Oddbean new post about login | logout I’ve read it through twice now. Why was there no mention prior to this that drastic changes were being considered if you’ve been considering this for months? Why is the wallet still available for new users on your website? What happens to existing Mutiny+ subscribers? Are they given refunds? Why should anyone use any new “dream wallet” that Mutiny creates after this? What does this say to people donating or considering donating to other wallet devs? You’re dealing with people’s money and their use of their money in an industry where reputation is everything, and right now Mutiny has lost its reputation in my mind. Take that for what it’s worth, which maybe is nothing. I’m just a dude on the internet. I wish you and the Mutiny team success, but this is a huge disappointment.
Mutiny+ I always looked at as a donation for helping build out the wallet. I can confirm I haven't been charged the past two months either. I guess that was a sign of things to come. Its been a rough year for wallets and devs. Sorry to hear you got burnt out. Giving everyone until the end of the year to migrate off or self host I think is plenty of time as well. Honestly there is no perfect way to do this. I get people wanting transparency and being dissapointed but you also got to see it from the devs side. Its not that easy. Best wishes for the your future endeavors. I hope the Bitcoin sparks come back for you one day. I am seeing more people losing the passion for Bitcoin since its becoming more about the fiat number going up instead of the freedom roots it all started from. More people working on number go up friendly regulation instead of the shit that matters like the Samurai case. With no privacy there is no freedom. I hope the tide shifts back in the upcoming years maybe during the next bear market.
I hope the tide shifts back to one where privacy is valued too. At least with open source software the tools are out there for when people, and hopefully businesses, want to use them.
You are welcome but you got the harder job so thanks for all the work you have done. You guys did build something pretty great. I also got a feeling the best is yet to come for you as well. I'm sure this whole thing is an emotional rollercoaster especially dealing with the comments. Some of it will be good feedback that should be listened to but others are just going assholes so do your best to not let those affect you. Best wishes.
