54 sats \ 6 replies \ @ek 5 Jan \ on: What have ya'll learned since SN non-custodial transition? meta
I have learned that SN will survive for at least a few more years
We have ~10 years of runway right now (and ~90% of our equity left to sell after that), but even if I wouldn't be able to employ people anymore, I run my projects as long as people are using them and in some cases out of pocket: gitern, grepmed ... so SN will survive as long as I do even if the company doesn't get its shit together.

Not counting the last couple weeks or so, on a scale of 1-10, how much are you enjoying working on SN?
reply
A lot at points and a lot less at others. On average, it was a 6 when it'd ordinarily be an 8-9. Most of the enjoyment was type 2.
This wallet stuff was really hard/tricky to get to just this early waypoint. It also provides mostly negative value to customers (submitting to evidence all the Steven Seagal quality rage quits). So the payoff has been low from where I usually get it.
On the other hand, we've transmuted legal problems into technical ones which is fucking fuckity fucking awesome. There's a special relief/satisfaction in it; every other similar company has resorted to KYCing people ("just" giving them your email is the tip of the surveillance iceberg you're consigned into).
Regardless of the attrition this change causes, I expect a banner year.

You guys are doing great work. I don't understand the complainers. If you aren't willing to use a lightning wallet and just keep all your sats on SN, then who cares whether it's a sat or a CC anyway. It's like there's just some magical attachment to the word "sat".
I'm actually with Darthcoin (on CCs being fine, not on his views that this is a capitulation). It doesn't make that much sense to utilize lightning for sending zaps back and forth anyway. Credit accounts exist for a reason, like tabs at a bar. It's totally fine for small and rapidly turning over amounts. What always mattered was the option to go P2P, but it's far from necessary or optimal for every single micropayment.
