You mean they want to identify you from your credit card instead of your phone number? Bah.
It is almost as if they have no fucking clue who their customers are. Hilarious.
Not me. But the author.
Could you all just stop trying to flee corporate greed jumping from one company to another? We already have XMPP, Matrix and other descentralized solutions.
Oddly enough, once you make that three fiddy payment signal will now potentially have a payment method linked to your account.
If this is true that payment method can essentially be tied to a identity.
I suppose the reason they are choosing to do this is to prevent a influx of bot accounts and spammers/scammers.
And if you are worried about Google’s involvement in this, Greyson Parrelli of the Signal team points out that the payment runs through the same zero-knowledge proof setup it uses for donations.
Looks like there is some way of decoupling the payer identity from the signal user
I figured they must be doing something along those lines, thanks for sharing!
Yeah why am I donating $10 a month every month for them to come up with shit like this. Google? Really? Now I question what else is going on behind the scenes.
I have this in Threema. Thank you
Signal is not trustworthy, because they ban unofficial clients.
