I posted warnings lots of times to new people when the bull market was on in 2021 - especially when people were asking "Why does anyone even invest in BTC?" https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/pcjpft/why_do_people_still_buy_btc/hajum1g/ A lot of new people to the crypto space really haven't experienced a rugpull yet. In almost every single project investors are eventually left bagholders whether it is a pure money grab or because tokenomics puts the vast majority of the supply in the hands founders and insiders. The Bitcoin is outdated and we have a better technology narrative has been used to lure investors and in the vast majority of cases, investors have been losing their money since 2013 when better than Bitcoin projects came to the scene. There are some really interesting projects with technical merits but looking at how the supply was distributed with the founders, developers, insiders, now VCs and/or "the foundation" keeping the majority of the supply to themselves while the price pumps with limited supply released to the public, I don't see how things are going to be any different from 2013 and 2017. 2013 - https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20131231/ NXT -First coin that was 100% Proof of Stake - 1.5 minutes block times - Java - DEX - Messaging - Assets in the blockchain - Programmable APIs NameCoin - Decentralized DNS - One of the first to have support for NFTs PrimeCoin - Vitalik referred to PrimeCon developer Sunny King as the "the single most original altcoin developer" and if PrimeCoin and Bitcoin were released in 2008, PrimeCoin would have won https://talk.peercoin.net/t/transcript-of-sunny-king-interview-with-vitalik-buterin-from-bitcoinmagazine/463 PeerCoin - First Proof of Stake coin 2017 - https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20171231/ Some of the narratives that were sold in 2017 included: - XRP is the Standard. Banks are about to adopt XRP as the settlement and interoperability layer for the internet of value. - Stratis (this was once the #8 on marketcap) is the future of Blockchain tech, smart contracts written in C#. Devs are going to flock to the platform - IOTA (was once #4 on marketcap) is going to be the backbone for the "machine to machine (M2M) economy, the underlying protocol for the internet of things - NEO (once staple top 10) is going to bring the smart economy to China by by smart contracts and digigtal assets. The potential is just huge in China. - SIA and Golem are going to revolutionize tech creating a paradigm shift in storage and computing - ICON is the Korean Ethereum because they partnered with a ton of Korean banks, hospitals, universities. This will be huge in Korea because Koreans support their own projects and this will hyperconnect the world. - REQuest Network is the most important financial project to crypto. This is the paypal of crypto. - Raiblocks (Nano) is fast and feeless and will kill every inefficient blockchain currency

It's because we already had digital property. It's called DNS. Why not just create a decentralized metaverse with some standardized stuff and a VR equivalent to html? You want land, you run a server with DNS directed at it for connections Could also benefit by acknowledging the hype around the metaverse is based entirely around things we can't do in real life.

A bit like when websites started using DNS for simpler domain names rather than requiring someone to remember IP addresses for sites. It’s comical to think that’s how it used to work way back when. I think crypto will keep getting simpler and more foolproof in the same way.

It's going to be Bitcoin denominated with or without BRC20 tokens and Inscriptions... Might as well just limit on chain transactions to MONETARY BITCOIN ONLY, just as Satoshi intended (See DNS usage on Bitcoin being rejected to NameCoin).

r/CryptoCurrencySee Comment

Satoshi and everyone who is attempting to replace the Central Banking system. He was against Bitcoin being used as a DNS server for this very reason, which is even relatively lightweight, unlike file storage. And it's not censorship to limit a monetary network to monetary transactions. Other layers are specifically designed for non-monetary purposes, like RGB for example.

Incorrect. He would have done exactly what he suggested with other non-financial transactions (like DNS & NameCoin), which is to put that shit on its own chain. But it doesn't have anything to do with MONETARY TRANSACTIONS, therefore it's needs to be segregated. Ethereum fucked up by trying to put everything on one layer. Bitcoin's layered approach is a blessing, but now it's being extorted and ruining the goal of layers. Layers simply can't function well with all this non-financial Txs clogging the network.

