Consumer Crypto

I just had the most confusing and broken consumer crypto experience with smart wallets and passkeys.

It would've actually been much simpler if I had been able to use an EOA instead of a smart wallet.

When moshicam was launched I tried to use it on Android. I don't recall but I clearly had to create a smart wallet for it with a passkey. I couldn't use the app because I didn't have an invite so I deleted it.

Now I tried to use it again on iOS so I created a smart wallet for it but now I can't connect my Farcaster account because it's already associated with another smart wallet apparently.

I used 1password as passkey provider since it's cross platform but that didn't help. I even tried using the QR code to load the passkey from Android but it says I have no passkey.

What a mess.

To be clear, this isn't on moshicam.

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

The crypto UX space is becoming more complicated by the day. Still can't beat the portability of EOAs.

isn’t your passkey associated with an email?

The idea that UX can be solved with just-another-abstraction-layer is terrible.

Crypto UX is definitely still complete garbage. 🗑️ 

We’ve got a long way to go!
