Every time I hear that Kanye line on spaceship,
“Lock yourself in a room doing five beats a day for three summers…I deserve to do these numbers.”
I get so inspired. Passion is an incredible thing.
If I wasn’t working on ecash, I’d be working on making seed phrases obsolete. They’re the worst possible UX imaginable.
"Hey, we have the best engineered money in human history…but before you can use it, you have to grab a piece of paper and write down 12 random words. BTW if anyone ever finds this paper, they can steal your money forever."
Deeply unserious UX.
I think seed phrases are the best solution we have right now. But it’s naive and short sighted to think they’ll remain the standard for self custody / backup, or that we can’t design something 10x better and just as secure.
