Wasted a lot of time researching wallets, they're all bad.

Metamask - bugs, unreliable HW support, bad UX.
Rainbow - no custom RPC support, hides metadata too much.
Rivet - no ledger support, dapp-dev focused, stagnant 2+ mo.
XDefi - Swaps I don't need, more defi than tech.
Keplr - good multi-chain, bad multi-account, why?!
GridPlus - expensive hardware, doesn't fix browser UX.
Status - social stuff I don't need in a place that shouldn't have it.
MyCrypto - joined metamask, RIP.
Ambire - not an extension, walletconnect, no custom networks.
MEW Enkrypt - better metamask, still too non-technical.
Frame - github stagnant 2+ mo. Window management issues.
Rabby Desktop - seems ok, very recent, trying it out.

Can I have a wallet that doesn't hide what it is doing?
How am I supposed to trust if I can't see?

Most users might not be interested in what happens under the hood, but I am.

And where are the real technical features?

Wishlist:
- Log of RPC calls, tx hashes, etc?
- Account management that isolates each account?
- Introspection of signing requests?
- Network customization that actually works?
- Different local network configs with the same port?
- Different RPCs for the same chain.
- Network-selection not stuck when current RPC is offline.
- User-choice for insertion as window.ethereum or EIP6963.
- Wallet-connect support as a last-resort, not as a default.
- Choice of different RPC endpoints to serve different RPC methods?
- Blocking RPC requests until manual ACK.
- Allows more than 1 chain to be active, across different windows?
- Dumping data to JSON / CSV as first-class feature.
- Makes transactions readable by decoding ABI calls.
- Allows for simulation of the transaction, with clear state-changes, before signing.
- Doesn't try to override the fee settings of a tx after you modify them.
- Provide cast commands to inspect/debug data?
- Logs state-changes along with transaction data, before it becomes archive-only data.
- Allows me to copy transaction/receipt contents without going to etherscan.
- Provides easy etherscan/blockscout/etc. explorer links.
- Provides me with a clear idea of the canonical chain.
- Supports light-clients or cross-RPC checks to not get trapped by lying RPC provider.
- Provides me with clear confirmation-distance / finality info.
- Allows you to label addresses that are not yours. And export/import label books.
- Allows you to pull address labels from etherscan/nansen/other.
- Can show you history as a graph of transactions.
- Makes transaction-nonces very clear, and allows you to override them.
- Understands queues of transactions.
- Allows you to re-submit a tx, even to a different RPC, without signing it again.
- Shows you clear historical basefee data.
- Shows you clear historical priority-fee data.
- Shows you clear historical block gas-usage / capacity data.
- Allows you to turn a dapp tx request into a multi-call, to append side-effects.
- Has "dotfiles" you can export/import for common chain interactions, like WETH wrap/unwrap.
- Allows you to *record* dapp interactions and turn them into a forge script for repeat/customized execution.
- Hides web3 accounts from websites you visit
- Provides read-only mode, does not require online keys.
- Doesn't rely on centralized data indexers.
- Runs outside browser as much as possible.
- Tells me if a signing/RPC request was closed by the dapp and got stale.
- Shows a clear overview of in-flight transactions.
- Supports monitoring of tx-hashes and nonce-increments across different RPCs, to get extra quick confirmation.
- Doesn't hide blockhashes / account addresses / technical metadata.
- Doesn't have a big supply-chain attack-surface.
- Doesn't auto-update with some app-store.
- Minimal javascript reliance. Not an electron app.
- Is very clear about local storage usage.
- Does not have a token.
- Doesn't have telemetry.
- Does not sell my orderflow.
- Does not sell my data.
- Does not force in their bridging.
- Does not force in their swaps.
- Is not owned by mega corp.
- Is open-source.

I don't care about an NFT gallery in my wallet.
I don't care about auto-updating ERC20s in my wallet.
I care about transparency and dev-level ownership over my own wallet.

Is there some wallet out there I don't know about?

How big was the opportunity cost of focusing on the protocol, and not fixing the above?
How much defi did I miss? How many airdrops? Degen'ing feels a lot a safer with a good wallet.

Should I just create my own web3 wallet? I know I can build all of the above, given enough weekends.

And no, I'm not contributing to your wallet if it's JS/TS/mobile.

Is there really nothing like this?

@kain Wow this take is horrendous

Be an Open Source Absolutist!

It is hard to overstate how much value Open Source Software has added to the world, and how broadly empowering it is.

Operating systems, development tools, core libraries, and critical applications – a great many of the software tools used by the most powerful companies in the world are the exact same ones available to hospitals, students, and everyone else. For free. And not just to use, but to inspect, modify, extend, and redistribute.

Back in the 90s, there were legal battles in the US over software capable of strong encryption. There were scare stories about how terrorists and child pornographers would use the technology to evade justice, but people were also wearing T-shirts printed with forbidden code to mock the idea of algorithms too dangerous to share.

It was stupid, and I was ashamed of the regulatory state, but we got better.

Open Source AI is in many people’s crosshairs today. They believe that giving free access to state of the art algorithms and models without any guardrails constitutes a danger to society, that the public can’t be entrusted with a research model that wasn’t hammered into a box of their designated dimensions. “As a large language model, I cannot…”

Unfortunately, this is actually inside the Overton Window of possibilities right now.

Let’s push it out.

In the spirit of the first amendment, congress should make no law abridging the freedom to release open source software.

@dcinvestor Use ChatGPT Custom Instructions and instruct it to be concise and to the point, and avoid needlessly apologising. Much cleaner output!

sorry what the fuck

[Brian Klein @brianeklein]

Pleased to share that my client Roman Storm is already out on bail, although I remain very disappointed that the prosecutors charged him because he helped develop software - their novel legal theory has dangerous implications for all software developers.

Here's the addresses and ~$ values I have for today's jpegd / vyper / curve carnage

Looking like ~$70m as of now?

Lots of whitehat activity + automated MEV bots though, so it'll be interesting to see what was taken by intentionally malicious operators vs what is returned.

Hi @sama, if your VC and friends burn the 25%, I would be happy to consider the technical aspects of WorldCoin. Line up at the queue with the 8 billion of us.

Otherwise WorldCoin is just a pigs trough, and you are not making the world a better place.
