Oddbean new post about login | logout Basically all freedom tech hinges on if we can get users to hold keys.
💯 Responsibility is needed.
Does your freedom depend on others?
In some ways, yes. Privacy works by hiding in the crowd. The larger the crowd the better
so same struggle since school locker combination locks then. except no janitor to come cut the lock off for you
I wonder if there exists some solution based on biometric key derivation which would turn the "hodl your own keys" requirement into a "be your own keys" situation.
no doubt robbers would resort to cutting off victim's biometric appendages to get at the funds. can't cash out at the eye scanner without at least one of the eyballs ...
Yup. We can't get them to hold their own passwords though and plenty argue users handling their own passwords is often less secure than a custodial password solution. At least you can often change a password. IDK the answer for normies yet, for now I think self-hosted is the answer which is why Im slowly working on noscrypt and NVault.
