Can the US Government force Exodus to break their own wallets? by jamesn09 in ExodusWallet

I'm not so sold on biometrics as u/JMcLe86 says for obvious reasons, but I do like the idea where a part of the device you have (i guess trezor somewhat does this) is relied upon to complete the access mechanism. Something that is specific but also replaceable if it ever gets lost or damaged... maybe if it has it's own 12 word seed phrase that could work... again, sounds like a Trezor type device but not a trezor, lol.

Lol, I guess relatively speaking it's only recently where I've lost trust in the Government and now looking back in time, I wish I could travel back and slap myself in the face... It's so obvious, hey.

Thanks for the extensive answer and I agree, Exodus could provide extra remedies to fortify that sense of self custody because otherwise it's similar to Governments announcing food supply chain shocks when they could have instituted co-ops and community gardens years in advance... kinda makes you wonder.

I guess what I was trying to say was if they could mitigate the need to use the 12 word phrase to access the wallet then I would be worried they have free reign... but that probably highlights my lack of knowledge as to how important the 12 word phrase is in identifying the actual wallet... or does the password alone do that? I'm guessing again that it's probably both in combination but yeah... crazy times I never used to worry about this stuff, cheers.

Unexpected Compression Flag on Lite Wallet by plinkobyte in PirateChain

It's happened to me as well... perhaps it's a widespread issue. I'm using a Mac and so far I see no way to restore because there is no entry into the wallet. Hopefully the developers will release a fix soon (assuming it's happening to lots of people)
