It's not a cryotocurrency. It's a private blockchain. As I understand it, it incentivises nodes to play nice. Signal's requirement for phone numbers is an absolute red flag for me. And using contact lists seems insane. I've been playing with it a little, using the Linux app, and it was extremely intuitive. But then, I only chat with people who I know online via other channels. With zero meatspace involvement. So if I care, I can cross authenticate. Using GnuPG even. I'm 0525c5ba8a4bc6fc6f107b637b5107b6b7abfd1153ea042b5e9fe474acb5d9cf35 if y'all would like to chat.
