Yeah, it's all a work in progress and you need to separate what's wrong with a particular client from what works about the protocol in general. I'm not in love with any of the clients so far but the fundamentals of the system seem pretty strong. I agree though, it's disturbing how little people seem to care at the moment. That'll change as more of the deplorables join.
This particular issue is just Amethyst, right? And didn't that guy have something to do with developing vaccine passports?
