices wise.
The user tips after the work is done, but why not take the work and not bother with the tip?
On the other hand, if it wasn't like this, what could users do about scammers taking the money with terrible output.
In business, the norm is to find businesses with a reputation, and pay them whether they do a good job or not. If the business does a bad job, that affects their reputation, and they then have a harder time getting business.
This protocol suggests to reverse the roles. That providers should only take jobs from customers with a good reputation. However, there are significantly more customers than providers and it is much more difficult to scale this reputation system as a result.
(Its also important to note that I derived what I expect to happen in this protocol and not merely what the protocol explicitly states)

Well "its too hard" isn't helpful feedback. Its pretty easy for me.
Liana made a cool thing where they expect your backup to be other devices rather than a seed phrase

Quite frankly the seed phrase model itself is brain dead easy.

Made the lightning network braindead easy.
And in case I didn't link it before, I did actually write an article about how Facebook wasn't adopted by the elderly due to being made any easier, it was just because they wanted to talk to their kids
Okay yeah you're going to have to be looking at the younger generation to get the ball rolling.
The older generation is like a donkey. Very stubborn and doesn't like to be lead around.
The younger generation has a natural curiosity to figure out new things as well as a natural tendency for better or for worse to spite the older generation lmao.
Lots of people say for example "wow this 12 year old built their own computer!", but I think they're only surprised because they underestimate the younger generation. They underestimate the power of neural plasticity over established wisdom lol.
I put a lot of information on how to do things to right way in that article. You should definitely read it.

E-cash is a solution that makes sense for that, if privacy is part of the objective anyway
My most controversial Bitcoin opinion is that Bitcoin has fail conditions and the normalization of custodians is one of them.
Don't you just post the link to the image in your note?
So if you had it inside of your app, it would just get the link after upload and post that link after your message in the note.
I believe that's what nostros does
Well we know so much about Neanderthal because they lived in colder climates where the DNA froze and was preserved that way.
To quote from an answer from the Bitcoin stack exchange:
"First of all not all 132 bits are random. Seed uses some kind of control sum.
Lets talk about 128 bits of entropy.
Lets imaging the following attack:
We will take one billion (10^9) of the most powerful mining hardware in 2017 (13 TH/s each). We will make a 1000 years brute force attack to compromise any of existing billion (10^9) of wallets with coins inside.
This attack will check the following number of seed combinations:
10^9 * (13 * 10^12) * (1000 * 365 * 24 * 3600) = ~ 10^33 combinations checked
128 bits of entropy equals ~ 10^38 total combinations
It means the given attack has the following chance of breaking one of more of 10^9 wallets:
1/10^5 = 0.001%
P.S. Don't forget it is an extra complicated task to find out if this or that seed contains any money. Hash mining hardware has much more simple task. We don't have hardware to check seeds at the same rate as modern ASICs."
