This site is where I learned about the elegant ’login with lightning’ process, which I use Phoenix for. It got me to thinking, if my wallet seed is now also my only way to access my stacker.news account, imagine how much more it could do.
We’re already going to medieval lengths to weld our seed phrases onto titanium plates to preserve them, so why not lean on those phrases for a little more?
I’m talking about using my wallet for: encrypting files on the fly, generating PGP keys for encrypted email, accessing encrypted volumes, login for encrypted messenger, etc, etc.
I know it kind of goes against the UNIX philosophy to try and make a wallet into a Swiss Army knife of crypto tools, but considering how much effort goes into protecting and preserving our seed phrases, it only makes sense to get more use out of that backed up entropy.
