It is all wishful thinking and beside the point. Pubkey auth and normies do not mix. They lose their keys, their identity, their history, then back to zuck or elon’s plantation where things can be administratively resolved.
Same point as https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=46282964
Disagree though, people manage keys just fine, or they can be thought.
But even if there are people in the world that never get it, it could be outsourced to a central identity provider that manages your key and messages. For the end user they would have a user/password combo they can reset.
If the network becomes more popular someone will definitely build something like that.
The technical capabilities (remote signers, bunkers, ...) already exist
rglullis wrote that they "do not want to". I went a step further, expressing that they couldn't even if they wanted to. Not necessarily from lack of understanding so much as poor computing habits--malware, crashes without backups, forgetfulness, post-it notes in the same household as untrustworthy relatives, etc. Normies need the administrative solution, but then we're back to Sauron.
