I sort of understand people feeling like Signal/Mobilecoin is a get-rich-quick scam (though I really don't think it is), but I don't understand why, beyond the ickiness if that were the case, it actually matters. Does it somehow reduce the effectiveness of Signal Messenger? The argument against Signal here seems to rest on the weakest foundation. As I understand it, it's something like: - This could be a get-rich cryptocurrency scheme. We don't have any evidence for it, but you can assume the worst. - The project embarking on this scheme shows they don't have users' best interests at heart. - If they don't have users' best interests at heart, how can I trust any of their other decisions? This is not an argument I'd want to hang my hat on.
