i love signal and proton
signal is a great example of a freedom focused sustainable non profit project
proton is a great example of a freedom focused sustainable for profit business
both are great models for nostr and bitcoin projects
Discussion
Love to try
This would hit different in caps
Indeed. No one would take it seriously.
But did nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx share classified government info on signal? 🤣
(Ok, I’ll stop paying attention to news now)
I can't wait for Nostr to be commercialized. That's the only way users will ever have a real voice in product development.
You're going to be waiting a long time

I use both of these multiple times per day. My stack would not be the same without them.
Signal is great for all kinds of conversations. Weekend plans, wedding planning, bombing countries, etc
The what 😂
I'm using both 😄
I think proton is a nonprofit thought, right?
it is a unique structure, a for profit business with a non profit foundation that owns shares
Ah, gotcha
Same, using Proton for over a year, not just email but also Drive and Calendar
Proton is great!
Signal just needs to add Lighting
Been using proton as well. Not really ecstatic about the Proton Wallet though…
do both of these companies have to comply with laws in their jurisdictions?
yes
do they have teams of lawyers advising them?
yes
is Matt correct here?
also yes
Just reading through this amazing text makes me realize how much I still have to learn and that learning truly never ends. If you stop learning you stop living. Thanks for making me grow and reflect. I’m learning a lot
I prefer simplex to signal
Signal would be even more sustainable if they just accepted bitcoin donations
i think they will add donations eventually and hopefully a full bitcoin wallet for p2p transactions
i still donate to them regardless
I am prefering Threema to Signal. They have an interesting business mode, they have a Libre version that you can pay with Bitcoin (on-chain only) and it even supports notifications on Graphene without Google Play Services.
Once I watched a YouTube video you were involved in and I thought “this guy seems bright” but you continue to talk…..
What's your opinion on Tuta?
The permissions required to run Signal scream honeypot. It's not a privacy app. Plus, the founder is basically anti-bitcoin.
Proton : it's just one step away from temporary mails for me. I use it when temp mails don't work. For anything private, I don't use email. Ever since they decided to collaborate with a mossad-connected security company (for that DDoS they had some years back), I've been suspicious about them.
For most things private, Simplex seems better at this point.
whats up nostriches, shoot me a follow if you are a bitcoiner, looking for plebs to engage with on here
Same. For years.
