Okay, but the danger of vendor lockout is very great because gOS only supports one brand of phone. The justification for limiting support to pixels is that it has trusted computing features, but these are made unnecessary by having a long p

The libertarian solution has been to use cryptocurrency for payments. The problem is that only libertarians want to use cryptocurrency, and most people don't care.

Using cryptocurrency would give them leverage in a future negotiation. The goal would not be to replace payments entirely with cryptocurrencies (they are pretty inefficient), but to reduce the monopolistic power of conventional payment proc

>Third-parties take care of this bureaucracy for you. Check out the Phoenix wallet, for example. Sort of defeats the purpose then, doesn't it? Why not just make lightning payments directly from your bitcoin exchange?

Well I think the advantage is that the cryptocurrency payment processors are interchangeable. But your point mostly stands

I like this "city golf cart" idea. Just take a golf cart type of vehicle, give it a better battery. 30mph is all you need in a city. In fact, you could even take the self-driving element out.

This is an absurd definition of cryptography. Are you going to say that zero-knowlege proofs are not cryptography? Are pedersen commitments not cryptography? Are ring signatures not cryptography (they use symmetric cryptography internally)?

Yeah, you have anonymous cryptocurrencies like monero or zcash. So I suppose you could accept payment in an anonymous cryptocurrency, and then take that to whatever exchange you want. It's flawed, but I think the end goal is to create
