It should be fixed now.
I still have to dig deeper into how this works, but my question is - is it easy to add additional keys later on?
I like how Trezor does this - you start with a single key and then later you can use the same key to expand into multi-share.

What you highlight is sort of mitigated by the scheme, but the bigger issue with this is #872555 . The roulette could be easily very unfair and the current hashing scheme doesn't prove otherwise.
What I always wished for is a different scheme or maybe a protocol:
- in my wallet I provide inheritance_address_A for my next of kin, inheritance_address_B for another person and then inheritance_address_SERVICE as a last resort
- if I don't check/use the wallet for 5 years, then all coins get automatically sent to inheritance_address_A of my next of kin
- if the next of kin doesn't check/use the wallet for 5 years, then the coins get sent to inheritance_address_B
- if the inheritance_address_B doesn't check/use wallet it is sent to inheritance_address_SERVICE
- this somehow contacts the public SERVICE (that I preselected) and that handles my estate and inheritance.
Ideally I'd be able to predefine this whole scheme ahead of time and every time I send/receive coins in my wallet it would always do this by default. It would be great if the receivers A and B don't know ahead of time how much bitcoin they will get and it would be great if the SERVICE can only unlock my "will" details at the point when they receive the coins in the end. It would be great if I can set up this scheme for anyone in my family and the wallets sort of default to this (i.e. when creating the wallet, every wallet should ask you about what's the backup address).
There could be a market of services (like SERVICE) that provide these inheritance capabilities, maybe I could send encrypted "will" to this service and they can only unlock it when they receive the coins 10 years from now - and then it would be great if the scheme verifies that the SERVICE is not stealing the money (some form of ZK proof maybe).
Overall I believe that this should be the default for all wallets - so no coins are ever lost again. In the worst case scenario / last point they get donated to some charity of your choice or marked as "anyone can spend" and they go to miners.
There was a leaderboard? I never noticed that... I know about this https://stacker.news/top/stackers/week
I have two
In CS:Source the 3 best players at our LAN party were playing as Ts defending the position in cs_assault and we had like 8 CTs trying to win.
It took us 6 hours before we managed to win for the first time. The map is so crazy unbalanced that we had to try so many different tricks, like hiding and sneaking in the shadows, timing our actions very precisely, entering at the same time, smokes, etc. So many strategies failed, until one actually worked. I still remember that feeling.
With my good friend we played (emulated) Doom II in a co-op sitting next to each other on a couch with laptops on our laps while drinking White Russians. Over the course of 2 days we finished the game. So many deaths!!! It was one of those times when if you looked away, the wall was shivering... I actually cooked Macbook Air on this. Some sensors melted around the CPU and it wouldn't be able to manage temp properly anymore.
We played this! And it's good! It works well even if one of the two is not really a game player... :)
Nice!
Probably related to the personalization topic, but I think a big unexplored space in the homepage specifically is making it work well for people that are outside of bitcoin bubble. I see that as one of the biggest opportunities.
If you make the homepage work well for a person X that has following properties when they open SN for the first time, then that would be amazing!
Person X hates hearing about bitcoin, they don't want to see any news about bitcoin, they don't care about any of the technical details behind bitcoin. On the other hand person X is interested in multiple topics (e.g. privacy, open source development, game development, startups, new technology, new scientific breakthroughs...) and this person wouldn't mind getting sats as tokens of appreciation and zapping sats to others when they interact on these topics. They hate bitcoin, they don't have strong opinion about sats. "Oh these sats can be used on other websites too? That's cool I guess"...
I think we know where this would go, so you would also need to add a toggle to start showing bitcoin info for person X at some point 😉
(just couple of my thoughts, feel free to ignore...)
I slept on the floor at school overnight (no mat, just rough carpet). I slept at a random bus stop bench in Thailand. I slept at many airports. One time I was in Kowloon, Hong Kong trying to sleep on the floor in a small apartment and I noticed a hole on the bottom of the wall - when I saw a rat peek in, I decided to not sleep on the floor there anymore :)
