That’s partly why I donate. If they get direct funds they’re hopefully less likely to turn to these scammy cryptocoins to keep the lights on

- iqanq 5y agoWhat you don't realise is that they will keep your donation AND their crypto.
- ckastner 5y agoThat already happened, though. I'd really, really like to support Signal, but unless they distance themselves from MobileCoin again, I can only assume they are in on it to a certain degree.
- CodeGlitch 5y agoI just don't get all the hate for cryptocurrencies around here. I benefit from using both Brave and Signal without being subjected to (scammy) adverts, and I just ignore the cryptocurrencies (you can too!!).. For people who are willing to take the risks with MobileCoin and the like, why not give them that choice?
- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> why not give them that choice? That’s fine. But don’t ask me for donations on top. Sending donation dollars to fund developers pumping a coin is a strange use of resources.
- CodeGlitch 5y ago> Sending donation dollars to fund developers pumping a coin is a strange use of resources. Is it? Perhaps those developers will come up with a coin that isn't so scummy? Or come at it from a different direction which satisfies your worries.
- zepto 5y agoIf they want investment for that, then they can declare those plans. Otherwise it’s literally just wishful thinking.
- rvz 5y agoWhat is wrong with using a regulated stablecoin for donations, instead of a unregulated volatile cryptocurrency like MobileCoin that with Signal can be used to privately finance lots of terrorists, extremists and conspiracy theorists chatting amongst themselves in a group chat? Is that why Signal has not been banned for these uses yet?
