Their incentive is to not get murdered by an angry mob. More people are waking up to how fake money and politics are. Whoever is in office when the charade falls apart is going to have a bad day

Name one truly good comedy movie made after 2008.

Unless the collective can solve via barter the coincidence of wants for the recipient through a complicated set of trades.

#Bitcoin can only save someone's ass when they are in Bitcoin friendly zone only either physically/virtually.

You want adoption or care about takedowns? Have a download option if a single point of failure is scary

It’s such a well designed system. Unbelievable how brilliant an engineering solution Bitcoin really is.

What is the ideal flow for buying on a decentralized exchange?

Ideally...

1. I visit a website. I don't need to download anything.

2. I click BUY or SELL

3. I see some options who to buy from and their asking prices

4. I have a clear understanding of how this thing works. Don't just tell me the payment method, but how that transaction looks like after I hit buy.

5. Sort by payment method

6. Guide me through the transaction or better yet, facilitate it automatically.

What does the dream flow look like?

1. Click buy. You are automatically offered the best deal with your preferred payment method (maybe you specified it earlier).

2. You are provided super simple step by step instructions to finish transaction.

Similar for sell side.

The issue I see with decentralized exchanges:

1. Have to download something

2. The whole thing looks way too complex

3. Not clear how it works

Compare to centralized exchange:

1. Click buy. Done.

See the difference?

I think if we are to improve the UX, we have to think grandma level and start from scratch. No trying to improve a complex trading platform, but really think from the basics. What will grandma need to know or click on and how will she feel about it?

You make it work for grandma. You make it work for everyone.

The issue I see with Bisq (I couldn't install it, got corrupt file) is that it looks like a literal stock trading platform. NOT for an average person. I'd say you have to strip it down to 10% basics to make it work for the average person, provided you do everything else well.

Let's all also ignore the fact that most of the people are shitty when it comes to passive-aggressiveness.

for years I've been mistreated and ridiculed by some on the basis of "you don't use your _real name_"

now "they fight you" stage is in and these same people are posting "hOw dO we protect DEVS in FOSS?!"

pathetic

Is MEV wire fraud now?

Or is it counter-MEV that's wire fraud?

What the hell is wire fraud other than a catch-all charge for doing something the authorities dislike via the internet?

So set up a new count then? Not sure anyone's going to be too bothered about $2 in sats now but don't want an issue 5-10 years from now down to ignorance.

It's ridiculous, I verified 2 debit cards, email, phone number, and pin and still says it can't verify me, then says create a new account to contact support, like what?!?

Since your online identity is valuable and tied to your nsec and given the fact that many clients have potential access to them, it is almost guaranteed that your nsec will be leaked at some point.

Hardware signing devices are too cumbersome though so we need some mechanism to switch to a new nsec when the old one gets eventually compromised.

Are there already solutions being worked on that I am not aware of?

JUST IN: Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma signs HB3594 into law.

This historic step makes Oklahoma the first state to formally recognize and protect the rights of its citizens to run a node, mine, and self-custody #Bitcoin

Damn, back to square one then. Still no "one-tap-zap" with #cashu .me via NWC.

DAMN!!!

I'm trying to find a trustworthy QR code generator that I can install on another device, and scan from there.
