you might say:
"but start9 and umbrel simplifies this a lot".
but the thing is, it still wants you to buy a hardware.
yes you can just install it in a container on your pc.
but which normie understands containers?
let's say they have it installed, or got the hardware:
- now you still have to wait for chain to be downloaded.
- worry about tunnels and etc.
- it still takes a lot of space that can be optimized away.
it would be simpler to have an singular monolith app that has everything inside, and optimized for everything it can do.
you can easily connect it to complimentary mobile apps over tor onion addresses via a simple qr code. you dont even have to install tor separately its built-in.
people keep holding up start9, umbrel, etc. as examples of "easy", but they are easy only for people who already passed the threshold of "i can manage a whole box dedicated to a single app."
that’s not normie. that’s enthusiast.
bitcoin shouldn’t require a lifestyle.
it should require installing an app. nostr:nevent1qqsvfd2mv4amvlpedq63m0pll0mqg3hm9y6f4sxrvsn0y4dcx4ad3psa3ze74
