@never_released @signalapp Signal: We are going to take all your contacts and make the security of them provisional on SGX, which is secure™ [SGX gets totally broken multiple times] Signal: We have a new cryptocurrency, it also uses SGX. This is what you wanted right?

@TheBlueMatt @signalapp @mobilecoin It's the same old problem, we keep using these centralized products believing they won't eventually sell us out, or betray us, but they *always* do. Unless a messaging app is built on something like XMPP + OMEMO for end-to-end encryption, it's a waste of time.

@scearley @signalapp Over 481k followers? And they can’t provide tech support? QA? This is terrible. I’m so sad about your mom.

@signalapp 1/2 I'm having a major issue: convos are being displayed & updated on my desktop device but not on my phone - on there, it looks like I only just started out with Signal, notifying me all of all of my contacts that use Signal and that some convos have been updated...

@punkt That was frankly the last missing feature for me on this phone, but there is one small issue though... how to link to @signalapp's desktop app without a camera ? @punktsupport

@woonomic @signalapp I lost trust, I always treat signal as less evil as federated service not possible, central server. For sure better than Whatsapp, but I will switch to other alternative in near future as this business model i do not like

@mobilecoin @0xlawrence I have downloaded @signalapp when Elon Musk tweeted ... And the watsapp privacy issues. Signal app and mobile coin both have huge potential to capture market. I think signal app and mobile coin should go for a cryptocurrency Exchange+ payment system+social networking. What say?

Suddenly @signalapp desktop app won't load. I'm getting "Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink" referencing the log file (it won't let me modify/delete). Tried re-installing and opened ticket but haven't heard back. Anyone hit this and resolved it?

(@notresz) reported
@TheBlueMatt @signalapp @mobilecoin this is the classic problem in this space: developers stuck in the traditional ways of software development think they can solve a problem by writing their own code. In crypto, a new centralized coin, no matter how great it's technical specs are, is instant trash

@InsidrJoe @skwp @signalapp It's an open source app. Trouble is, the developers have all the control.

(@ClayCollins) reported
So folks from opensource project @signalapp want to make (print) some money @mobilecoin (after delivering billions in value & protecting countless lives). What's the problem? Didn't pick your favorite magic internet money instead? They pulled off what FB & Telegram could not?

@Lambo @signalapp @matrixdotorg Signal is planning to add a payment service. One should be careful about that bc it adds new possibilities for breaches.

@scearley @signalapp probably not useful to you, but i have a couple windows machines if it would help you next time y'all are up this way. i am 100% ignorant on how this works though. it sounds like this won't be of much use.

@woonomic @signalapp The only P2P alternative, capable of serving any number of users simultaneously is @hypermessenger, a "demo" app of the Elastos project. Help develop it if you want an alternative to Signal that you don't have to pay dearly for.

@secparam @signalapp @mobilecoin It’s the “finance (and pocket large parts of, plus let VCs take a margin before dumping) a coin by pitching how you’re gonna sell it to a captive audience” part I take issue with, plus, if we’re honest, the MOB value fluctuation is gonna be laughable for a “UX focused” product.

@signalapp Does Signal actually have any user support? I've sent 2 requests for help with the windows desktop app. It has been at least 2 weeks at this point. I've been a user for several years. The desktop app is useless to me with the current functionality. What gives??

@cho_ingby @mikko @signalapp But say if someone who you never want to be contacted by again has your number in their address book and uploads it to Signal they tell them you are on the service.

@InsidrJoe @skwp @signalapp Trouble is, the developers have changed the rules in a missive architectural way. They have enticed us all in then locked the gates behide us. The risk reward benefits in removing phone numbers in place for an unknown altcoin verification process is too high for my liking.

@Agusx1211 @bourbonni @signalapp My grandmother uses Signal to call me, Status is by far more difficult for someone like her (from seed phrase to wallet too visible). And it has the same token "problem" that Signal may soon have.

Ian Miers
(@secparam) reported
@TheBlueMatt @signalapp @mobilecoin Right, so it may be a cash grab. But the void of private payment, in that case, is a kind of "attractive nuisance." Because cryptocurrency hasn't fixed it, people can keep selling things that claim to. Fix the void, it gets harder.

@signalapp Please, stick to messaging and stop experimental payments that are going to ruin your reputation and service so we all have to migrate our social network to other apps. I would hate to switch again

@signalapp Take it from people whose work has continued to be influential for the past 50 years: "do one thing and do it well". Please focus on being a messaging app. I will hold donations and start looking at alternatives on the assumption that you will continue down this path.
