wow that's cool. Seems like you like to live at the forefront of new tech
all are welcome to twetch ;)
this is just the start metastore.app
ok going to give you an idea I wanted to keep for myself but yolo
make a page for your service, put it in your twetch profile
users input twetch link + configure it with an interface & it generates a twetch link to click to post exactly the right twetch
making another wallet would not fix this, there are certainly things I would want to see done differently in a wallet, but the main issue in BSV right now is the need for "meta-wallets" to handle onchain ID & signing complex transactions from all wallets
Your app would still be accessible but the reach would be lower
It's not so much about the apps being displayed, but about apps being usable with any wallet & wallets focusing on serving (& earning from) their users, to keep good incentives
haha sure, I have my doubts on this too, I don't doubt that handicap strategies are used in nature, but that they can be transferred in that way to value content leaves me dubitative. But it can certainly play a role in preventing spam to some extent
you can build trust by investing in others too
and value is subjective, so what has value for me might have 0 or even negative value for you
yet some aspects of value are shared among the vast majority, so I guess it can at least work for those
typo: *that should be handled on another wallet independant layer
more specifically there is 3 things that wallets have started to handle that should be handle another wallet independant layer:
- identity
- data encryption & decryption
- signing other complex transactions
is that why wallets focus on API today ? to sell pricing plans for their API? but that means users of a bitcoin wallet are not their clients, but devs are
that's the kind of old models I want to avoid, like twitter's real clients being advertisers
focus should be on user experience: receive, store & send bitcoin
how to backup keys without having to write words on paper, without the wallet handling even 1% of the key or signing for the user
easy solution, yet wallets still don't solve this
like it or not, I am 100% convinced that the economic model for a bitcoin wallet should be to take fees from use
today wallets focus on having the best API for devs, but other layers can do that
truth is, user experience of wallets is still mediocre
that's great to hear !
This could be read as an attack on current wallets but it couldn't be further from that and I hope you and others read it in a positive way, especially as wallets are best positioned to lead on this vision
let's build it
imagine if every whitepaper had to include:
"Satoshi Nakamoto, pseudonym of Craig S. Wright"
and
"This paper and the name Bitcoin refer to BitcoinSV (BSV) only"
What is needed is a non custodial and open protocol that will work with any wallet to act as a bridge for paying for complex transactions, for allowing users to own their identity, and for paying with bitcoin on all the apps of the ecosystem
We are recreating silos where each wallet will have its own appstore curated by the wallet
So apps that bring more revenue to the wallet will sort higher, not the ones that most benefit the users, because users are stuck in a network effect prison
This will then reinforce the pre-existing separation by making sure users in china and in the west don't use the same apps
Bitcoin should be a bridge, and not reinforce information walls.
In BSV we have started moving in a direction where we replace facebook and big tech data silos with wallet app silos
In both cases it's made possible by what I call the network effect prison.
We need to correct course fast before it's too hard.
can really see a future where wallets handling your money are a separate service from dealing with your identity and signing data transactions
still a few UX optimizations needed to make the experience flawless but paypresto.co is the real deal here
