Its amazing how easy it is to download an app but yes getting people off telegram or WhatsApp is a very hard task. Only works for the closest 1-3 people in your lifey besides that its impossible and you get looked at as a weirdo 😂

Of course it's impossible to get people off of telegram (spyware) so it's probably pointless

I have literally 100% of my family and friends and coworkers on Signal (I'm based in Germany and Singapore).
So it can been done!!! I guess my friends suck then 😂😂😂. I got my two closest friends and family on signal. The rest won't budge.
Signal is taking off in Utah. Many people joining.
Whatsapp never caught on here.
This is more likely to happen in Europe, for a couple reasons.
1) Over 50% of Americans use an iPhone (I’m one of them), getting them to switch to a third party app that doesn’t offer anything over iMessage, is a big ask.
2)America is one country, obviously. And as such, are governed by the same federal laws throughout. Europe, being made up of many smaller countries, all with different federal regulations, makes switching to an app that is self governing, the smart choice.
It is indeed quite challenging.
But ecash sat and LN sat give Keychat superpowers that other chat app do not have, allowing it to provide services that other chat app cannot achieve.
We are still in development.
