Maybe I should have been more explicit: the safety of my data at rest on a remote system hinges on Intel's oft-broken security code and a memorable password. Normally I use 128-bit passwords (i.e., 22 mixed-case letters and digits) for any remote system. That's not really practical for something which prompts me to enter the PIN periodically (and I think Signal limits the PIN to 20 characters anyway). I do not see any net benefit to storing my contact information on Signal's servers. If I want to rebuild my contact list, I can … ask my contacts for their Signal accounts.