I was using modems and dialing into BBS's in the 80s. I went through that whole transition from multi-line BBS's to the internet proper. I had a buddy from the BBS who worked at the local university and set me up with a dial up account. That's when I first started getting access. I had to write the IP addresses for servers down on sheets of paper in order to get anywhere because DNS wasnt even a thing. Things started getting much easier to use around 1992. Clients had GUI's and once complicated processes were all happening under the hood. The point I'm trying to make is a lot of this shit was klugey and difficult to use and the using protocols by themselves were complicated until you started bringing them all together to deliver tangible services in a way that was transparent to the end user.

To anyone wondering why he says this. There's an attack vector called a rogue access point (rogue AP) using a device like a "WiFi Pineapple", where someone sitting in a Starbucks could intercept your traffic by spinning up a fake SSID. Since DNS traffic is usually unencrypted by default a malicious actor could spoof a DNS entry and point your browser to a replica exchange website to phish your credentials. A VPN ensures your entire connection is end-to-end encrypted and can't be modified in transit.

Apple makes a lot of decisions to make the experience consistent, and prevent degradation from hardware or software from impacting peoples perception of the quality. Usually people complain about price, but those are only the people that are trying to buy a $200 laptop. Their baseline is more expensive, yes, but once you get there most of the competition is comparable (it’s not the 2x people claim). Now, soldered components and gouging on specific upgrades, such as NVMe storage, I’m not going to defend. But, you have to take the good with the bad. Regarding your last paragraph, I really hope you’re using a Nokia still, because if you think Google is any better than Apple, you are grossly mistaken. It’s always fun to see Windows users touting how much better there android phones are when they lack the experience to know better. If you use Linux as your primary operating system, then you know a lot more about what it technically takes to make your devices more secure, which involves encrypted partitions and encrypted *boot partitions* using tools such as LUKS, and you know that unless done properly it can still be pretty trivial to circumvent. You might know a bit about root kits, man in the middle attacks, how useless TLS actually is, DNS cache poisoning, and a host of other things that everyone is susceptible to and Apple is working hard behind the scenes to keep people safe from. I’m not a security engineer, just a software engineer; but I’ve worked with several security professionals that make me feel like a baby when it comes to security. Guess what? They all use Apple devices (not 100%, most still use Linux desktop in some capacity). I’ll tell you what, I feel a lot safer having crypto wallets on iOS and pairing my ledger with my Apple devices.

They can't. The most our government could do is to minorly incovenience you by making you change your DNS provider to google's. We have 0 internet control and using VPNs to circunvent ISP tracking is far too easy these days anyway. Add to that they can't really say shit to Binance since it's not an argentinian registered business and it kinda rounds out the picture they're powerless and any regulation they post unenforceable

Did a little LN testing at work (for a website project) a couple of months ago. Instanteous payments, tiny fees and it just works. We found that Wallet of Satoshi was the most accessible and easy to use wallet for end users. Alby is also very good but there seemed to be DNS propagation with new wallets for the first 24 hours or so. That probably has probably been fixed now.

> to receive payments without having to reveal any of your private information such as a bitcoin address This is impossible. For someone to send you bitcoin, they need to have your bitcoin address. PayNym looks like its basically DNS for bitcoin addresses - you can (and must) still look up the address attached to that name. However, it can mean that if you publically publish that paynym address on say a website, as long as you destroy the paynym link on the paynym side, after that point no one can look on copies of your website and find your underlying bitcoin address anymore. Probably want to make that section more clear about that.

Unfortunately ledger doesn’t offer this on its devices. I use a gridplus lattice.

There’s understanding technicals and there’s understanding how to use things in practice. Most people probably don’t know how different internet protocols work or what DNS does. They most likely know how to use the internet proficiently though. Getting involved in an ecosystem is more about learning the application than the underlying tech

