Attached: 4 images It's really unfortunate to see that @[email protected] went the Tokenization/NFTs route to fund the project, and also chose Ethereum (which was 70% pre-mined by it's developers), inventing your own coin doesn't suddenly give it value (no matter what restrictions you place on it) not trusting the operators means you don't want to let go of control, you want a Token that only YOU can control, I'm not saying it's easy.. And I'm not saying I have the solution, but this ain't it. #privacy #crypocurrency #ethereum #NFTs #tech #tokenization #blockchain #encyption #messaging #technology

It’s really sad to see SimpleX goes the shitcoin route to try and fund their project, Ethereum is not ethical as I briefly explained in this post

Now is a perfect opportunity to fork the project with I2P and add Monero as the payment option both for people to transact and fund the developers and I2P operators

    now is the time to add monero

    No, fuck that, no crypto integration. I want a basic simple fucking messenger that’s open source, let’s you own your own data without owning the server, allows for new easy anonymous identities, and can be handed to your grandma.

    SimpleX was the only thing that fulfilled this. This aggression will not stand, man. Like that was the one thing that ticked the boxes.

    There was some comment I read a month or two ago about not trusting it because it was VC funded. I knew they where right, but it was nice while it lasted…

        Its a great way to buy vpns/seedboxes/burner VoIP lines/anon SMS 2factor servcies/hosting/hrt/drugs and take anon donations.

        Its not how I’m going to pay my roommate to get her back for a bill or something. Especially when its already attached to another transaction that’s related to me or my close friends by whatever card they used to pay the bill.

        Even if I did, I could send them a qr or text of a wallet RX address. Copy/Paste already exists. You don’t need to integrate crypto into it.

          I mean you cannot fit Monero in the same bucket as the rest of the cryptocurrencies. No foundation, no company, no VCs, no pre-mined, CPU-based PoW, no major on/off ramp accepting it but still a strong currency with real usage outside speculation made by a community of builders. Can be life saving for some high risks profiles and honestly is the complete opposite of the cryptocurrency market, I’m thankful it exists.
