Two things I'd like to see:
1. NFC support added to the Blockstream (npub1jg5…6n8n) Jade Plus. Teaching friends and family to shuttle transactions over QR code is confusing for them, and having to side load firmware with a dongle makes the UX even more impractical. NFC could maintain "cold" contact between the #GrapheneOS device and the Jade for both transactions and firmware upgrades. A big improvement in experience that anyone could use with similar security benefits.
2. Built-in node for Blockstream (npub1jg5…6n8n) Green. Today I need to configure Green to point my remotely running node, but that weighs on this setup because (A) I need to maintain and administer another machine and (B) I need to Uncle Jim for friends and family. It would be much nicer if Green packaged it's own (optional) #Bitcoin node internally. Today, mobile devices don't have the disk for the full timechain, but the latest devices are clocking north or 200gb internal storage, and that's only going to get better. Companies are also starting to ship phone-native storage expansions up to 1TB, like this Zike magnetic extended storage product, pictured. Green could detect available space and allow for a truncated timechain when needed. This would also make Green a mean road warrior. The time for mobile nodes is here.

quoting note16j0…pjt2A dedicated #GrapheneOS device with Blockstream (npub1jg5…6n8n) Green installed directly via Obtanium and verified with AppVerifier is a great way to interface with the new #Jade Plus.
