Thank you. I think they did a good job addressing one issue: how to buy P2P Bitcoin and onboard newcomers who can't post collateral. However, if you already have Bitcoin, Robosats' security model is superior imo.
Sorry I haven't used that feature and can't comment. But maybe this blog post answers your question https://www.bullbitcoin.com/blog/send-bank-transfers-using-bitcoin
Adding Web Bookmarks is working now. 👀 But still no import option afaik.
As mentioned, I think you're right that the simple approach is totally fine for occasional use. The electrs setup would mainly be for those who want to increase their security, as it hides their balance from a potentially hacked main computer. It addresses a specific risk and is not something that everyone or even most people require.
Thank you for your comment, and I think it's a valid one. The setup addresses an issue described in the Sparrow Best Practices, where different considerations come into play depending on the size of stash. For beginners like you described, it's perfectly fine to run solely a Bitcoin node. To improve this setup, especially if you are storing larger amounts, it is recommended to set up electrs to address the following:
Unfortunately, Bitcoin Core stores your public keys and balance unencrypted on the computer it is running on. If this computer is regularly connected to the internet, it is at risk to hackers...If this is a concern to you, consider running an Electrum server, which does not keep any record of your balance, but indexes all Bitcoin transactions equally
So you're right, this setup with electrs is probably not required for beginners. However, if you are storing a significant amount of wealth, it is perhaps worth considering.
Same here. I'm curious to see how this project evolves. Looking at the different icons, I would assume that more formats will be supported. Let's see!
I tried Boris today. Unfortunately, it seems that just nostr content is supported yet, or I just haven't figured out how to import other writings, such as links from Stacker News. Have you tried using it yet?
Yes, except for the euro, dollar, and pound, liquidity also seems pretty rare. Good luck finding suitable offers when you try it out!
