Why do nerds always do this; overcomplicate everything?

Generating public/private key pairs isn't simple, but it's pretty common by now. I do it every time I set up #git on a new computer. I do it when I use #PGP. I do it when I #ssh

Nerds were like; "I know let's encode the private key in a series of words so people can memorize them" and now you've got two private keys!

#Bitcoin was already kinda complicated, and now #wallets are 100x more complicated!!!

#crypto #cryptocurrency #btc

After further research I've learned that #seedphrases contain some redundancy so that a user can get a few letters wrong and still use the phrase.

Also, a single #seedphrase can code for multiple private keys so you can have multiple addresses with one SP.

However, seedphrases generated by some wallets won't be compatible with other ones.

There's a standard called #BIP39 and some common word lists that wallets can adhere to for compatibility.

#bitcoin #btc #crypto #cryptocurrency

Okay, so I'm finally spooked enough to move my #bitcoin off #coinbase

I bought a metal plate, and stamps.

I want to create a #coldwallet on a burner computer, write down the seedphrase, move my #crypto to it, and then delete it.

All I need to do is decide which #wallet software to use.

I want it to be available on #Windows/#Linux/#Mac/#iOS/#Android/etc.

I want it to be available to download in 10-30 years from now.

Which one should I choose?

What if we made a #cryptocurrency exchange, but instead of a blockchain we made the transactions reversible to combat fraud, and instead of only being able to process 3-7 transactions per second globally we can do as many as we want, and instead of being an unregulated free-for-all where people lose their life savings overnight we get it FDIC insured, and instead of using make-believe internet money we use real money that people can spend on real things?

We'll call it a "bank". I think it might work!

I bought mini coins, like penny stocks but without… you know… reality. I watched, and participated, in early 2021 and slowly bought $408 worth of all sorts of “coins” with all sorts of weird names. I swapped and converted and traded as various coins went up and down. At one point my little account was valued at nearly $700 #cryptoCurrency #scam #notreal

The annoying and telling thing about a bunch of these #cryptocurrency and #Web3 projects I find is when I actually talk to the devs so many blatantly do not understand infrastructure beyond code. So many projects claim to be decentralized but are maybe mostly in one AWS region like Ethereum staking nodes right now. Many devs use the buzzword of decentralization but don’t understand what it actually means. So far #Monero and #PIVX have the better idea among others though for decentralization

The main function of a #bank is to perform maturity transformation between creditors and debitors. And that they handle some of the risks coming with it (and often make a profit from handling that risk, unless they don't). Some of that risk can be offloaded, but only if they follow certain rules.

In a #cryptocurrency, someone or something needs to perform this function as well. However, nobody wants to take the risk or submit to the rules for offloading that risk. ⚡
https://blog.dshr.org/2023/05/fractional-reserve-crypto-banking.html

Leviine tells the story much better than I did:

    People in crypto did not trust the banks, in part for the good reason that the banks were doing something (maturity transformation) that is both risky and in some deep sense deceptive. But people in crypto did want the benefits of maturity transformation: People with crypto wanted to park it somewhere safe, earn interest and have access to it whenever they wanted; other people wanted to borrow crypto without the risk of having to give it back early. Crypto shadow banks — Celsius, Voyager, BlockFi, Genesis, Gemini Earn, FTX — sprung up to offer that service, to borrow short and lend long. Free of most regulation, they could offer the service efficiently, market it aggressively, and lose tons of their customers’ money.
Levine summarizes the situation:

    If your concern is that crypto shadow banks are becoming more interconnected with the real economy, and that therefore future runs on those shadow banks might be more destructive, there are two ways to go:

        Protect crypto shadow banks from runs, with deposit insurance and regulation; or
        Protect the real economy from crypto shadow banks, by making it really hard for the traditional financial system to connect with crypto firms.

    US regulators seem to be choosing Option 2, which … seems … right … to me?

Recipe for getting rich quick yourself (not necessarily in that order):
1️⃣ Tell everyone *they* can #GetRichQuick; safely, easily
2️⃣ Sell someone else's products without reimbursing them
3️⃣ Freely intermingle customer money with yours, making it easy to spend theirs as well
4️⃣ Randomly move finances around between as many companies as possible
5️⃣ Operate in shady legal zones (but have the audacity to tell regulators to regulate)
6️⃣ Be ruthless
