Hey! Thanks for the message.

> Homepage is nothing but "Sign in to continue"

The main homepage leaves a lot to be desired but point noted - I'll update the link to direct there instead.

> Perhaps run an anonymous twin of the entire service too. See how they diverge over time

not 100% sure what you mean here. Could you explain further?

> Expect massive legal and KYC stuff too

Noted. The banking provider forces KYC which users go through on sign up before the account details & Privy managed ( https://www.privy.io/ ) wallet that stores the USDC is all provisioned.

> Maybe don't use a bank account anywhere and just accept direct crypto deposits

This would avoid a lot of legal + KYC but I'm aiming to target "power users" who don't necessarily need to know how to on-ramp & off-ramp crypto. This product may be too early for this wave of users but I'd like to have something that just feels like you've opened up a debit / savings account that you can give to your agent instead of providing access to your own details.

Thank you!

anonymous twin - if you're ever hacked, make sure the attacker can't identify users. Don't ask for emails or phone numbers. Provide users with 10 login strings that must be used sequentially. To login, use #1 string first + PIN and as soon as #2 string + PIN is used, #1 is automatically cancelled. They are not one-time logins. Can be used repeatedly.

Have an emergency passcode to be used for a new set of 10 after a fortnight time delay that neutralizes the previous 10. I am just making this up - I don't even know if any of this is truly necessary.