Mentions:#DNS
r/CryptoCurrencySee Comment

No. First, most people in their twenties and thirties don't know much about the Internet. They know how to swipe and tap on apps designed to capture their attention. How many 30 year olds can tell you what DNS is or why it's so important to secure it? How many 20 year olds do you know who don't understand that Wi-Fi is not "the Internet"? I suspect you know far less about the Internet than you think you do. Second, the Internet was BUILT by people who are now in their fifties, sixties and seventies. Those people not only know how the shit works, they know what design tradeoffs were made to make it work as it does now, they know where it's weak and they know how it can be made better. Third, crypto is not The Internet. Knowing how the Internet works and how to use it intelligently and safely doesn't mean knowing jack shit about elliptic curve cryptography, or key derivation, or blockchain as a data storage structure, or digital signatures for ledger operations, or multisig, or "tokenomics", or mutable contracts, or any of the dozens of other topics one should understand if one is going to opine on regulating cryptocurrencies. Fourth, regulating something requires much more than knowing how it works. It requires understanding where, how and why corruption, abuse, exploitation, oppression and censorship happen. You can try learning that from a book, but you'll be much more effective at policymaking if you've been around long enough to see it first hand. With age often comes experience, and experience matters. Fifth, screw you and your ageism.

Bluetooth and/or Wifi don’t have the range and coverage, hence Sidewalk’s use of 900 MHz FSK and LoRa. The whole point of Sidewalk is to blanket the entire US with long range, free, very low data rate (150 bits per second or so on average) coverage, competing with cell providers. I don’t know what you think Sidewalk is but it’s not Wifi. There are no DNS requests or IP addresses with Sidewalk. There is no IP protocol. Sidewalk is not the internet. Sidewalk is essentially a public LoRaWAN network, like TTN or the soon to be defunct Helium.

Just dive in with small amounts. Probably best to avoid ethereum ‘cause gas fees. Start with most popular chains and defi protocols. Defillama is a good guide for this. Ignore people here who are shilling a particular chain. Try different types of defi (exchanges, lending, etc) and do several things in them (e.g. provide liquidity) Validate URLs through a few sources (e.g. discord, defillama and Twitter) and then bookmark them. This isn’t fool proof (protocol could be subject to a DNS attack) but helps prevent basic errors. Accept that you’ll make mistakes and maybe lose money. That’s just the price of education.

More advanced tips: Use Linux or even a tool like Tails for crypto, never mix it with your general browsing Secure 2FA like TOTP or Yubikey, no SMS/email for 2FA Lockdown your router, use prosumer grade kit, pentest that sucker from the WAN. Segregated networks through vLAN for administration and crypto with firewalling. No WiFi for sensitive vLANs. Firewalls at OS level too (UFW for Linux is easy) No root login over SSH, or dispense with protocols like SSH altogether Use outbound blocking rules through something like PiHole Do your own recursive DNS, Unbound plays well with PiHole Host your own email server

I would say it's a question of *how* you present the information to your audience. Like the OP here- it starts out written kind of like a personal blog post that doesn't really give much 'usable information' to readers. It would be better if it instead started out with a thesis statement - a kind of "Here's what DNS security is, why it matters, and what you can do about it" - probably as separate paraparphs, and preferably with 'headers' over each section (probably bolded text with a different font size from the rest) so people who clicked and skimmed the thread can determine if the text in each section is relevant to them, and if it's worth a deeper read for them. It would probably make sense to include links you wanted to include under each of those headers (as relevant), because then people would know "if I'm clicking this link, I'll be getting more details about how [specific thing here] - like how to protect myself/what to pay attention to/whatever else" - as opposed to now, where the links are just kind of 'in a pile' without labels. At a glance, there's no way to tell what the information is in the first link vs. the last one without clicking, then spending time to read each one. As a general rule, people don't have time to click every single link posted to read them all to determine relevance afterwards, so unlabeled 'link piles' are unappealing to the majority of readers on Reddit. As-is, the OP's opening paragraph tells us about some issues you've had conveying info to folks, then tells the audience (sorta vaguely) that you're looking to talk about something called "DNS security"- but it doesn't tell new readers what that is, or why it's important- it just kinda skips to "here's a few links, dedicate some time to them, and hopefully you'll get what I (a random stranger you've never heard from before) want to convey." The OP is written in a way that kinda makes it feel like a private message written to a specific person who requested a list of 'further reading' links on a specific topic they'd already been discussing/following - but your auidence is a bunch of random strangers who probalby don't even look at a poster's name- just a quick check to see if a thread catches their eye before moving onto the next (of hundreds) of threads. For sure you'll find a *few* people who are ready to click random links online and dedicate time to figuring out if it's something relevant to them- but you're not going to find anywhere near as much of an audience that way. Yes- you definitely got a better response to *this* thread than the last thread, but with only 20 upvotes or so (and only about 70% of that being 'up', going), but I'd say the response could be much improved if you can find some good info/video/courses or something on writing informational essays or presenting info to an audience of strangers. >Ive tried and failed recently to talk about the benefits of DNS security in the crypto space, for some reason i triggered the guardians of the hardware wallets and all the downvote rage lol, but i will try again, here is some links i dug up and a funny video i hope you enjoy and we can have a discussion about increasing the security of our weak spots

