Primary Addresses coming soon. 

Users can choose one of their wallets (warplet or another connected wallet) to be their primary wallet for the purpose of sending them stuff.

Will have easy to use APIs to query a user's Primary Address.

For a long time I believed we would live in a world where everyone would have multiple addresses—in a similar way that we have hundreds of accounts for web services

But for a while now I've been convinced that the actual address part will be as visible to end users as IP addresses are, that is, basically invisible and abstracted away

FC primary addresses is a prime example of that—most people will only interact and transact with my fname, they won't need to really know my address

The same will be true of other crypto apps—we're in a brief period of fragmentation and complexity around wallet addresses, but not too long from now most of us will never need to see them or track them

Censorship resistance requires privacy.

Blockchains can't get mass adoption without privacy, and privacy requires abstracting the notion of an account away from public identifiers like addresses.

I imagine a world where public addresses are obfuscated entirely from the recipient or sender, they act purely as rails without meaningful identifiers

Do you imagine a public address that then has logic/rules that control sub accounts?

Or do you envision a public wallet address more akin to a mail box or email address that’s easily findable and accessible?

it's where we may end up, familiar UX at the front (with existing widespread adoption) and blockchains at the back

that said, main issue imo is better described by @polymutex.eth

sure

but

if that’s the case, why bother with all this cryptography on blockchains? 

better use PayPal and whetever social network is the most popular by actual active users, ideally with >1k DAUs
