Every now and then, I feel a strong call to build a beautiful but very simple (receive/send, single key), ultra-secure (dice rolls only), full UTXO (750GB) Android Bitcoin Node app that doubles as a content provider for other apps on the phone... Arti-Tor + libbitcoinkernel + floresta-chain and floresta-wire pow proofs to kick-start while full sync is going. Limited inbound connections, but always running full mempool to validate unconfirmed transactions and get notifications in an Android-native DB. 2 years, 3 people-team, ~3M in funding with audits. Maybe one day...

Be onion, my friend. Sound on 🚀
