Why isn't there a mass market bitcoin miner-hot water heater?

A super boomer Bitcoin wallet that lets you make little virtual coins or bills with your UTXOs and/or explains every aspect of Bitcoin through extensive metaphor visually.

Why isn't it made yet? I don't have time to do it unfortunately.

A self-hosted ecommerce store that accepts bitcoin to a colocated bitcoin/lightning node.

You can hack one together using a bunch of monolithic open source projects and kludgy plugins. Something better should exist.

As described in my linked post, I don't care to offload data storage to other people's servers and that's the main thing, almost the only thing, that superstore does.

Thanks, yes we've been exploring few options. If things work well, we should be able to rollout non-custodial version of Predyx in Q1 2026.

The bitcoin inheritance tool. If Alice is alive her BTC stays with her. If Alice dies, her BTC goes to Bob.

Obviously, there must be an "I'm still alive" trigger in there somewhere: Alice triggers she's alive, BTC stays with her. Alice fails to trigger it (because she's dead), BTC goes to Bob.

This idea sounds like Liana wallet. The "trigger" is reset by spending your coins on chain.

whole term life insurance product which sprinkles bitcoin into the scheme

reply

Life insurance is simply enabling more fiat debt.

reply

sure. i am not advocating for the product if you thought i was.

reply

Fair enough although I would suggest that Bitcoin makes life insurance (and many other fiat derivatives) increasingly irrelevant.

reply

Someday, perhaps.

Bitcoin can be used to express all risk that insurance markets cover. If you have enough and hold it for long enough and live a cashflow positive life. But very few people can get there.

reply

Yes we are still mostly trapped within the fiat debt monetary cycle and paradigm and only slowly as more people can escape via Bitcoin a transition might result.

A grindr like app to find a compatible utxo. You can also swipe left or right.
