Pubco management must be oblivious to the lavabit castle they've built.

Browser extensions handling private keys is not a viable path. MAJOR friction and risk.

One of the biggest short comes of nostr design is the privacy trades offs. Specially because clients dont offer ways to treat nsecs as disposable artifacts. Or at least create BIP85 style derived nsecs from a master nsec. The way we are using and designing it, it's a gift to the big brother :/

We need a standard for backup/migration of user space of wallets, specially those with multiple wallets/keys Like COLDCARD Teleport Make it super easy and secure for users to migrate all their stuff, keys, descriptors/paths, labels, etc... between wallet vendors Specially on phone apps!

Migration between vendors w/out need to sweep is one of the most important bitcoin wallet features Too many vendors closing this door, freedom money requires freedom f/ lock-in "Scammed Grandma" for her seed is a straw man, she would have swept the funds to the bad guys too I keep bumping into this issues with many users, this is not some theoretical thing. Vendors go away, we end up with the mess and ppl stuck. Seed lock in is the new walletsrecovery.org derivation knightmare all over again. Call out terrible design decisions driven by pubco lockin tendencies and anti-patern app-devs is not anti-compeitive, its how we got to 100x better setups than Blockchain .info so far. experiment with new things, that's amazing, don't lock in users, thats evil.
