Not looking good

It's fully custodial at the moment. The synthetic stablecoins are only possible with a custodial model, but we'd like to offer non-custodial BTC in the near future.

No KYC for now!

Yep, we're experimenting a lot with Nostr right now.

For example, this feature where you get a Nostr DM every time a deposit is made to your Kollider Wallet:

Mobile on the roadmap for 2023!

just went to post this! @kr you're quick!

Thanks for sharing.

Agreed. By far the best podcast in the ecosystem. Keep up the great work @kr!

This isn't currently on our roadmap, but is definitely something we could do in theory. If enough users request it, we'd add it to the roadmap.

👏

Thanks for pointing this out. We should probably do a better job of having a more specific public stance on these things. We take security and safety extremely seriously. Kollider Pay is in a very early beta version and we've been sure to communicate that and limit deposits for that reason. We've encouraged users to try to find bugs in the platform and we won't do a full release of the product until we feel extremely confident in its security.

We're definitely looking into Taro very closely. We've been playing around with the first release and will definitely continue to use it as it matures and develops. From there we'll see how Taro fits into our platform, but it is still very early.

I'm glad you think we're cherished on Twitter! We just recently started getting more active there-- just trying to share interesting info on Lightning Network and our work.

We covered that in depth here:

I don't read a ton of scifi but I enjoyed Snowcrash.

Definitely. We hope more and more wallets integrate with our stablecoins. More info here if you're interested.

We're also currently working with Galoy to integrate Kollider into Stablesats.

Thanks! I'll check out the update!

If I remember correctly, you had a thesis about LN returns giving some kind of base rate for BTC?

Does the current reality of LN match your expectations there? It seems like different node operators have very different rates of return. Has your thesis changed at all?

What are your thoughts on Taro? Any idea how it will impact Deezy Node?

This is awesome. Great work man.

I think a bit part of the future of LN is onboarding users directly who earn their first sats rather than purchase them.