Im glad u ask, if you goto your router or browser settings and set a custom DNS provider that supports dnssec or even better dnscrypt and dnssec then all traffic will be filtered by the blocklist of that provider and be subject to dnssec and that verifies the legitimacy of the site before sending it to your network. i use and recommend quad 9 and the instructions on the site are easy to follow for any OS or browser or router quad 9 is open source and does not keep records so they respect your privacy as well as provide the benefits discussed i take it a step further and use dnscrypt proxy v2 on a openwrt router and i combine that with a vpn or dns hijacking to prevent leaks, this is not as important as other security steps i mentioned like a hardened browser or safe browsing habits or device isolation, feel free to ask any questions

Ok, but how do we use this? Practically speaking? Every one of your posts is about the same vector of attack. But none of them are actually about DNS. I just use a mix of Google DNS and my ISP's DNS servers. Malware software can filter bad IP addresses and DNS entries. Reverse proxies can check for newly-registered domains and block them.

I feel so stupid and am upset I was the victim of a scam. I’ll start by saying I’m not a techie who knows much about crypto, but I had a little ETH and Matic that I planned on keeping for the long run, in case something good happened. I made the mistake of answering a phone call this Friday saying that they were working on improving security in my Coinbase account and that someone had tried to change my email on the account. I am so embarrassed I fell for it. I would never fall for an email or text scam, but this caught me off guard, and they sounded so professional and from a call center, and I believed it. They walked me through downloading the DNS Server App, so they could connect to my screen. Sadly, I didn’t know what it was at the time. They walked me through what I thought was adding another layer of security to my holdings. Through their step-by-step instruction, I transferred it to my Coinbase wallet which I have never understood how to use, except for one time last year, when I set it up and followed a YouTube video ok it. They showed me how the new security was working, since the transaction wouldn’t process. But then, they had me test it more… They must have had me transfer my holdings into their wallet. And who knows how much access they had to my account info with the server app. They ended up taking $1000 from my checking through PayPal and another $1000 through the wallet. The phone number that called is: 1-800-815-7056.

I'd go a step further and say that crypto needs the same thing that ip addresses and dns resolution had for Internet in general. We need eth to have DNS resolution for addresses, then I can register a name for my wallet and people can send eth to "y90210" Imagine if we didn't have dns and you were going to Google by it's ip address.

Bisq is a decentralized p2p network and the only true decentralized way to exchange Bitcoin for fiat or other coins. The Bisq network is comprised of nodes, there is no central server, there is no reliance on DNS, and every Bisq user is a node in the network. Bisq syncs the Bitcoin blockchain by connecting to Bitcoin nodes. Bisq is developed as opensource software and decisions about development are made using a DAO structure (decentralized autonomous organization).

From the experience living in an authoritarian country that was on a wild chase against cryptocurrencies and still is hellbent on other crypto such as e2e encrypted chats and VPN's, traceability of crypto is far from being a top concern. Let me explain how it went. Their tactics start with locking up all centralized exchanges and related social networks and websites. Primarily by using nation-wide DNS and IP filters. Offline establishments criminalized and raided, of course. Next step is setting up their own nodes and adding any IP they connects to into a blocklist. This has caused major outages all over before when they've blocked somewhere in the neighbourhood of 20M IP addresses in one go. After that, though never employed, they could deploy signature detection and lock up any particular app chinese firewall style. And, as a last-resort nuclear option, they can completely cut the country off from outside net. Both of those last options could've been catastrophic for crypto as it would lead to forking. VPN's and private messengers are not safe, either. In case of anonymous networks, most the traffic should be internal and with signatures mimicking usual traffic, like games and stuff, which should solve the problem you've described. And, with just a single unauthorized connection across border, the chain should be able to keep running even in worst case scenarios. Without anonymous networks, though, such nodes would be quickly blocked and swarmed by cops. As for traceability, I don't know. I buy from one shady guy in a dark alley, then sell to a different shady guy in another dark alley. If one of them is caught by the police or is himself a government agent, I'm screwed either way. I don't see how chain traceability makes any difference here. I'm not against XMR, though, I'm invested into it quite a bit. But for me it seems like it's a solution to "government is against this particular group of people having money" rather than "government is against crypto in general". Unless I don't understand something about it, which was my initial question.

