It's easy. You "gift" the badge to a user via the Signal homepage when making a connection. There's no required connection between the gift-giver and the receiver. Is the person who gifted the badge the same as the receiver? Could very well be, but there's no way to prove that.
All you need to store server-side is "this user has the badge until date X".

Besides, the receiver will very likely be among your friends and acquaintances, so the NSA would only have to look at your social circle to find them.
- echelon 6y agoDatabase has one column on the user table: display_badge_until Store no payment info.
- cunac 6y agoit is amusing that you think you have fair chance if NSA/government really wants to get you. Buy hey if that makes you sleep at night be my guest.
