Our stated mission is to look into Bitcoin Wallets and with bearer tokens like the [Opendime](https://walletscrutiny.com/bearer/opendime/) we already ventured into products that clearly are not wallets but they are meant to keep your private keys safe, so users want to know: Do they really keep you safe from loss?

Now we came across products that are marketed as "crypto vaults" but they are more akin to [password managers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_manager) like LastPass - a general store of important data. By being marketed to keep your important data safe, they clear are being used for Bitcoin, too. The crypto-themed one we are looking at right now has 100k installs on Google Play.

Should we look into those or is that mission creep?

Keeping up with new wallets and updates is intensive…

I think it’s good but never tried it for reasons; uses bitcoin core wallet, and Java… Do you run it or have any opinion about it?

Anyone know what are these?

I think it’s about double but the the systemic risk is significantly larger

I am now confusing NIPs for BIPS

How is the world doing today?

Bailouts get costly over time. What was once possible may never be.

I am skeptical of polls by zaps and think it counters nostr ethos. I think clients will add that at some point and possibly revert changes afterwards…
