Thanks for mentioning ZenGo (with a capital G please :))

Looking forward to a more complete review on how to recover in a simpler way :)

The problem is that twitter as a company has killed so many third party developers in the past, i am not sure what to make of this.

what is the difference with the other decentralized file storage "forever" you also invested in?

has nothing to do with that. you could be taking a nap in a park or beach without having to "sleep with anyone". you could leave alone and forget your door open. you could be blind too or suffering for poor sight. i can go on with examples. there is a reason "attention detection" exists and even google has aknowledge it was missing and should be added!

Not necessarily. Hotel. Nap in park. Beach. And so on

Because someone can unlock your phone while you sleep

Apple has Face ID since iPhone X, so that is at least 2 years ago
And Pixel does not work with "attention detection" meaning it will unlock eyes closed which is very bad for security

That said it works super fast.

i did. but i do not understand except that i have to trust and believe their incentive mechanism will sustain

Re: A Decentralized Archive

OurielOhayon — Sun, 10 Nov 2019 10:05:44 -0000

how is the 200/400 years estimated. more importantly guaranteed?

And restoring private keys/seed in your crypto wallet. oh boy
that said iOS has a slight better shortcut if you restore an encrypted backup via iTunes/Finder. it saves the step of login to every app. but won t save
1. app specific 2FA
2. private keys wallet
3. bluetooth pairing
4. offline files stored
5. pairing to watch and others
6. banking apps that use secure enclave and more
7. apple/google pay repairing

a REAL pita

you are probably right although i am 100% comfortable with managing private keys, as this is what i deal with

Re: A Decentralized Archive

OurielOhayon — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 11:54:47 -0000

the lack of clarity is worrying. add to that the problem of user experience i had (maybe this is for developers only). i don t know...

i do understand the economical logic but i do not understand how the promise of "forever" can be garanteed and enforced should the incentive mechanism fail

Re: A Decentralized Archive

OurielOhayon — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 11:16:40 -0000

i was excited at first but found it to be really hard to use and dropped it. did i miss something?
also i fail to understand how the "forever" claim is garanteed. unless it means forever as long as arweave somehow exists?

Re: Franz Liszt

OurielOhayon — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 12:54:33 -0000

Franz Liszt was a genius an the particular piece you are referring to comes from his opus "Les annees de pelerinage". It includes some of the most beautiful piano pieces ("Benediction de dieux dans la solitude"). He was a rock star but ended in dark mystical lifestyle (his music went down that road too).

Les annees de pelerinage was an infection point in his carrier "post rock star" where are being popular and an awesome showman (there was no music records at the time but he could play by ear any music and for example transcribed all Beethoven symphonies for the piano so they could be heard in private concerts) he became more medidative and contemplative not to say auster.

Fred, how do you feel about extensible being “a thing” when Apple and Google clearly do not want any game items being payable to crypto currencies.

Add to that the risky, expensive and tedious KYC /AML steps crypto services make you go through

Re: Facial Recognition

OurielOhayon — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 23:03:04 -0000

I don't think you can put all face recognition in the same basket. It is important to separate two categories. Those that private by design and built on device and cannot be accessed or created by anyone but the user (eg faceID) and those that are services in particular unencrypted designed as in the case of jet blue to be used as a deanonymiser. Labeling those two the same would create unnecessary tension and confusion on the first one which is not susceptible to systemic hack and privacy holes.

It's like talking about blockchains without making the distinction between decentralized servires échanges and wallets and centralized servies like coinbase and others. They belong to the same category but do not operate the same risk or trade offs.

Re: The Spotify Apple Issue

OurielOhayon — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 02:18:15 -0000

I think Spotify (and other paid for digital services) problem would be solved if Apple only allowed them to have users pay the way they want right from the app. Namely using a credit card/paypal and even maybe crypto. The core of the problem is not the approval process. It is painful but one can argue it serves users more than it hurts them by protecting them from crapware. The problem is that where users do not have a real choice is how they pay for digital services.

That rule is the core of the problem and the one in my opinion that could be challenged.

Btw this is the same problem mobile crypto apps are/will have ...

Re: Market, Team, Product

OurielOhayon — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 08:33:36 -0000

not sure the jockey/horse analogy works. the horse existence is not caused by the jockey. the jockey inherited from an animal. all he did is train it.

team and products are one and the same. it s like a work of art and an artist. or music and a band. it s all going together.

i don t think there is a distinction. The relevance of the team for the product/idea is fundamental. You can have fantastic entrepreneurs for an idea that is not supposed to be theirs (in that sense some jockeys might not be the right one for the same horse to win)

Re: The Warren Breakup Plan

OurielOhayon — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 23:52:54 -0000

Yup I believe that is the better direction. Like what happened in EU about regulator limiting what Google could do to promote its own service on search results. But I am afraid Warren is not tech educated enough to get it and that her mental model is Microsoft/IE and old style monopolies break up

Re: The Warren Breakup Plan

OurielOhayon — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 14:40:00 -0000

How can crypto change that when right now it is impossible to offer a digital good and pay with anything else that is not in app purchase?
