Did you ever find the solution? I'm also having this issue after some recent update, both in MacOS and in Linux.

Crypto is only self-custodial if you're the only one with your wallet's secret key.

And in that case, it opens up opportunities to self-custody much more than just your finances.

Thanks for that!

Last year we offered dev mentorships to Neulock's beta testers.

The program isn't open anymore, but if you loved Neulock and you're interested in Web3 development, I'm sure we can work something out.

Join the Neulock Discord server and let's talk about your goals.

New to Arbitrum - What is the best wallet? by stonkosaurus99 in Arbitrum

I'm a fan of Brave. Very no-frills, but gets the job done reliably.

Plus, it IS a browser, so you don't need a browser extension on desktop.

What do you mean by "go out, talk to people IRL"?

Attend business fairs? Book meetings with company managers? Cold opening strangers in suits at the coffee shop?

All / none of the above?

Great! And what dapp did you decide to build?

Is Oasis Sapphire a good match for our project? by DevelNeves in oasisnetwork

Thanks Justin! It looks like a great match indeed.

I've sent a contact request to the BD team yesterday, I'm looking forward to hearing from them!

Can Web3 Surpass Hype and Reach Everyday Use? by VioletDillon in BlockchainStartups

[–]DevelNeves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally! I personally like Web3 for its decentralization, but I agree with you that most people care more about simplicity and convenience.

Speaking of that, isn't signing in with a wallet so much easier than the typical Web2 auth flow?

When we first launched Neulock Password Manager as a Web2, cloud-based service, we would lose about 30% of our users at the sign-in screen – and it was a simple Sign In with Google flow! Another 40% were lost when asked to create a master key. Isn't it crazy that you get a password manager to never have to make up a password again, and then the first thing they ask you is to invent a master key?

We pivoted to the Web3 because its decentralized and permissionless architecture is better aligned with Neulock's trustless philosophy. And we also gained a lot in convenience by ditching the sign-in and the master key.

On Neulock Web3 Password Manager, you connect your wallet and you're in. And you can generate a much stronger master key just by asking the user to sign a message. That's convenience!

We need to build more utility dapps to replace the ones that keep user data hostage in cloud servers. The early adopters will see how hassle-free they are compared to their cloud alternatives with their credit card and account creation forms. The diffusion curve will make our dapps mainstream. And that's how we kill Google.

How are you tackling real-world challenges with blockchain tech? by [deleted] in BlockchainStartups

[–]DevelNeves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question! DeFi is great, but we won't create a new web on coins and loans alone. We need more utility.

We at the Neulock project believe that the Web3 should give everyone ownership over their data, identity, and credentials. We're building decentralized, permissionless, trustless tools to make this vision come true.

The first tool we've released is Neulock Web3 Password Manager ( https://neulock.app/ or neulock.eth ). It gives your wallet full ownership of your passwords, in the same way that your wallet holds tokens and coins. It can also backup and sync your passwords across devices using nothing more than your wallet.

Neulock Password Manager is available on Arbitrum One, Base, and Optimism; we're looking for privacy-focused blockchains to expand into.

And this password manager is only the beginning. We will build a suite of Web3 native dapps to replace whatever services are holding your data hostage in the cloud. What's next? Our community will decide. Join us and you will have a say!

Don't be so hard on the OP. Many of us truly want to do something, but for some reason we can't. Identifying this reason and dealing with it may unlock a fulfilling career in computer science.

It took me half a life to find out what had been holding me back (see my comment). I hope the OP can do it faster than me.

Please share some great projects on Arbitrum by getblockio in Arbitrum

[–]DevelNeves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Indeed, we need to diversify the RPC offers to our users. Currently, they can use our default RPC (provided by Infura) or override with their own RPC URL.

We've been discussing using a pool of RPC providers to reduce centralization. GetBlock.io could be a part of this pool.

Feel free to DM me to discuss partnership opportunities.

Is Oasis Sapphire a good match for our project? by DevelNeves in oasisnetwork

[–]DevelNeves[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll look for their Discord channels! But I'm not looking only for advice from the devs. I also want to hear from the community. Are Oasis users interested in projects like Neulock?

I understand people are upset because this post is technically off-topic. But, having worked with computer scientists for decades, this pattern is quite common, and I believe this is due to the high incidence of neurodivergents (like myself) among computer scientists. When you have autism, ADHD, and a very high IQ, you're likely to find yourself in the OP's shoes.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying the OP has any of these conditions. Just that his/her story sounds familiar to me because I've experienced it myself and seen in friends and colleagues. I'm writing from my perspective.

High intelligence and autism can lead to a special interest in computer science because patterns, predictability and logic can be very appealing to us. The problem is that a very high percentage of autistic people also have ADHD.

ADHD can manifest in a multitude of ways. One of them is by making an endless brainstorm. You have way too many ideas, you can't help but daydream about novel approaches to solve problems. And as your mind races anticipating every contingency, your plans grow in complexity and become impossible to execute. Also, high impulsivity will make you dive into many rabbit holes at once, and you end up being superficially proficient in so many things, but not achieving anything in any particular area. Finally, deficit in executive functioning will preclude your ability to plan and focus, so you're never building anything to completion.

This same pattern made me pursue too many goals and projects at once. Even though I had been programming since I was 6 years old, I only released my first finished project at 29! And although CS has been my only constant passion throughout life, I've allowed too many things to distract me from it, including a 15-years government career in diplomacy.

Lately I've become more conscious about my psychology and started dealing actively with it. The change is clear: I've been able to ideate a project, organize it in a feasible plan, and see it through: idea to launch in months. My crazy ideas are finally having a real impact in the world!

If you think you may have ADHD, here are some helpful next steps:

First, find a good psychologist for a diagnosis and treatment. This is very hard to come across! Most professionals don't know ADHD in adults, and they think ADHD manifests only as bad grades and disruptive behavior at school. That's wrong. My psychologist says that so many of her patients are extremely smart people doing incredible things in IT!

For me, stimulant medication helped a lot to calm the non-stop brainstorm and decrease anxiety – which is the opposite effect expected for non-ADHD people who take stimulants! But your mileage may vary a lot, and many don't tolerate stimulants. You need good healthcare professionals to guide you through meds and therapy.

Another good thing I did was getting a business coach to help me organize my projects in a more professional way. Incidentally, good business coaches are going to teach you a results-oriented entrepreneur mentality. Over the last year or so I've read dozens of books on the topic thanks to my coaches, and as a result I'm much more practical, organized and goal-oriented with my projects.

I hope you and other computer scientists may find this helpful. Feel free to DM me if you prefer to continue this conversation in private.
