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…
Monero is based though
on what?
On interesting math
[Blockchain] technology is neutral. People make it good or bad.
Sure, maybe. But you’re making it clear you’re in the bad camp too when you’re announcing this with NFTs.
Why do NFTs make then inherently bad? AFAIK they are not trying to pivot into selling monkey pictures but rather selling prepaid phone cards to cover server costs for large communities. Why is this bad?
The problem is that they’re basing their new infrastructure on a token that they control, that is also based on a blockchain that isn’t neutral as they claim (Ethereum was 70% pre-mined by it’s developers, how is that neutral!)
also NFTs aren’t even Crypto in my view, they never took off, they never gained momentum, no one looked at them… well… some NPCs did… whenever someone mentions NFT just know they’re trying to sell you something that they can make out of thin air, that’s not how value works…
they never gained momentum, no one looked at them…
BUT GARY VEE SAID THEY WOULD MAKE ME RICH
just know they’re trying to sell you something that they can make out of thin air, that’s not how value works…
Sounds like stocks 🤔
F(ork) you
Don’t they also have far-right leanings of some sort? If so, it’s not surprising.
The good thing about SimpleX is that they stayed away from politics, which is really rare in the FOSS world nowadays (looking at you ProtonAG)
I’m really sorry to have to tell you this but they very much have not. Check out the founder’s Xitter account.
