@ity great that you've got good server uptime. what about the average person, ya know, the kind that doesn't have one?
and, how are you going to pay for it in the first place?
say, you're starting from zero and getting a job for the first time, where do they put the currency?
and, if a new job doesn't use the same cryptoX that you'd prefer?

sound an awful lot to me like, for digital currencies, middlemen, or 'payment processors' are kind of inevitable.
sure, it'd be neat to be able to be your own
but for the vast majority, you're suggesting huge amounts of friction for no change

i realize a lot of what i'm arguing is based on the fragmented nature of cryptocurrencies as they stand, but if it is standardized on one option, you've just got modern banking.
'ah, but distributed ledgers', no, those payment processors for the average person will almost certainly break the 51% rule. fragmentation is kind of necessary for crypto to have the qualities it does

beside my point, if your bank is messing up that often, it sounds like it's time to change banks. it might be my privilege talking again, but i've changed banks four times in my life, it's not exactly hard.