I don’t think this is such a big deal, because it’s the same thing with the internet. You can try to save your data, your email password, your SSN during tax season, etc all your life. And if you mess up once, it’s on the web. But hackers can try over and over again, as you said. But our programs and operating systems are so easy, they have so many checks-and-balances in place, and they and handle all the complex stuff behind the curtain. Most people have no idea how DHCP, ports, DNS resolution, etc work, or why I can’t just access your Documents folder when you’re connected to the internet. Eventually, crypto will be the same. Even if the blockchain is irreversible and complex, our programs and front-end interfaces will be sophisticated enough that it won’t matter for most people.

Easy to do - it’s not a topic that comes up naturally . If it did come up, it’d get into how the consensus algorithm works on different chains, any upcoming changes to how transactions are processed, possibly the merits of docker swarm vs kubernetes or some discussion of what you could do with cloudflare beyond just DNS. All of that is crypto talk and I don’t know, people run the other way if there’s even the slightest risk it might come up.

Wifi is just short range wireless, not the internet. It's not illegal to send stuff over wifi or the internet even if nothing is relieving it. Nodes usually have 1 to 100+ connections to other nodes. Nodes check with built in DNS seed to grab some IPs for other nodes. Then nodes can share IPs of other known nodes.

No... I'm saying that opcodes shouldn't be strung together for the purposes of just adding images for shits & giggles. Satoshi thought that DNS should NOT be integrated into Bitcoin's main chain.... I'm sure he'd feel even more strongly about NFTs being integrated into the main chain. As I've said a few times already.... The entire concept of NFTs requires there to be 1 of a kind in order for them to have value. Scarcity of 1 doesn't work in this use-case, so there's no real value here, IMHO, beyond the fair market value of 1 Satoshi itself. >and I think it has flaws because nothing but luck stops that Satoshi from being used to tag a different inscription much later. From what I gather, you need to add your inscribed Satoshi to the Ordinal wallet in order to protect said inscription.

A few things you can do that are a bit more serious: Secure your network: get a pro-grade or enthusiasts router, secure and pentest it. Use a vLAN for crypto computer, and lock that firewall down inbound and outbound. Separate computer for crypto: no porn or general browsing, use a more secure OS like Linux and lock it down with a minimal install. Run your own recursive DNS server: PiHole and Unbound are a nice partnership. Airgap of your own design or hardware wallet. No browser wallets, you need to run fullnodes.

It’s an interesting thought for a poll however there are several obvious choices not there. I used to interview people for positions who were bachelor or master level. All I can say is not all degrees or people are created equally. Like a masters holder who when asked to define how DNS works promptly and arrogantly described a Google search, including using the name more than once in their description. At the time that was for a senior position in an embedded team. CIS major btw. With my some college level education it was always hilarious to hear a lot of these people eloquently describe how a non degree holder couldn’t even do the job. As the example above did as well, to me senior platform and the senior network engineer who also did not have a degree and were interviewing him. When the senior network person explained that actually neither of us had a degree the candidate literally doubled down and insisted he was correct. Pass. Be careful attributing to much to a piece of paper and not enough on real domain knowledge.

Virus total is a life saver with suspicious links! Also, you can change your DNS from your ISPs to something like 8.8.8.8 (Google's for example). There lots more. They will not resolve bad - known - domains. Very handy to stop the kids browsing to naughty sites too.

