To be fair, the US ban on Nvidia chip exports to China began under the Biden administration in 2022. By the time Trump took office, it was already too late.

In Korea, shame often serves as the primary motivator behind high-profile suicides. It's rooted in the cultural concept of "chemyeon (체면)", which imposes immense pressure to maintain a dignified public image.

Pretty cool! It's kinda amusing that we've gone from TUI (VisiCalc/Lotus 1-2-3) to GUI (Excel), and back to TUI though.

Not at all. The shares in a C-corp are securities because they will definitely pass the Howey Test. Also, stocks are considered securities by a statute. It is unclear whether XRP tokens themselves pass the Howey test. (I believe the Howey Test is extremely outdated and needs to be revamped, but that's a different topic.)

I would believe it if the signature came from one of Satoshi's addresses, but this is not it.

1. The signature was created using a private key that corresponds to the address "1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3".

2. 1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3 is Hal Finney's (Not Satoshi's) address.

3. Hal Finney passed away in 2014.

4. Some coins that belonged to that address were spent in 2017. [1]

It appears that someone else (definitely not Hal) has the private key to that address.

I know that. I am saying that if the app is mostly webviews anyway instead of building the views natively, there would not be much difference between being a fully native app with WebViews or being an RN app with components.

I thought Discord is mostly webview-powered, is it not? If so, this change will make very little difference to the user.

It's mostly React Native for the UI, but there's a lot of native code for crypto/secure enclave operations.

The app uses Infura, just like MetaMask, but future version will allow you to specify your own RPC. Geth/Parity light clients are not quite usable on mobile yet, but they are improving rapidly, so hopefully in the future.

If that's really what I wanted, there are many much easier ways than making a full app, such as writing a lame whitepaper and doing a scam ICO. You will see a lot of open-source code from Cipher soon, hopefully that puts your mind at ease.

Yes, use the same recovery phrase. I wouldn't recommend making transactions simultaneously on multiple devices though.

You can tap on skip button in the corner but do copy it down as soon as you are able (it can be viewed again in settings screen).

Cipher uses features like the Secure Enclave chip to make things more secure, but obviously the best practice is to treat it as a hot spending wallet and use a hardware wallet to store large amounts.

Your feedback is legit. Unfortunately the app has to initially cater to the early adopters of Ethereum, but making Ethereum and Dapps approachable is the #1 goal of this project. I will be spending a lot of time on further simplifying the UI/UX of the app and the what you see on the website. If anyone wants to help, please let me know.
