We will ALWAYS fall back to old ways. Wants privacy -> goes to Web3 … nope. XTMP + public blockchain = no privacy + spam based on onchain data. Full circle. You don’t need to know someone’s personal info to invade their privacy. And people are excited about it! I hope I’m wrong. Tell me I’m wrong.

I could have used a better term than “spam”. I mean any communication from a brand. Brands that adopt Web3 like Nike or Starbucks have a ton of information about our “Web3 selves” because of the blockchain. And now they can message us with ads based on that. And even sell it for their affiliates to message us

You won’t need a web interface since it’s built in to Coinbase wallet. There definitely could be some allowlist-like features. I hope there is. But knowing Web3, there won’t be any regulations for other wallets using a similar solution. Maybe GDPR will extend to wallets? That would be ideal.

This is both a problem and an opportunity. 1/ this spam problem will be fixed at protocol level with economics and at client level with UX / filtering. It is also an opportunity because clients can use this data in order to recommend relevant people to talk to.

2/ you can also create a very new wallet and only share it with people you trust (like a telephone number today). There's very little chance to have spam this way.

Many applications and websites require a phone number to sign up, and some of those are services that I “need”. I would think I can trust them, but the same way I have no real way of knowing who their affiliates are, the same thing can happen at the protocol layer with giving access to a new wallet.
