        @Snowden Exactly right. This is why I highly suggest using @Airbitz edge-security model: zero-knowledge, client-side encryption by default.

        @Crypto_Edge Sure, but an accounts-based model cannot claim zero-knowledge - what provide the ensured unlinkability? @Snowden @Airbitz

        @Snowden @csoghoian it is possible to create devices allowing a user-defined encryption, thereby removing the builder from the equation?