In the sea of tokens today, most have no real usecase that can't be solved without the use of a blockchain. The chain in many cases is just a slow database, and the immutability is questionable. But I still believe that projects like Ethereum, or some clone, has an important role to play in the developement of what web3 might become in the next decade, and that we can decentralize things like DNS etc. Bitcoin, on the other hand, the story is widely different. I believe, to my bones, it might become "The People's Dollar", a global reserve currency, much like the USD today. It's the fairest, and most pure form of money in history. Personally i hold BTC (85%), Cardano, Dogecoin, Monero and Zcash - but to be honest, it's only BTC I'm confident is still usefull in a decade.

You can literally click on a bookmarked website and do everything by the book, but you may get routed to a malicious website anyways because their DNS was hijacked. There were a few smaller attacks in the last few years where this happened, like [this](https://www.binance.com/en/blog/community/a-note-on-curve-finance-and-preventing-dns-attacks-584383509573613582) and [this](https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2022/07/01/two-polygon-fantom-front-ends-hit-by-dns-attack/). But I suspect that if defi grows more, those will become more frequent. It's not really crypto related, as those attacks happen on regular banking website etc as well, but as crypto transactions are final, those are the worst.

This was obviously an inside job BUT - if you target someone you can get a lot of info. The fact they will be launching some new API was public info. After that you can start interrogating DNS, scanning IP ranges around their other services, social engineering to try to get info out of devs. Again, this is clearly a setup for plausible deniability, but an experienced attacker will find a new server unless you take precautions against it (VPN, IP whitelists etc).

>Please don’t hate me for getting into crypto because of an altcoin with an animal on it It's understandable. There has been a serious breakdown in understanding of what a blockchain (a term never used in the whitepaper) is useful for due to the [noise and scam](https://twitter.com/rusty_twit/status/1296596310921900034) negative feedback loop that began once it was possible to exchange bitcoin for dollars. There were no altcoins for 2.5 years. Not a single one. Bitcoin reached dollar parity in April 2011, and reached a price of $5 that month. Guess when the first shitcoin was launched? >!April 2011!< From an open protocol built upon 40 years of research to fix the money by removing trust in humans and released to the world for free, people are today looking for "projects" they can trust and invest in so that they can become fiat millionaires overnight. In the last 5-6 years, it has gotten completely out of hand with blatantly centralized premine, ICO scams. Blockchain is inefficient to do anything but maintain global state of timestamped transactional database at the base layer without losing security and making it centralized. When the topic of a DNS protocol came up in the early days and some people were discussing to add more complexity to Bitcoin protocol, Satoshi suggested it as a sidechain instead saying, "Piling every proof-of-work quorum system in the world into one dataset doesn't scale." Bitcoin L1 is a settlement network and it [settles](https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/bitcoin-is-the-worlds-most-efficient-value-settlement-network) higher value than US GDP. As I have a Glassnode subscription, I can see that bitcoin settled $16 trillion change-adjusted value in 2022 during a bear market (I'll share the charts sometime). Day to day payments is an application of money as medium of exchange. The Lightning protocol is a P2P payments protocol and has a throughput potential of several million TPS. As of March 2022, [nearly 100 million users](https://arcane.no/research/nearly-100-million-people-have-access-to-lightning-payments) had access to Lightning payments (more than all altcoins combined) and it's powering [bitcoin circular economies](https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1573283006835482624.html) around the world in places like Africa, Asia, Latin America. Bitcoin is solving ([\[1\]](https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/zd5vnj/bitcoin_is_for_everyone/) [\[2\]](https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/zvlzb4/togolese_human_rights_activist_explains_french/)) centuries old problems in the real world. Bitcoin has the most efficient and advanced scripting features in terms of monetary functions many of which altcoins can never do as efficiently, reliably and economically, like sending several hundred output transactions (multiple transactions rolled into one) and extremely large multisig contracts, even upto 1000 participants for nearly the same fee as a single sig using Taproot. The potential use cases of this are even beyond our current scope of imaginations. Altcoins at large are terribly unsecure hypeware garbage, all easily corrupted and hacked with users losing [tens of billions](https://decrypt.co/86503/defi-users-lost-billion-theft-fraud-2021-mostly-ethereum-report) of dollars value to exploits every year, [millions of failed transactions](https://cryptopotato.com/over-1-2-million-ethereum-transactions-failed-in-may/) every month users lose fees on. Application functions and experimental functions can only exist at higher layers and they absolutely do not require any [premine, ICO, VC tokens](https://twitter.com/coryklippsten/status/1595564120782172160) just to make insiders rich. Take the example of TCP and HTTP. Internet would not exist as it is today, and you wouldn't be here without separation of application layer. Read about Postel's law, named after "god of the internet" Jon Postel who argued that monolithic internet design cannot scale and we must adopt the principles of layering protocols. There will be more applications from likes of TARO protocol, RGB, drivechains, spacechains, statechains etc. TARO is a [most elegant](https://i.redd.it/bnzksocdbun91.png) decentralized stablecoin and assets protocol without central issuer which will allow users to hold self hosted bitcoin and stablecoin balance and swap between them through Lightning rails without going through any exchange at all. Bitcoin blockchain will be ossified just like TCP because if you sacrifice any of its properties even a little bit, it will become unsuitable as the base layer of money for the world. This is why layering protocols is critical and ideally you want to build on the most secure and decentralized protocol known to mankind. Anything that is safe, secure and useful will be built on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not an investment. It's a new monetary system built from the ground up by us, literally random people on the internet voluntarily supporting, securing and developing it. Through voluntary adoption, bitcoin is where it is today having started from zero 14 years ago. There's no company, foundation, premine, ICO, VCs, licenses, trademarks, branding or marketing teams, not even an official website, code repo or even a formal specification. >In wanted to ask you guys for advice on which wallet to use for Bitcoin so I can get them off the exchange Recommended HW wallets, [Coldcard](https://coldcard.com/) [Jade](https://blockstream.com/jade/) [SeedSigner](https://seedsigner.com/) [Passport](https://foundationdevices.com/passport/) [BitBox](https://shiftcrypto.ch/bitbox02/bitcoin-only/) Ideal setup, get 2 different Bitcoin only HW wallets and multisig with a Bitcoin only software wallet (something like Bluewallet has beginner friendly UI to do this).

