  • jatin161991 Jatin Singh (@jatin161991) reported

    Dear @signalapp it's super annoying when you send me notifications everytime someone in my contacts joins #signal let's fix this?

  • NickFisherAU Nick Fisher (@NickFisherAU) reported

    @candeira @smdiehl @signalapp Yeah this feels really skeezy. It's not like the foundation is struggling financially, I can only assume the reasoning was "ooh crypto, shiny". Feature-wise, I'm also peeved because so many issues with the app should have been fixed before even thinking about payments.

  • verityallan Verity Allan #Rejoin the EU 🇪🇺 #BlackLivesMatter (@verityallan) reported

    @signalapp This is a terrible idea. Cryptocurrencies are appalling for the planet, are basically a giant Ponzi scheme, and are just a terrible idea all round. Please focus on secure messaging without spyware.

  • styvori A Clockwork Melon (@styvori) reported

    @yakinavault @smdiehl @signalapp My dude when someone claims that this technology solves more problems than it creates and the only problem you could think is a fundamental problem of blockchain itself then.... you get my point. Space missions claims it can transport humans and satellites to space....

  • TechFactsRafee Rafee Shaik (@TechFactsRafee) reported

    @signalapp is testing privacy focused #Payments service...

  • roxananasoi Roxana Nasoi (#TheHat #NFTcritic) (@roxananasoi) reported

    @pokkst @signalapp He just needed some help carrying the heavy bags. *sarcasm

  • ShalahAllier Shalah Allier (@ShalahAllier) reported

    @gulovsen @roxananasoi @signalapp hey but we can check with intels voodoo cloud service to see if the intel voodoo cpu functions did their voodoo correctly. Wait i have to retract that. Voodoo can be proven to work more easily than SGX

  • OnTheFenceDev On The Fence Dev (@OnTheFenceDev) reported

    @signalapp And why wouldn't he? He knows better than us how bad the problem is and that most people either don't understand or just don't care. As long as he's OK then that's all that matters - the rest can just suck it up.

  • BarlasLevent Levent Barlas ☣️ (@BarlasLevent) reported

    @signalapp What a terrible mistake, forever tarnishing the reputation of Signal once I loved. It's so sad that you chose to pump a shitcoin and scam people when there's #Bitcoin , which is decentralized, honest, open and free.

  • yakinavault yakinavault (@yakinavault) reported

    @styvori @smdiehl @signalapp Double spending problem for example.

  • moscowchill moscowchill (@moscowchill) reported

    @BufferBandit Looks like people flocking to that shitcoin are already down almost 10%. This doesn't look good for @signalapp But I'm unsure if they announced that merger before that tweet.

  • styvori A Clockwork Melon (@styvori) reported

    @yakinavault @smdiehl @signalapp Name one problem that it solved

  • TSchweren Torben Schweren (@TSchweren) reported

    @signalapp No, please don't.. Focus on more important things, like addressing the open source server code problem or implementing more important features. Why was this a priority?

  • KaffeMedFika Kaffe (@KaffeMedFika) reported

    @signalapp Yikes... Why do you need a shitcoin? Do Signal have a money problem?

  • JoelESvensson joel (@JoelESvensson) reported

    @signalapp This is a terrible idea. I've been an evangelist for Signal for years and this makes me seriously regret it all. Please don't shove ponzi scheme crypto asset tech into Signal.

  • TimeSpaceBeing Sourabh S Nath (@TimeSpaceBeing) reported

    @backwards_not @btconometrics @signalapp Phone numbers shouldn't be used as login information. Signal had promised to add in a feature that would let you use it without a phone number, they haven't done that.

  • yakinavault yakinavault (@yakinavault) reported

    @smdiehl @signalapp Do you get the feeling that maybe you're in the wrong side of history? I'm skeptical about crypto too, but it's solving more problems than it's creating. These changes are unavoidable.

  • sadisticsystems electrified filth ⧖ (@sadisticsystems) reported

    @signalapp As someone who has been an engineer on several successful crypto projects, with an actual economics degree: all crypto projects serve as a mechanism for wealth concentration. It doesn't matter if the climate disaster issue is resolved. All crypto is easy to game. **** this ****!

  • achtkraut オラフ (@achtkraut) reported

    @HillebrandMax @signalapp What does that prove? Bitcoin has more issues?

  • clementd cλementd 🚸 (@clementd) reported

    @ThisIsMissEm @signalapp Ah yes, there may be another reason indeed (android user here and the issues I have are not as blocking)

  • markusparkus5 Markus Läll (@markusparkus5) reported

    @michaelasmith @smdiehl @signalapp It appears this was already talked about way back when in 2017, so no openness issue here

  • yakinavault yakinavault (@yakinavault) reported

    @styvori @smdiehl @signalapp But it's not the same. You could use crypto to purchase assets that cannot be traced back to you by the government today. Don't you think that's a problem solved by crypto?

  • Brotoshi21M Brotoshi21 ⛏️ (@Brotoshi21M) reported

    @signalapp Terrible move for an app with such a good rep. Should reconsider this feature altogether (no one is asking for it) or repent and integrate #LightningNetwork. Your shitcoin isn't even "legal" for US users 🙄. Total fail.

  • immicrosoftfan Naman Varshney (@immicrosoftfan) reported

    @signalapp Although I don't like Mark but what's wrong in using Signal by him there r plenty of examples where CEO of a company uses product or service of his competitor's company @satyanadella uses iPhone for presentations @rsiilasmaa d man behind sale of Nokia phone division uses iPad 🙄

  • TimeSpaceBeing Sourabh S Nath (@TimeSpaceBeing) reported

    @signalapp What happened to the ability to login without a phone number?

  • OnTheFenceDev On The Fence Dev (@OnTheFenceDev) reported

    @signalapp Any why wouldn't he? He knows as well how bad the problem is and that most people either don't care or don't understand. As long as he's OK then that's all that matters - the rest can just suck it up.

  • solyuh Eclaireur (@solyuh) reported

    @signalapp You'd be a stupid businessmen if you ran a service and didn't stay updated on what your rivals are doing and selling. That's just you trying to go bankrupt

  • roxananasoi Roxana Nasoi (#TheHat #NFTcritic) (@roxananasoi) reported

    @gulovsen @signalapp Mystery solved. Crowd: "Why would someone do such a thing?" That Someone: "Just needed some help with my heavy bags"

  • cybercentreme Cyber Security Centre (@cybercentreme) reported

    @signalapp It's better to fix bad audio and video.

  • GroundedAstron3 Grounded_Astronaut (@GroundedAstron3) reported

    @signalapp No man, you're moving backwards with this move... Get in touch with @JackMallers and @ln_strike.. They will help you move forwards...
