Trezor hardware wallets are now able to support the recent Bitcoin Taproot update.
well trezor it self is a company. The taproot upgrade for bitcoin was voted on using the taproot-activation consensus. https://taprootactivation.com/

Yes, it will support smart contracts when the taproot block is mined https://taprootactivation.com/ Should be around mid-November.
- Bitcoin gets more transactions per block with taproot and it just locked in for upgrade. Congratulations everyone.

Alyse Killeen mic drop at Bitcoin 2021
I agree in general, however Taproot and the Schnoor signatures implementation would theoretically allow more lightweight and sophisticated smart contract code on the blockchain while while increasing the TPS rate and lowering the cost. Taproot consensus (https://taprootactivation.com/) seems to be leaning toward accepting the soft fork so more varied smart contract code on Bitcoin's blockchain may be available sooner than later.

Taproot miner signal status
There are several small mining pools that have not signaled for Taproot in any of their blocks. Collectively, these pools produce approximately 4.77% of all blocks. Of these pools, only SpiderPool has explicitly expressed their support for Taproot via off-chain channels (see https://taprootactivation.com/).

Over 80% of mining pools have mined at least one taproot signaling block
Binance Pool (4.8% hashpower). They gave their support for Taproot back in 2020. Now they're playing games. Luckily the game ended in massive "yeses" that they should support taproot (the question is: who are the 20% of people who voted no??).

Arguably, the Bitcoin scalability efforts have been progressing too slowly. Second generation blockchain designs such as Ethereum and Avalanche are going to dethrone Bitcoin at some point.

Escaping Surveillance Capitalism, at Scale
I really thought this article was going to offer a solution, not just enumerate the problems. I'm already all too familiar with the problems.
I like what Umbrel[0] is doing. They're essentially expecting that just like computing was able to move from centralized mainframes to homes, servers are poised to make the same migration.
I think they really need to solve redundancy, though. If I'm to self-host anything important on a home server, I need to know I'll have some way to use it even if my home server fails, especially if I'm not at home when it happens.
I'd love to see some kind of system where I could partner up with other Umbrel users for backups/the ability to restore connectivity. If I knew that in an emergency, I could call my friend in town or my brother out of state and there was some procedure that would allow me to connect to an encrypted backup of what I'm needing, I would feel a lot better about taking responsibility for my own system.