Firstly you do not rely on costly third parties anymore than every single blockchain relies on it, far more so without any plan for decentralizing. The literal ONLY point of centralization is the DNS records. Anyone can run a relay node, saying it's a higher cost doesn't change that fact. If you can make $1M a year on a business built on Algorand, $15k on a relay node is a drop in the bucket of business cost. So stop the rambling about your false premise that costly relay nodes pose an impossible path to decentralization. It's simply not true, and you will be proven wrong in practice within 2 years. You can repeat the fact of relay node hardware requirement a thousand times, it will never prove your silly assertion that it makes decentralization impossible. &#x200B; Enjoy.

Go ahead and play out your worst doomsday scenario, someone, anyone, destroys the DNS... Either a new DNS is created by the community or immediately code gets updated with the list of relay node IPs. The network goes back online and no data is lost outside of some in flight transactions that need to be re-transmitted. Doomsday is a temporary pause in the network? "attacking the nodes" is not a realistic outcome, they are distributed across the globe.

Half-true. Anyone can run a relay node, any participation node can connect to any relay node. You need the Algorand Foundation to add your relay node to the DNS that all nodes default to use. This is done with clear intent and plan to bootstrap the network, where a new network can be decentralized over time, it cannot grow when scalability/performance is not there. Once they have the automatic DNS addition logic, then anyone will be able to be added to the default relay node list.

Algorand relay nodes simply move transactions and are not involved in consensus, so there is no way they can somehow introduce bogus transactions. Relay nodes are run by organizations not connected to the algorand foundation. The algorand foundation simply lists them in a DNS entry. Are you getting relay nodes confused with participation nodes, which are the consensus nodes and are completely permissionless?

No one ever once claimed they were incentivized today, so not sure what your point was? Current relay nodes are NOT centralized, they are funded through 2024, not ongoing, the funding is completed. Relay nodes will not really change, anyone can run one today and tomorrow. What will change is the process to get your relay node entered into the DNS in a permissionless manner.
