Let's be honest: that name was always a bad omen.
I would love to have overheard the naming conversation:
"How about cypher wallet?"
"No, sounds too nerdy."
"What about fortress wallet?"
"Too medieval"
"Laser wallet?"
"Too scary."
"Veritas?"
"Too Latin. That doesn't even make sense."
"Haven't you ever heard of don't trust, verify?"
"Yes! Trust wallet! That's excellent!"
Shitcoin wallet. Only idiots use it.
For me it was always a bit uncomfortable to use browser based wallets. Especially when I need them few times a year when somebody for some reason would reject to pay in BTC. Meanwhile connecting browser wallet and hardware wallet is just very bad in terms of UX. This is why I find using LNURL-Auth very convenient and this is why we have developed vault.satsbridge.com.
'Marked Safe' from this
From day one I thought that had to be the single worst name for a Bitcoin wallet.
Remember people, don't trust, verify.
Sad to see
