You just copied and pasted that from the app description. Where’s the part where they admit it’s powered by a shitcoin?
No idea, i do not use this app.
Just shared what i found.
#nostr is my home
Good info but doesn’t explain why so many people are getting that verification email when it seems they didn’t sign up for it?
Seems obvious to me, they’re buying lists of email addresses of bitcoin and crypto users found in hacks to try to prop up their enrollment numbers.
This. I received it in the email leaked on the ledger hack.
It is a very sad marketing strategy after so many millions invested on the platform.
That is a strange case for sure.
Maybe a dump of known email addresses on the deepweb
It's a streaming service for Star Trek.
i've got the same mail, no idea what this shit is
Hmm, I got this too... 🤔
It took weeks, but I finally moved almost all my online accounts off of Gmail and behind an anonymous email proxy. It should make it easy to find out where your email address leaked from. I suggest everyone do the same.
If you've been doing this for a few years, don't you end up with like a hundred proxy addresses? How do you know which one you used? Are they created on the fly, like "Terry+Ledger@anonemail.com"
