not even Core uses it, yet it's responsible for more coin theft than anything.
fact, not opinion.
Could you point me in the direction of some reading material related to bip39's problems, I was genuinely unaware of it being controversial. Also might I ask what the best alternative is in your opinion?
Core's aversion to it seems to be mostly about cryptographic strength
Haven't seen any great overall write-ups
Have seen other mentions about lack of versioning, and AI's potential to brute force, which coincides with cryptographic strength.
What I find most interesting is that it is the single greatest cause of stolen coin, through social engineering and inviting lazy storage
The alternative, at least how Core does it, is have you back up the seed and encrypt it.
Whether that's better is debatable, people lost coins that way too when it was more common. Harder to social engineer, but just as if not more easy to fuck up storage.
The other alternative is AEZEED, same social engineering weakness, but more obscure which mitigates that at least for now. If it became more popular that advantage would flip.
AEZEED also has versioning and better cryptographic strength as a direct response to criticism of BIP39, so it's "better" at least incrementally, but still doesn't really address the causes of lost coin thus far.
Key management is a fundamental CS issue for which there seems to be no ideal solution, key management faces the same challenges it has since systems started using it in the 70's/80's
I've given seriously thought to this and everything I think up comes back to moving trade-offs around. Better brainwallet tooling (and split brainwallet tooling for inheritance) may be the lowest hanging fruit and probably warrants some additional effort.
eCash will have Vaults ...so...
I bet, I know shitcoiners love crypto-theater features
Having your funds forward only to a back up multisig address
and/or timelock sent to that adress after a certain period if you lose your main seed
is theater...
people here seem to respect your opinion as a dev for some reason, and its a sign of how dumb bitcoin development has become i believe
Yea, normies will just make 2 seeds when they can't even properly handle 1 seed.
people here seem to respect your opinion
Because I just call balls and strikes, and don't feed into the loop of virtue signaling nerd sniping inanities you crypto script kiddies shit up the space with every week pretending you solved something
how dumb bitcoin development
ok shitcoiner
Thanks, thats helpfull. Any additional opinions on trezor's SLIP 39?
Might have some use cases, probably better than multisig in mosts contexts
Haven't pondered it much though
for all we know, no one in core uses or is paid in bitcoin
No argument there.
i'm calling it now, you are a troll
